Matching TF numbers to search results and as combatants is a fun innovation.<br /><br />Victory in the Pacific was the first historical wargame I ever played and later owned. Still have the original, though its missing some ships. Scored a mint unpunched copy on ebay awhile back to replace it.Autarchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11140233609829218022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139498400908952220.post-58361277526456196152012-05-23T14:51:20.343-07:002012-05-23T14:51:20.343-07:00The odd thing about that upcoming Rangers-Astros r...The odd thing about that upcoming Rangers-Astros rivalry?

In the last few years I also dug them out again to teach my children who really enjoyed them. They were the primary reason I jumped on AANM WaS when it first came out without knowing anything about the game figuring it was some what a remake of my old favorites with minis.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />Aaronafilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08354781748263526042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139498400908952220.post-63718602971932959742012-05-22T07:53:07.500-07:002012-05-22T07:53:07.500-07:00I think I agree with you about the baseball schedu...I think I agree with you about the baseball schedule. Neither the wildcard nor interleague play have ruined baseball. They have their good points, and it makes me feel like an old curmugeon to rail about how the "good old days" were better. But baseball has definitely taken a few steps toward the NBA model where the regular season is mostly about tournament seeding. Just making the playoffs used to mean a lot more, and as you point out, it was also a lot more fair. And then with a bigger playoff pool, we get 5-game playoff series, which are also bogus. Not to mention, a stretch run for a wildcard slot will never have the same magic that a tight pennant race used to have... Not that I will stop watching...<br />--fredmiracleUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00302448262957195169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139498400908952220.post-40324839609711212422012-05-21T15:06:26.218-07:002012-05-21T15:06:26.218-07:00Thanks, glad you liked them!

After "Prince of Ravens" I don't have anything in my queue for Forgotten Realms -- but of course, that might change in the future.<br /><br />RichRichard Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10329182427795648081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139498400908952220.post-17964254946539580612012-05-20T18:25:11.710-07:002012-05-20T18:25:11.710-07:00Hey Richard.

Just terrific writing all the way through. <br />Do you have plans to write more about this character, or anything taking place in Toril?saemskinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11880574493920927360noreply@blogger.com
