2019 - A Year in Review

Well, another year gone by and boy was it exciting on the wargame table!

With the family starting to game with me I'm getting more and more time to play games!

TOTAL GAMES PLAYED IN 2019
   Miniatures:   18
   Board Games: 167

I'd like to do more miniature gaming in 2020, but can't complain when I get to play 180+ games a year! Wow!

Here is a list of what was played during the year, and I'll do another post on what I hope to accomplish in 2020. Bolded games are miniatures battles. Post comments of games that may interest me. I did get the following new games for Christmas:

• JAWS 
• Undaunted: Normandy
• Stronghold 2nd Edition
• Operation Dragon (Expansion for Captain Sonar)
• Robinson Crusoe
