They say for sure that most people own a sweatshirt or hoodie. Maybe not everyone is behaving, because there are always people who prefer to stay away from the mainstream when it comes to fashion, but these dresses are long enough, now so that almost all generations who currently live might have experienced their benefits, and these benefits are Numerous. It can be this number of useful attributes that keeps the sweatshirt such a popular item and one that will reinvent itself and create new audiences.

Once you've absorbed in the air-conditioned comfort of one of the Mall, you will spend your time in other boutique flashes and actually offered by low sales and prices at almost any store. Before you know it, the Sun was setting and the shopping center made the announcement last before I finish.
For shopping, if you know you can't resist a bargain then make sure you are planning a trip during the annual Great Singapore sale (GSS) around for the months of June/July, if not you will certainly be drained his account.

Have you signed up for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoKQ_r3E7J4">swagbucks</a>? Some of the last few years of this program, I have to my points (especially with searching the Internet) 100 dollars in PayPal, vouchers are stored! The craft is essentially "free" paper money with a hobby for me!
I hope this gives you some ideas, how to use this program optimally!
If you have collected enough Swagbucks, you can exchange your points for gifts. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I redeem my points for PayPal coupons, but you can redeem for a variety of gift cardsand prizes! For example, a $5 Amazon gift card only 500 Swagbucks ($ 3 is 300 points). Gift card $25 PayPal 2,500 Swagbucks and it is what is left!

He's been playing the Commands & Colors games by GMT. I don't know if I've ever been this addicted to anything before. Well, maybe when I was younger, chasing LTL Mom, but other than that...<br />These games are by Richard Borg, and are the final evolutions of a very fine game system starting out with Battlecry and Battle Lore. You get to set up, play, and get this, FINISH a game in one to two hours, and maybe three or four hours for large multiplayer games when drinking beer and chatting too much.<br />The games come with high quality components. Beautiful, well thought out charts, card decks, special dice,and rules. The rules are written clearly and are simple and well organized. Everything is very intuitive and after a few games you will rarely go for the rulebook or charts. The games come with wooden blocks and you have to apply the stickers, the only down side for some people.<br /><br />The heart of the game system is battlefield friction. Each commander maintains a hand of cards, the quantity depending on the commanders skill level. So historically better commanders will have more cards in their hand giving them more choices of commands and tactics. The cards allow you to activate units based on sections of the battlefields or special conditions. The card deck is the representation of command control/communications problems. So the bottom line is you can do anything that the cards in your hands allow you to do. This means that from turn to turn the commanders will have to react to a constantly changing condition and find ways to get their army to do what he wants despite the fortunes of war.<br /><br />If you are the type of gamer who thinks he should have complete control of every unit in his army at all times, and that things should always go as planned, this game is not for you. However, if you enjoy cursing the cards, the decks, the enemy, the game Gods, and biting your nails until the last turn of every game than this is the absolutely what the doctor ordered.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG-wegAGnl2pT5K_8aeo4AI_8V7y_rVJ94G1isOJg4eD4YmOLlux-ZF1UGv4xOp-IHsQwgFS5M-yza6xB0oYkbb7zMp9-9a78uImAeB57sv90j0DPLr_MprKRx6Dxe3BoyUcK3uEoFK-U/s1600/cover_thumb+CCA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG-wegAGnl2pT5K_8aeo4AI_8V7y_rVJ94G1isOJg4eD4YmOLlux-ZF1UGv4xOp-IHsQwgFS5M-yza6xB0oYkbb7zMp9-9a78uImAeB57sv90j0DPLr_MprKRx6Dxe3BoyUcK3uEoFK-U/s320/cover_thumb+CCA.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9kbX0o65BDkWEvsut9OGQGIYd6rixfMbtxX4VEoa86GIsUxqO0_4nllF8fnwSpI2_uOZaKwwWcK6urwBfw1ITPC-zHLyemDEegFLFwJwgxWj0QB1LUuFLhuCQot1jYY67QQJDlZzOvsg/s1600/CNN+Box+Cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9kbX0o65BDkWEvsut9OGQGIYd6rixfMbtxX4VEoa86GIsUxqO0_4nllF8fnwSpI2_uOZaKwwWcK6urwBfw1ITPC-zHLyemDEegFLFwJwgxWj0QB1LUuFLhuCQot1jYY67QQJDlZzOvsg/s320/CNN+Box+Cover.jpg" width="241" /></a></div>I had been eyeing this game for a long time but didn't try it till a few months ago. I really wish I'd found it sooner. Many of the modules are out of print but the good news is that GMT supports their stuff and they have a reprint system in place for game demand. CCA and CCN look they will both be around for many reprints in the future so keep an eye on it at GMT and join the P500 list to help keep these games going.<br />In the meantime there are rules available for download and modules for vassal play.<br /><br />Of course my group has already started to play this game with miniatures. Finally found a use to drag all my historical armies out of the closet and get them some workouts.<br /><br />I will post some of our miniatures battles here on my blog to give an idea what the game looks like converted to miniatures. <br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06974347562061592083noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687103620587415059.post-87673617750232658062012-06-23T04:09:00.000-07:002012-11-18T02:18:22.216-08:00Desert SkirmishWithout a lot of time for gaming right now we are still playing a lot of board games and "out of the box" miniatures games to keep us going. Here is a small desert skirmish using Axis & Allies minis as well as the new Angels 20 aircraft for props. We like playing early North African games featuring the Italians vs. the Brits. Very challenging and fun little games. Here the Brits are trying to break through a thin Italian defense and exit off the far side of the map. The battlefield is a bombed out airstrip. We play with FOW until the units are spotted by placing the units cards on the table with a cover over them. FOW adds a lot to this game especially since the recon units can utilize their abilities better.<br /><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em;

I think that soon I must come up with a foundation file to handle city blocks with rows of continuous smaller buildings and I need to get a good mix of different sizes. I've added graffiti to these new buildings and I think it looks more realistic.

Nonetheless, I still have managed a bit of gaming and even a small amount of work on my Mech City project. I just uploaded a temporary intersection for the streets http://www.box.com/s/lqcylf4l6xk5x31tk9o8 but I am planning to do some rework on all the roads soon and then on to getting serious about getting the city going for real.<br />Here are some pics from an Angels 20 game I played with George a while back. Angels 20 looks to be a great game. Lots of brain candy and maneuver for you sneaky types, and the models are great. They also work very well for scenery props and other games like Axis and Allies and Flames of War. It is still easy to play and plays fast. I like it a lot and recommend it.<br /><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOcQJY1lHnxrPJYuW2SR1Fz1DwXbRyRI9apqWeQhOkGu6EyQDV0V1BIs1uouVjQlSbWrD828qHB1maCwUJ2nI_s9rmub8LO05-zB6jovZzWVf6P-kymw0710-DkgB-sIvIT0jbRi4J-zo/s1600/DSC05104.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOcQJY1lHnxrPJYuW2SR1Fz1DwXbRyRI9apqWeQhOkGu6EyQDV0V1BIs1uouVjQlSbWrD828qHB1maCwUJ2nI_s9rmub8LO05-zB6jovZzWVf6P-kymw0710-DkgB-sIvIT0jbRi4J-zo/s640/DSC05104.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr align="left"><td class="tr-caption">George's two Wildcats up against my two Zekes.

It was no choice at all! We decided to break in the new Mech Warrior buildings and test out the basic street sizes and stuff while gaming. For now we just laid straight street sections down loose, and spaced the buildings without worrying about the mat showing through. Also, this was the first time some of the guys had played Mech Warrior even though they had played Battletech long ago. All in all it was quite fun and I think everyone is happy with the game. We will eventually add our own scenario and victory conditions generator along with fog of war to finish the game off.

I'm concentrating on roads but that portion has turned out to be the trickiest part by far. I'm trying to plan it out where the downtown districts will work out with a nice modular layout. I've uploaded a couple of straight road prototypes that are double lane each direction. I have found that the wide roads will be the best for leaving enough room to reach into the crowded city districts. Otherwise it will be very hard to reach in between skyscrapers. I left some stripe graphics overhanging the ends of the streets because of some strange problem with my editor. Just cut at the end of the road. The actual dimensions will be 3" wide by 9" long when printed. These long straight sections can be cut to whatever length is required.<br />I also uploaded a second version of the apartment building, this one in gray color. I also rescaled the doorway. I think this is a better fit. I'm working on intersections and corners now and after the roads are set I can finish up a bunch of buildings I have in process.

My insane micro scale terrain project is developing legs fast. I've set up a file sharing account on box.com where I will post my paper terrain as I finish it. As of now I just posted my first building and a foundation file and it can be found here: http://www.box.com/s/lqcylf4l6xk5x31tk9o8 My priority is to get a bunch of simpler and easier stuff up and running first and then move on to the trickier stuff.<br />I am still in a learning curve on the creation end of this project, so the terrain will improve a lot as we go along. For now this is simple and easy to build.<br />While I am new to creating this stuff from the ground up, I am not new to paper terrain. I've built a ton of this stuff, with fair success and have had quite a few people ask me how the hell I can build so much stuff so fast. I thought this might be a good time to post a tutorial for anyone interested. Now, that being said, if you want to see the RIGHT way to build this stuff in all its glory, you should go to Vampifans blog!

If page scaling is turned on then the printed dimensions won't jive. This is really a problem if doing an urban setting with city block style streets. For stand alone structures it is not so important. I recommend measuring the printed pieces the first time around to verify that all is well. You don't want to build a ton of stuff and find out it doesn't work together. I am building all these with a standard foot print increment of 2"x2" for buildings, and 3"x3" for foundations. When I start posting larger structures, they will all increase by these increments so it is easy to make city layouts that fit together well.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><br /><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSR4AJ5DntZsLl4ct8pX9uvPlAZ6LeZzrcaMw7zr7r_gyDsQj26Kb47axfUzCK8IQTmiz5_yx-sbgWOcReQviF_Ly-IoOoi-bLx-1uf3zuXWBjn8_rc9PViohJCxxMUh1ed1wDchBgO8s/s1600/DSC05077.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSR4AJ5DntZsLl4ct8pX9uvPlAZ6LeZzrcaMw7zr7r_gyDsQj26Kb47axfUzCK8IQTmiz5_yx-sbgWOcReQviF_Ly-IoOoi-bLx-1uf3zuXWBjn8_rc9PViohJCxxMUh1ed1wDchBgO8s/s640/DSC05077.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr align="left"><td class="tr-caption">This is pretty much what all you will need.

In order to do that I have found it is easiest to punch a couple of slits from the top side and then use those as a guide to make your scores from the back side. However, since we are using the dark side of the force here, I am simply scoring them from the top. While this is not optimum, in this particular situation it gives enough relief for a decent bend, and this location is not critical because it will all be inside the building. All the score is doing is guiding your bend. Doing this my way saves a bunch of time.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3-GJxL3iMB2mgcJFPCL1wywnf1V4k6wyOE3WhtvhbfEaUGyV_5L_oVvJW9SHoqRPC9nsJz4U4aaUUX66Y3bi-T5vexdPJ4hC0dZKkBSSZGbXpWeqiiWsVvfNd2ITw_qVOU8Yyk2AgxQU/s1600/DSC05094.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3-GJxL3iMB2mgcJFPCL1wywnf1V4k6wyOE3WhtvhbfEaUGyV_5L_oVvJW9SHoqRPC9nsJz4U4aaUUX66Y3bi-T5vexdPJ4hC0dZKkBSSZGbXpWeqiiWsVvfNd2ITw_qVOU8Yyk2AgxQU/s640/DSC05094.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Here is the cut and folded foundation piece.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSemQlQVqIARKOvaXIXInE_ZsGCJ1MEjgUiglJG13-qlpnt0jRY-_Tb52JH-sBaAFKOzm3cpH3cc1mHxtupkSu3NSVm6_dHj_j8fSzIEod2OOnVczfNjOtLiSs3tHM4e5jqNgTUpXBNys/s1600/DSC05095.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSemQlQVqIARKOvaXIXInE_ZsGCJ1MEjgUiglJG13-qlpnt0jRY-_Tb52JH-sBaAFKOzm3cpH3cc1mHxtupkSu3NSVm6_dHj_j8fSzIEod2OOnVczfNjOtLiSs3tHM4e5jqNgTUpXBNys/s640/DSC05095.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">But we still need to black line!

I have several things in the works including some parking lots and streets, which there is a serious demand for. I've yet to find anything comprehensive in that department so I am working more on that than actual buildings to start with. <br /><br />That being said, I am still mucking about with the street layouts and scale so they are not ready yet, but I did work on some buildings just to get my feet wet and try to learn what the heck I'm doing. Gee wiz, I'm not making much sense here am I? Anyway, here is my very first building that I scaled and printed and built last week. It is not perfect, but it is a one piece just under 6" tall and assembles quite well. It is very easy to build as well and is good for beginners.<br /><br />While we are at it, can any of you guys give me some leads where I can post files for free? (I'm hopelessly primitive in this area) I could then start to upload the city pieces in .pdf format as I finish them for any of you who would like to build them.

I finally got my grubby little hands on some Star Trek minis and of course I decided the way to break them in was for the Enterprise to investigate a planet in the midst of a Zombie epidemic. I'm really sorry that I have not had the time to batrep this, but I thought I would throw up a few pics anyway. Rest assured, there will be many, many more adventures with the crew of the Starship Enterprise in the LTL Universe. There is nothing so idiotic that I won't find a way to game it.

My work is still keeping me away from my normal gaming levels so to keep me going I have been sneaking in quite a bit of board gaming the past couple of months. I had a chance to grab both the Europe 1940 and Pacific 1940 offerings from the Axis and Allies board games very cheap, so I did it finally. These two games can be put together to play the entire war on all fronts. We are actually having a lot of fun with this game. It is quite easy to play, but the big strategic decisions are real brain breakers. I highly recommend these games. Anyway, back to the Italians! During the course of my Europe game with Herrodadog, my Italians went nuts and ran roughshod over everyone. At first I was thinking "what the hey!?!?", but in reflection, if you really think about it, the only reason they had a troubled start in N. Africa was lousy leadership and organization. They were definitely poised to be in the driver seat otherwise. So in this alternate universe they can shine. Here's some shots from our game so far. The Yanks have just entered the war and had their first taste of the action.<br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTk7UjGBAdpe-OBDNRsFJi27bLmz8NlKfYlyOI2cK2r4inGq2dWtVAma3zEZYCWVvZ3oqs0CjqvfE0m7tHYcVHPqP25_EinCF-_-ffgPbJ407xVRXS-AhtvNiBUvCT3W1KLFwF1ZCxBdM/s1600/DSC04890.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTk7UjGBAdpe-OBDNRsFJi27bLmz8NlKfYlyOI2cK2r4inGq2dWtVAma3zEZYCWVvZ3oqs0CjqvfE0m7tHYcVHPqP25_EinCF-_-ffgPbJ407xVRXS-AhtvNiBUvCT3W1KLFwF1ZCxBdM/s640/DSC04890.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr align="left"><td class="tr-caption">The A&A game board is rather appealing to the eye and what I like is the little miniature tokens are actually different for each nation for the most part.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA0lznU9cBzVcymWfohS3OHb0wMSu_NIJ6F00RzbIt6gzJHNVZLTbkhFSMkq83IdJvo7VltmCMOrOrf3Qnm_HxFFxv7UhZM0kGsUTpRVtY49UhmpE2cbU1Fgp9AU0Ma-2Ns8OgORjnZFE/s1600/DSC04891.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA0lznU9cBzVcymWfohS3OHb0wMSu_NIJ6F00RzbIt6gzJHNVZLTbkhFSMkq83IdJvo7VltmCMOrOrf3Qnm_HxFFxv7UhZM0kGsUTpRVtY49UhmpE2cbU1Fgp9AU0Ma-2Ns8OgORjnZFE/s640/DSC04891.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr align="left"><td class="tr-caption">Early on my Germans grabbed up all the stuff they were supposed to, and as a bonus they managed to pull off a successful operation Sealion!

It is called "It is Warm Work". It can be purchased at the pdf download sites and there is an active yahoo group. <br />We play it on the cheap using old Pirates pocket models. The great thing about this game is you can put 30 or 40 models on the table and finish a game in a couple of hours easily. Even though it is simple to play, it provides for the main "flavor" items needed in any age of sail game. Wind, tacking, wrecks and hulks etc. and the fighting power of the ships goes down as they take damage which is tracked on a simple record sheet that is easy on the eyes.<br />An important feature of this game is that record keeping is very minimal and very simple. The thing about sail ship games is that there are a lot of great rules sets but they come in a wide variety of complexity. Over time this set has become one of my favorites because I can get it out and start playing with very little prep. Here are some pics from a recent game we played. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWpCOrxAxHZSkt7391lieHBFi5C0vbrWG3xP_KZUypPlYNJn-6R6c7Syel2O-JNa0oIEzWO-GqcHvJSUshiLObPTheQfvWHxq_NrphiwzkuLtnXQ1FrIfXiKQVcGI96nA6BYZU9OMqCW8/s1600/DSC04342.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left;
