I got mine from Aries Games.
The Patton of wargame design, the Berg himself, is being immortally quoted elsewhere.
"Rich Berg once responded to gamers comments about one of his games, "I make this ****** up, so can you.""

"Back in MY day we played Battletech with figures made of LEAD! POISONED LEAD! And the only PAINT we had was RADIOACTIVE! Why, we lost at least THREE or FOUR dear friends every YEAR to BATTLETECH POISONING! But we didn't know any better, and we LIKED IT!
And we rolled DICE for HOURS to play our games! There was none of this plastic clicky nonsense! Our DICE were radioactive TOO! And we had to roll them for hours and hours and hours to track EVERY SINGLE MISSILE! Why, my some of my friends are STILL rolling dice for their last turn when I left Norman THREE YEARS ago! And I don't plan to move back for at least five years and it STILL won't be my turn! But we didn't know any better, and we LIKED IT.

Plane fall down, fuel go boom, big hole!

Lithobraking has been one of my favorite words ever since I first read it in StratOps. :thumbsup:

How do you clear a tellurium mine full of Manei Domini and Mechs?

 Take one Mule class dropship, add "several tons of fertilizer-diesel slurry explosive"...…..

………….DROP...………

thank you Gulf Breeze  :thumbsup:

I also just found out that One-Punch Man is getting the live-action Hollywood treatment :D

Well GEEZ.....what to do with an unexpected FOUR DAY WEEKEND.

 As I was finishing "lunch" at work (8pm), I (along with EVERYONE ELSE) was politely TOLD to gather our personal items and leave the building. My supervisor quickly gather the crew together, told us to pack up our tools, clock out, and come back.....MONDAY.....without any explanation.  :o

on "side" note, Gundam infantry are as difficult to paint as CBT infantry despite being slightly bigger. (and those WAPPAs :bang:)

 OH.....and somebody please tell me why the Koreans are getting to play PRO baseball and we aren't? (and they have cheerleaders)

Yeah I have all four of the maps.  If I run out of WWII minis (HA!) I might try building the hills since I have a new set of printer cartridges.

And South Korea had a fast and effective response to COVID.  Saying anything more would break forum rules.

Still alive, still working; at least LA Fitness is back open.

 I finished putting together the Gundam tanks and troops, as well as the Zaku.

 I also found the Sci-Fi Factory game shop in Keller; it looks a bit like my apartment  :o

on the other side of the coin, I will be having surgery on my hands for Carpal Tunnel on the 22nd  :thumbsup: vacation  :thumbsup:

Yep, still alive.  Stuck at home since Spring Break.  School has been over for two weeks.

Okay....now I have reading (and scheming) to do.

on a side note, Australian Football looks.....odd, but it beats the Dragon Ball Super marathon (and it's not as cute as Bang Dreams)

now I gotta go make sure the neighbors don't set my car on fire with their "unofficial" fireworks show.

Finally, freedom from being an essential worker...for the next week and a half anyway. How’s everybody doing? It’s been a hot minute since I’ve checked in.

Ouch, sounds like an ordeal. I assume gen-x is closed with everything going on?
