23rd times lucky I guess. After so many plays I finally win at the hybrid #eurogame / #wargame #boardgame Wings For The Baron. Design and market aircraft in WW1 Germany. The winner has the highest amount of gold and paper money. Inflation will erode the worth of paper money as the game progresses.
The main game for the #socalwargamers gathering at Geeky Teas in Burbank was the classic CDG Napoleonic Wars. The less said about that the better as Nappy landed and conquered Britain in turn 1. 😜

Some pics of #boardgames at ConQuest Ventura yesterday. CQV is a 3 day #tabletopgaming com in Ventura, CA. Gamers came from far and wide. Greg was visiting from Texas. Some of my #SoCalWargamers pals came up from LA and further. Members of my local #VCSB group also attended. It was good to see a bunch of folks I don’t see very often.

#SoCalWargamers at Geeky Teas in Burbank yesterday.
The main #boardgame was Purple Haze. It’s a mission driven sort-of RPG. No spoilers but the gang had fun despite the highs, lows, & tactical muck ups.
#BoardWargames for 7 is tough. Karl had brought along Alliance. It has the standard Columbia Games block mechanics dumped on the Napoleonic Wars. It’s good that it has scenarios & flexible player count but I found it very meh.
Last game was Five Tribes. A fun but soulless euro.

Combat Commander Pacific #boardgame Battle Pack 9 Island Hopping is up for p500 pre-order at #GMTGames
Congrats to local #SoCalWargamers designer Mark and all the folks who have worked on the long awaited battle pack. The scenarios range from Wake Island, Attu, Saipan etc. Yoshi has been developing and testing the scenarios for ten-ish years. These pics of playtesting with John E and John L are from Orccon 2014 aka #strategicon

Saturday #boardgames at Gameology Pasadena with the #SoCalWargamers
With John visiting we had enough for the planned game of Border Reivers while Steve and I did a 2-player #boardgame
Prelude to Revolution by #compassgames is a CDG on the politics of Russia from 1905 to 1917. Steve played the Government while I was the Revolutionaries. This was my 4th play and it is further clear that this game is biased towards the Government. So much so the developer has now created a balancing variant.

My first cardboard crush were #wargames by such #boardgame publishers as SPI, AH, and GDW. I have dabbled with miniature & computer #wargaming but counters are 😍
The #SoCalWargamers group meets in Pasadena and uses a Google group to plot our shenanigans. We mostly play historical boardgame wargames aka #consim or #hexandcounter games.
I’m a regular attendee at the #GMTGames #WeekendAtTheWarehouse, #SDHist, & #PacificonGameExpo cons.
Why yes, I am a #CounterClipper too! -

It seems fit to do an proper #introducton thread. I’m Tim, I have way too many #boardgames and #DiceHateMe. I like board games for the challenge, the themes, and for the camaraderie. I take part in a number of #boardgame related groups, namely:
The #VCSBG group is based in #VenturaCounty and mostly plays #EuroGames.
The #SoCalWargamers group meets in Pasadena and mostly plays board #wargames.
#TheWargameBootcamp teaches folks how to play historical board #wargames.
