I'm working through the weekend, but I'm thinking about spending some time at the GV on Friday afternoon, maybe staying into the evening, depending on finding some opponents.

The following weekend is better for me, January 12-13.

Ok, putting out the call again for anyone who wants to play some DW this coming weekend at Game Vault (12 & 13 January).  My schedule is open all weekend.  I'm open for land, air, or sea games.

This will likely be my last opportunity to play at the Game Vault.  I have FINALLY found employment in Colorado, and will be headed out in just a couple of weeks.  So after this weekend, I won't have any more time to get down there to play.

I should be able to make it to the GV this weekend for a game or two.  I need to check on plans my wife made for us this weekend, and I'll let you know something definitive Friday afternoon, Landlubber.

All right, looks like we'll be starting a game by 10:30 in the morning on Sunday the 13th!

Excellent!  Looking forward to it.  Glad we can get together again for one last hard-fought battle.  My schedule is pretty open, so I could play up to about a 1200 point game if you'd like.

All right, let's do a 1200 point battle--I'll include my dreadnought in a fleet for once!  Or maybe one of the scenarios from Hurricane Season?

I haven't looked over any of those scenarios, but that's cool with me.

Thanks for meeting for a game, Landlubber.  1200 point fleets per side, and the FSA just slowly but methodically took my Blazing Sun fleet apart....

Played a 1200-point game with Greg last Sunday.  His American flying robots pummelled my Japanese battleships:




A pivotal moment--a John Henry class flying robot blew up and took out a good portion of the Japanese fleet:




And the final salvos before the Americans stormed the fortress and took control of the island:




I keep playing against opponents not registered in the X-Cam, so not even any Recon Points earned for this game....

It was a good game Aaron--great to roll dice with you one last time before I head West.  You know as well as I do that I got some lucky dice rolls (maybe my threat of dumping my dice tray along I-40 somewhere in Oklahoma made them shape up).

And I have no sympathy for you about the exploding John Henry...it was YOUR decision to shoot at it.   :)

Any takers on a game here? I have the following available, 28th, 2nd, 7th, 8th and 9th. Of course the Friday games would have to be evening ones. Though I may be able to use my Airplane autopilot to sneak out early... Depending on the day chosen I'd be bringing the Ottoman, and perhaps French, and RuS/Italian players with. Give a shout and let me know your thoughts! Looking forward to rolling dice.

If you guys play a X-Cam-friendly game, we can start that off as well ;).

I'm afraid this weekend is going to be a bit busy (I've got a command function to attend). I might be able to make it up on the 8th, though. I need to start lobbying the wife, though ;).

Hey CDR-G, let me shuffle some meetings round and take a look. Depending on what time I can get out and when they close may be able to get a couple games in. Will let ya know for sure.

Ruck, I still have a print out of the original X-cam we attempted with the guys up here. Are the rules staying the same? May bump the 400 game up to 5/600. Thoughts?
