Random gaming thoughts....

A card from Legion of Honor (lifted from Boardgame Geek)
I wish I hadn't started paying attention to Boardgames again because there is way too  much going on that I'm interested in. Problem? I currently only play Boardgames solo and not with any frequency. I have two games currently that I LOVE but hardly ever play (Kaiser's Pirates and Frontline: D-Day).   I'd really like to own the recently released Fires of Midway, but can't justify it right now.

I did make my first ever pre-order a few weeks ago. An interesting Napoleonic Card Game/ Wargame/ RPG(?) named Legion of Honor by Clash of Arms Games which reminds me of GDW's En Garde from way back in the the Seventies (I ran it when I was 11 I think).

We have a Guns at Gettysburg game scheduled for August 14th which I plan on attending. I only have to paint 16 figs to complete my ACW goal. Will I be able to do it? No... I average 4 figs a week so not quite...

I am currently working on a command stand of Standing Frock Coat Union figs from Redoubt. I really like these figures and plan (when I recover from medical bill induced Broke-ass-edness) to buy a couple of units from Redoubt

It seems as though my opportunities to do any gaming at all are rapidly shrinking...

Thanks for the heads-up on Legion of Honor - I really liked En Garde too, so I may have to get hold of this one

It looks like one of those games that is either going to be mind-blowingly great or a total disappointment. Regardless, the money's spent...
Glad I could help out... you should check out the Briny En Garde rules if you haven't already...(Jack Aubrey a la En Garde)
