Obnoxious trucker fights and kills an old Asian man.

I picked up the book. Seems pretty interesting. One of the things that i liked about BA was that it was relatively cheap to get into. There are always cheap WWII minis. Unfortunately, to up armor my regular force to play Tank War, I have to buy 2 more tanks minimum and enough half tracks for my infantry, as every unit must have transport. Still, it seems pretty cool, if a bit unrealistic having that many tanks in that small of an area scale-wise.

Gah! I just finished painting my Vikings, but I am going to the Project Pabst concert that day. Next time i am on board for sure. I really only play historical games and can never find opponents. I want this to become a regular event.

Not sure if "Giant Hedgehog" is actually a legal unit in SAGA.

Hey man. Not to get off topic, but we are practically neighbors. I live on 82nd and Powell. I am always looking for gaming partners. If you ever want to get together and play a game, just shoot me a pm. I don't really play any GW games, but will give most anything a shot. Jeff

Unfortunately, i can't make it to your historicals day at Guardian on the 27th as my buddy bought me tickets to the music festival going on downtown that day. I really want to try this system out, though. Wanna give it a go one day next week?

I am almost done painting up my Viking war band and am looking for a game. If you don't mind me using some figures that aren't completely painted, we could play a game this week. If you would rather I bring fully painted, then it will be next week. i can meet at Guardian, Red Castle, or at my house (near Red Castle). Anyway, if someone would be willing to show me the ropes (or explore the ropes together), hit me up.

It is my understanding that they weren't actually added to the game. They were how they were writing the game originally but then scrapped it in favor of the current system. I think they just put them out with the idea of "here is something cool to play around with if you want." They aren't errata or anything. Just something to toy with with your pals. Which is why there is no real answer to the US question. The US special rule is based off of the actual rules, whereas the airplanes were a different way of representing the same thing. Since the only time i could see the airplanes ever getting used is a friendly between you and your buddy, I would guess the answer about the US special rule would be to do whatever you like. I have never seen anyone try them out or really express any interest in them and I can't imagine that really changing. That said, if you ever wanted to try them out, I would give it a go.

I have a Roku 3. I bought it because the ESPN app was showing all the World Cup games for free and my old Roku 1 didn't do HD. I love it. Such an improvement over the Roku 1. Fast, easy to navigate, and the remote/earphone combo is useful when my gal is sleeping and I am watching something all explodey. We cut cable 4 years ago. I have Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. I have never felt like I missed a thing on cable.

GOT WHAT I WANTED. Thanks, all. Hey all. I have a buddy that is interested in getting into SW Xwing and I would like to play with him. That said, i don't really wanna spend any dough. So... I know someone out there bought into this and then never used it/got tired of it/ hated it. Is that you? Wanna trade your starter set (and maybe a few extra ships) for something? Hit me up. I have nothing GW, but tons of FoW, old Ral Partha, WWIi Microarmor, terrain, board games, etc.

I believe Haven Games in Salem is having a Bolt Action tournament on the 27th. It hasn't been announced yet, but that is my understanding. So... that is something to consider.

I would love to play some Bolt Action or some Saga.

Hey guys. Just a reminder that this fun tournament is down in Salem tomorrow. Should have some cool tables, great opponents, and awesome prize support. Come on down and rumble!

This is a pretty sweet photo set of different kits carried by soldiers at different times. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/history/world-war-one/11006139/Inventories-of-war-soldiers-kit-from-1066-to-2014.html?frame=2994148

The flyer and tournament info for the August 16th Bolt Action tournament in Salem has been posted in the tournaments section, but i was afraid it might slip by your attention, so here is a link to it: http://www.ordofanaticus.com/index.php?/topic/22028-haven-gaming-bolt-action-tournament-august-16th/ I plan on going and would love to see a good group of PDX peeps make it down.

I just left there. There is a lot of FoW Vietnam stuff, quite a few single blisters of regular FoW, a bunch of PSC 15mm minis, and a lot of FoW books. Lots of Warhammer stuff (i don't know much about it) and a bunch of Warmachine blisters. A bunch of paints. PSC also makes 28mm soviets. They had soviet AT guns and heavy weapons teams, which i picked up for Bolt Action. i also got some bombed out building for my Bolt Action Stalingrad table.

These are cheap and would probably do the job for you. http://www.amazon.com/SE-MZ101B-Helping-Hands-Magnifying/dp/B000RB38X8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1405542341&sr=8-4&keywords=magnifying

I don't live in Beaverton, but if you want to come in to Portland, you can come over to my pad and I will teach you the game. i have 2 armies and a table. Or i can meet you at a store close to me (Guardian or Red Castle)

I will be there

Bridgetown Hobbies on Sandy is closing for good. Their last day is Aug. 8th. Right now everything in the store is 27% off.

I have only played one day of FoW since 3rd edition came out a couple years ago, so I am not the guy to talk to. Zeke and lazarus have been carrying the FoW torch.

Here are some short quotes from a bunch of different books. http://shortlist.com/entertainment/books/wisdom-from-sci-fi-novels

Also, Portland's own Red Fang get in some LARPing action up on Mt Tabor

That's a good video and Imma let you finish, but Nekrogoblikon has the best video ever.
