Session Reports : FAB: Bulge Challenge Match

Posted by Scott on 2008/3/22 20:12:18 (274 reads)

On Consimworld, I took up a challenge by Kevin Garber to play FAB: Bulge. People were saying it is too hard to win with the Germans and he wanted to demonstrate how that is not true. We are just starting Turn 3 and I can already see he really knows what he is doing. I believe he was a play tester for the game, so that makes sense.

Kevin is doing a move by move AAR so you can follow along and learn good German play and some sketchy Allied play. He already had a nasty breakthrough on me.

I tried to make hyper link, but something is funky here and it will not do it. So you will have to cut and paste the URL. Just make sure you do not cut and paste the """". This was way more annoying then normal.

Point2Point Episode 31

In their latest episode, Jason and Scott talk by phone about the Boardgame Players Association's Winter Activation meeting. Scott shares his performance, his encounters, and his opinions about this annual card-driven wargame convention. Jason and Scott then offer up contributions from their favorite Bavarian, Moritz, who talks about the fantasy game Divine Right, and a new mini-series offered by point2pointsource.com's own ASLSKfan, Mark Zielenski. Jason has an extensive interview with John Kranz of Consimworld about the history and ideas behind the website, his opinions on other websites, his gaming tendency's, and the dream that is the Consimworld Expo. They close the Best Two Hours in Gaming with a new, listener-inspired Gamer Rule. Enjoy!

Please note three sound issues with this episode: Jason's phone discussion with Scott has a voice modulation issue early on. ASLSKfan's first contribution is a bit staticky. And toward the end of the John Kranz interview, a mysterious hum pops up for about 5 minutes. Is this due to the jamming equipment of the Eurogame Empire, or is it Jason's relative inexperience at sound editing and recording? You decide!
