For my part, much of the Christmas shopping is also complete, at least as the major presents for each RMN Boy and especially Mrs. RMN (not COVID…but while the vaccine might of protected it appears it brought on other health issues). It also follows three months with the Mother-in-Law in town and a simultaneous major health challenge for Mrs.

This is the first holiday we celebrated in our “new” nuclear family configuration since Eldest RMN Boy is in Tech School for the U.S. The week was a bit slow in Casa RockyMountainNavy.

#SundaySummary – Turkey Day 2021 with #CepheusEngine #TravellerRPG Thanksgiving! While I still think Foundation and the Traveller Role Playing Game are closely related, I am glad to see the Genetic Dynasty from Foundation which is very different from Traveller’s Third Imperium. Much better this go around…am looking forward to Season 2. It also helped that with all the episodes out now I could binge-watch the season. I decided I was going to watch Foundation “as-is” and try to set all my preconceived notions aside. So I laid off watching for a few weeks and recalibrated my thinking. When that wasn’t there I was a bit confused and, frankly, unaccepting. I initially started watching the series expecting a story close to the books. Yes, I know Season 1 ended a few weeks ago but I needed to reset my approach to the show. I finished watching the Apple TV series Foundation this week. So this week I worked on organizing what I took in this year. Unlike my wargames and boardgames, I’m kinda poor at tracking my RPG collection. Several more plays and we all relish the simple new strategy challenges of the different game modes. Merry Christmas to me! Boardgameīruno Cathalla’s Kingdomino: Origins (Blue Orange Games, 2021) continues to be a great family hit. I now own all the published GMT Games Panzer series and am very eagerly awaiting Panzer: North Africa (currently on P500 and has “Made the Cut”).Īfter getting an older credit card straightened out my preorder for the Standard Combat Series game North Africa: Afrika Korps vs Desert Rats, 1940-42 from Multi-Man Publishing should be shipping this week. It’s still a great game!įinally, I spent the week integrating the components of Jim Day’s Panzer: Game Expansion Set, Nr 1 – The Shape of Battle on the Eastern Front 1943-45 (GMT Games, Second Printing 2021) into my set. I played one solo game to help relearn the system. 1: North Africaand Tank Duel: Tank Pack #1 (both GMT Games, 2021) and spent some time integrating the new components and reviewing the rules. I also recently acquired Mike Bertucelli’s Tank Duel Expansion Nr. I recently acquired designer Lee Brimmicombe-Wood’s Wing Leader: Supremacy 1943-1945 2nd Edition Upgrade Kit (GMT Games, 2021) and spent part of the week integrating the new components. Not much actual gaming this week but plenty of organization.
