For those of you in the Mouse guard game, I got some feedback on various questions that came up during the game. Here are the links to the threads I posted on the BW forums:

Clarify failure for me
How many factors are you using?
How did you fare in Grasslake?

Games Plus is the center of the universe. Sure, you can try to say it's 4 billion light years away or something. You'd be wrong. My thanks to all there and Buzz for organization.

Did you see those little kids playing that mini game? Yeah, those were mine. And that game is a blast - for both kids and adults. My 8-year old loved it so much he immediately set about figuring a way to to play using punch out Star Wars ships and Army bases (in place of Medieval Knights and Castles). He defeated the Rebel forces (his mother, who had never played before, isn't a gamer, had the rules explained, and then proceeded to have a lot of fun playing only being narrowly defeated by my son's amazing ability to roll simultaneous 18's!) on Sunday morning.

So thanks to Mark for coming up with, and running, an awesome game. If you get a chance to play, I suggest doing so. Doesn't matter if you're a war-gammer or not (I'm not) - it's just darn fun. When's the next chance, Mark?

And thanks to all those who had to put up with my kids. A special thanks to Fenril Knight for a great job of teaming up with my son, and to JesusFreak444 who was kind enough to take a few minutes and make my son's day by battling him in a second game - they do so love to feel like bigger kids by playing against them.

I only wish I could have stayed to battle the Zombies, Hinter. Next time...

Mark, what's the system you're using for the minis events again? "Hordes of the Things" or some such?
