Of the WotC Forums and the OTT

S'alright bro.
I know how it gets sometimes.
I just haven't played since the last time we did.
Well, that's not entirely true. I played my brother a number of times while we were in Florida, but it was the boardgame, not online.
My damn board is so worn out, it ripped in a few places and I had to use tape to repair it. My deck of Command Cards is worn out, which is fine since I ordered a new deck. The dice that came with the game, painted wooden ones, are worn too. I bought some blank sixers and put colored stickers on them to replace the worn ones.

Right now I am solo playing Soft Underbelly: Italy '43, a Strategy & Tactics magazine game. It's turn 7 (out of 22), and the Allies have just taken Naples and done the supply switch. The Germans are in trouble, with few units on the board. I can't wait to see how it turns out. I'm playing the historical scenario, but there is a scenario where Hitler decides to reinforce the 10th Army with the 5th Army and elements of the 2nd SS. Haven't played it yet though. That makes it an almost impossible task for the Allies.

Sounds fun! Is it online or a physcial game?
 

Physical game.
Memoir '44 is the only wargame I play online. Although, I would class memoir '44 as a war themed game more than an actual wargame.

You should check out Strategy & Tactics Press. They offer sample packs of the game edition magazines for $40. You get one S&T magazine with game and one World at War magazine with game. They normally run around $25- $30 a piece.

Which reminds me... my subscription to S&T runs out after the next issue. I need to re-up.
