Sorry for the delay!

Yes, back to Tokosha. I already have the sheets so we'll just be picking up where we left off. Shall be interesting I hope

Scratch that. I can't play this weekend, and I think I'm the only one with the rules.

Due to Sunday's lack of gaming, I made a run up to the Reaper game store in Denton; picked up a copy of Strike Operations and a couple of Dragonflys. :thumbsup:

Sweet. Lemme know when you wanna play next. (I won't be there this Sunday, though. Family outing.)

Similarly, I've been having a serious hankering to drive a D7 around a table. Anyone up for that? If so, we've got multiple game systems to choose from...

Sorry, mine's a keeper. The box is back in stock at the CGL store, though.

Also, trading and selling is explicitly forbidden on these forums. To do that, you'll need to either use private messages, any other website on the entire internet that is not this one, or asking in person. Smoke signals might work too, but last time I tried, the shipping sucked.

Sorry I didn't get there until 2:00 pm.  I tried texting you before then.  Anyway, I should be back next week as I am in Boise this weekend.  And I ordered my copy of the new Alpha Strike (could not find my original for the life of me, the replacement I ordered was in German, and they've changed rules anyway).
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.

Happy Day.  My Commander's Edition came in today.  And I got a set of 3rd Edition Unseens from Charlie Tango.  Happy Dance!

How about Alpha Strike.  I have the new full box set (plus the Beginners set) as well as the older stuff AND I just got my copy of the new Commander's Edition rules.

New player here,

Will be hosting some games at Madness on Saturday 8/3 @ 1 if anyone wants to drop in.  Introducing some friends and MWO buddies to Alpha Strike.

GenX is actually closer to me so I'll drop by next time there's a game going on there.
