Okay, so, ilWife says that we could accommodate 10-12 with masks on except when eating. Does that cover the Originals and any significant others?

If thats too awkward or we need more people space we'll have to find somewhere else. The ilWife has spoken.

If I did join up it would need to be a weekend. Then coordinate with my wife over here because telling my mom to hold the line solo with kiddo might result in someone getting buried out back.  ;D

WOW!

K&J Magnetics, Inc. (they sell hobby magnets) just built a mini 3D model of the Red October with a working "caterpillar" drive.   :D

they also have instructions to build one yourself.  :thumbsup:

I am also happy to report that amongst the items left in my storage unit were two "tubs" of paperback books, so I still have several older CBT novels including the Warrior Trilogy (autographed), Sword and Dagger, and Wolves on the Border.

Not much, work takes up all my time during the holidays. Other then that, I’ve been working on a video game content channel with some buddies. Unfortunately our editor is... inconsistent at best, so content is very infrequent. Got my dad a 3D printer, so that’s resulted in some neat miniatures on demand >:D

On That note: Merry Christmas to you all and I hope you are all doing well.

Good to hear from you. :thumbsup:

 Just got home from spending the holiday with the family.

 Also just talked to Darrell; he's been "busy" lately but is doing well. We MAY get together this weekend depending on his schedule.

If something gets released, tell us.
We'll twitch the youtubes to facebook whatever video you released.
God I'm so old when it comes to terms.  ;D

I lost power early Monday morning; didn't get it back 'til Wednesday, only to loose water usage due to busted pipes. (not mine, I DID open all my faucets BEFORE the freeze)

For once, I can't complain about living on the third floor of a 3 floor apartment.

We kept power, but lost water for about a day and are still under a boil order. Some friends still have no power, and have been staying with us this week so their lizards don't freeze.

I lost power for about 2 hours and that was it.  Though the house got cold fast.

In other news I have had my first COVID shot so I'm almost ready to be seen in public again.
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.

Huzzah!

It'll be a while until I can get mine. From what I understand, if you catch covid, you're not eligible until you've been clean for 90 days, and I had it back in January.

Don't worry, Stina and I both lucked out with mild cases, only lasted about a week.

My second shot will be on the 25th, which means I can go to public places by April 8th.

Still alive, no covid moments but a couple of moments I fretted for my family.
Mom has a new pacemaker so hopefully she'll keep ticking for years.
Played Alpha Strike with kiddo, also getting him into RPGs
We're surviving, one day I'll be back at the tables again, assuming one day we have tables again.  ;D

He still has a lot to learn about Initiative.
Every time he has to go first, he'll charge right on in, so I'll get around him for backshots.
He cries and I tell him  "no don't cry over your bad tactics, learn from them. Be better than some randos I've seen at the stores."  ;D

And then once he's learned this, mess with him by playing a capture the flag scenario which rewards you if you're able to get into certain hexes before the other player. :)

Is he still mech-only, or has he learned to respect the ground-pounders or fear the skies yet?

Right now it's been Alpha Strike 1v1, Clan Mechs from the Kickstarter boxed set.
I'm not ready for his 7 year old grip on my metal minis. Some day he'll have a chance with them, but for now one piece figures.

That's fair.

I promise that if/when we can store game again, I won't introduce myself to him with a Shiva or a Dig Lord, and a max of only a half-dozen infantry units.

Good plan, at the moment he already knows of "Dad's strange friends who like robots too", or at least how I described you lot.  ;D
