I'll bite. I've been soloing the shorter GTC scenarios, Race to Spotsylvania, then the Wilderness and next probably the larger Spotslyvania scenario.
I've never played GCACW before. It is a fantastic system, very dynamic and just the right operational level. I really only have two problems with it. First is that it has fairly high wristage, which I don't mind much. But the main issue is I'm still coming to grips with just how many status markers I have to manipulate and know. The counters can stack high and you *have* to use the force displays.
I cannot *wait* for Battle Above the Clouds, which I preordered after play GTC.

Soloing the long campaign game to reacquaint myself with this gem. It's mid 1759 with +12 French VPs, but with French forces dwindling....

Just finished playing one of the scenarios for this puppy. So far really good! I love the VP mechanic and the catchup mechanics as well, very cool.

I'm not much of a grognard anymore, but this has seen some table time, and I suspect it'll be seeing a lot more.

It is a wargame!

A freind of mine bought this awhile ago and hasn't been able to play it. So he asked me to borrow it and give it a try.
The short answear The allies blow.
I am having a hard time figuring out how to gain an advantage. I think I need to slow down even more than I have. Using some green actions to do nothing may be the solution to surviving until the Prussians show up.

I'm five turns in to a solo game of this, and hoping to complete the full game by the end of January. It's taking so long because of all the notetaking for a possible session report ! Anybody interested in the Eastern Front battles should consider getting this game.

The fragmentation of the wargame subdomain is total bull.

On the table to teach it to myself.....I have two guys who want to learn this........I can't wait. After reading through the rules this looks like it'll be great.

The Civil War Brigade Series works very well for me (suspension of disbelief and all,) and Three Battles of Manassas is probably my favorite among all the games in the group that I've played.
Tom Raymo and I are about one day into the big scenario (6.4) from "Clash of Volunteers". We have it set up in the big table in his basement so we can leave it up between sessions. I'm eager to get back so I can write more orders for my misguided subordinates to bungle!

The follow-up to last month game. We decide to restart and switch side , so I am now playing the Allies.
It started with a game of cat and mouse on the Lybian front, with not much happening. My hand wasn't too good, many cards that would have been useful later but that I got too early(like getting the AUS reinforcement in my first hand, leaving me little choice but to play it and send the AUS in Irak to start which wasnT' optimal for me right now), while the axis hands looked alot better.
1940 mostly went by without much happening. Burdia fell to my allies, but that's no great feat. I also started the offensive a bit in the south, but with all the units in limited supply and some really bad rolls, it lead nowhere. VP track was standing at 11
1941 Once again the axis get a really good hand and while I didn't get a bad one, it wasn't up to par to the axis hands. He managed to activate Irak and also had the card to give him a division to appear there. At least my AUS division was still there but having Irak as a threat really wasn't in my agenda! Plus he payed the card where I had to eliminate 3 divisions and BR armor, ouch, I wasn't expecting that(this is only our second game, and the first time was mostly a learning game where we never got pass second round of 1941) I had to give him 1VP, it would have opened my frontline too much had I not done that. I managed at least to get Tobruk and stationed BR armor division there with some brigades. We both ended the first turn with a card to limit the others hand size, so that advantage got somewhat negated. So the next turn I draw 6 cards... and all are from the year 1940, ARGH, a bad shuffle when I mixed the 2 decks together! 3 of those cards where combat cards too. Luckily, the axis didn't have much better so it was a round of small skirmishes but it allowed me to clear some units in Etiopia. In the 3rd round the german arrives at the front and I must say I wasn't in too good position to make a strong stand, I had diverted too much energy in SA and Irak and my front line was pretty meager. We are now in the fall of 1941, I managed to hold Irak off but it's still a threat and my units there being in limited supply really sucks. I cleared all but one of the IT unit in SA(really must get that one before the end of the turn!) and the Lybian front was reinforced a bit by the Indian divisions, so I should go back on the offensive there soon enough. I also got a nice hand with lots of OPS and reinforcements in it(finally!)
We played one card in for the Fall round then called it a night. VP stands at 10 right now, not the position I was expecting to be in(Isn't there a dang card to end that dang Irak revolution?) but I'm hoping to push the Lybian front when we resume this game.
We are still learning the cards and making rookie mistakes because of it, but that's part of the fun

I have this set up on the table. Played the first scenario once, and the second scenario three times. Setting up for the Campaign game. Gonna see if I can pay my euro gamer friend to play me in the campaign game, the other Wargamer in my area is recovering from Neck surgery.

I got this from my wargame secret Santa and the map is being unfolded almost as I type this. I've got things going on right now that are keeping me from any f2f gaming so this might be the perfect game for my immediate warganing future. I'm ready to take the beach.
