So, 9-15 commands? Depending on the scale used, it could be 9-15 companies, up to 9-15 brigades? I will build a spreadsheet to organize them. <br /> Kriegspielerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16249933193318725220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535367891237919312.post-51611999911328319692013-10-31T23:49:11.449-04:002013-10-31T23:49:11.449-04:00I seem to remember getting some U.S. microarmor an...I seem to remember getting some U.S. microarmor and painting some of it, but other than a tank destroyer company, I have no memory of what kind of order of battle I could field.Paul Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02260814589584723033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535367891237919312.post-73014320077431487322013-10-28T00:24:50.602-04:002013-10-28T00:24:50.602-04:00Didn't know you have Spearhead rules.

There was a feeling of urgently needed to catch up. Now, however, I'm trying to get through all those unplayed games and start reducing the collection so that it's not so overwhelming for me (and, especially, the wife, kids and any guests!)<br /><br />I've been keeping track on my blog as well:<br /><br />http://berlingamedesign.blogspot.de/2013/06/101-games-to-playfrom-my-collection.html#moreJeffrey Allershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17341623048476483612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535367891237919312.post-89798168651382533482013-06-07T12:32:21.532-04:002013-06-07T12:32:21.532-04:00Yes, join us.

Confession is good for the soul. :-)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.sierra-madre-games.com/conflict-simulations/#ecwid:mode=product&product=1351771" rel="nofollow"><i>High Frontier</i></a> is kind of an odd duck in my mind. The few people I've heard mention it on podcasts have spoken highly of it, though they haven't made me feel any less intimidated by it. I have one friend who is deeply entrenched on the "realism" side of the "realism/playability" spectrum, so maybe he's the guy I should try it out on. But there are so many other games I'd rather play first, I can't say that it's likely to happen any time soon.Paul Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02260814589584723033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535367891237919312.post-50535823902135887592013-06-07T12:25:44.173-04:002013-06-07T12:25:44.173-04:00Steve, yes indeed, there's nothing like going ...Steve, yes indeed, there's nothing like going through deep storage to rediscover old treasures and find new inspiration.Paul Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02260814589584723033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535367891237919312.post-85469688180266284192013-06-07T12:24:39.677-04:002013-06-07T12:24:39.677-04:00Brenden, the funny thing is that last year I actua...Brenden, the funny thing is that last year I actually tried to find <a href="http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/38886/boot-hill" rel="nofollow"><i>Boot Hill</i></a> when the boys said they wanted to play a Western RPG, but I must have unloaded it at a bring-and-buy.

But just to be totally honest, if I was being as comprehensive as you are in lising every unplayed game, they would total something like 77, and that's not even including RPG's (which I don't necessarily track on BGG/RPGG).<br /><br />A lot of your games are obviously "wargames", so I don't know much about them. However, High Frontier is something that I've been very interested in before, but was at least honest enough with myself to admit that it would never get played, so I managed to resist buying it.Chris Norwoodhttp://gamerchris.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535367891237919312.post-30900180641526284872013-06-07T07:35:23.331-04:002013-06-07T07:35:23.331-04:00I can identify wholeheartedly with this post.
