Once the puppy gets bigger it might eat your computer anyway...

3 dogs and one stupid cat........

i'll stick with the computer over counters.....talk about a battle you cannot win..... [:D]


We have 4 cats. The cats value their life too much to enter the war room. If the door happens to be open, they'll stand at the entrance and look in. The only time the door's open is if I'm going in or out.



Nikademus -> RE: OT-Decision Games WitP (9/13/2006 12:16:00 AM)

Cats are born Commandos....they know no fear......(unless my GF is around)

The counters......the objective are the counters....



Mynok -> RE: OT-Decision Games WitP (9/13/2006 12:19:06 AM)

I remember as a high schooler watching my stupid cat try to walk across my Victory Games CW map that was perched on the wall around my stairwell. In a great scrabble of claws, yowls, counters and cardboard, they all disappeared downstairs....followed immediately by mad scrabbling across the linoleum in the kitchen. Stupid cat.


Never walked on a map again though. [:D]

I soooooooo want this game........but I fear the Mighty Wall of Estrogen will block my attempts.

Negative reinforcement right there...



Mike Solli -> RE: OT-Decision Games WitP (9/13/2006 12:28:09 AM)

I have so many old games in the war room closet that I can fund any game that comes out that I'd like. Things are really over-priced on Ebay. [:D]



Mynok -> RE: OT-Decision Games WitP (9/13/2006 12:37:12 AM)


Well I have gobs of those too. Problem is, I just don't want to sell them.

Of the unplanned and hilarious variety! [:D]

The cat ended my practice of leaving chess positions set up. Cardboard counters - no chance!



Titanwarrior89 -> RE: OT-Decision Games WitP (9/13/2006 1:42:01 AM)

How long does it take to set it up?  Also how many scenarios are there?[:'(]



KDonovan -> RE: OT-Decision Games WitP (9/13/2006 1:58:53 AM)

having grown up mostly in the computer age, i'm curious as to what and how counters work in these classic board games



Terminus -> RE: OT-Decision Games WitP (9/13/2006 2:09:55 AM)

They don't.

Using an extended index digit you move the required counter from it's current location, we shall call this location A, to it's desired location, for the sake of argument lets call this location B. This behaviour is mostly commonly termed "Pushing Cardboard".

On arrival at location B it is customary to role a small plastic cube called a die. This is a form of RNG from the days of powdered milk and ricketts.

It's usually about this time you sneeze and spend the next ten minutes hunting for the 2nd Pz Div under the couch.




Terminus -> RE: OT-Decision Games WitP (9/13/2006 2:49:32 AM)

Let's not forget the joy that is pushing stacks o' cardboard, and then watching the stack tumble over once at its destination. And then you sneeze and spend the next 10 minutes hunting for 2nd Panzer. Or the Golani brigade. Or USS Enterprise. Or...



Sonny -> RE: OT-Decision Games WitP (9/13/2006 3:49:16 AM)

I am green with envy.

My copy got ruined by water damage about 20 or so years ago. Never really played it (couldn't find an opponent) but looked at the maps and counters and read the rules.



captskillet -> RE: OT-Decision Games WitP (9/13/2006 3:57:25 AM)

Or as at like at my old gaming buddy's house..he had a cat that would get in the game room sometimes (when he was too gassed to remember to close the door all the way)and it was like Godzilla goin thru Tokyo [;)]........ not to bad till the time we had the campaign game from that AH monstrosity of a classic The Longest Day set up and about 4 or 5 all nighter seesions into it ! [:@]



RUPD3658 -> RE: OT-Decision Games WitP (9/13/2006 6:22:44 AM)

Growing up I had a dog that cleared off many a board. The first time I recall hearing my step-father curse up a blue straek was after we spent a good two hours setting up some Kursk pocket game only to have the board cleared by a breeze through an open window (No AC growing up).

On one of the other Matrix boards this was called "The hand of god" not to be confused with "The paw of cat". Both had the same effect. [:D]

Looks like a great game.



Onime No Kyo -> RE: OT-Decision Games WitP (9/13/2006 6:30:52 AM)

For every action.....

"Paw of Cat" = "Boot to the Head"

Sample air unit markers. Sorry about the middle strip, I wanted to get as many different air unit types as possible in.

Jim D Burns -> RE: OT-Decision Games WitP (9/13/2006 6:31:35 AM)

British CV units. Top left number is standard air unit capacity, below and right of the air symbol is maximum capacity (if any). The two numbers on top right are armor value and speed class. The two numbers below that are high and low AA values. The white dots on bottom right are the anti-torpedo rating (1-6 possible)

The top left number of the transport units is their transport capacity.

Jim D Burns -> RE: OT-Decision Games WitP (9/13/2006 6:31:50 AM)

Japanese CV units. The top left number for the surface combat ships is their surface combat factor. Their top middle number is the range of their guns.

US CV units.

Jim D Burns -> RE: OT-Decision Games WitP (9/13/2006 6:32:25 AM)

Sample land combat units. Bottom left number is troop quality. Bottom middle number is their AA value. Bottom right is the number of steps in the unit. A step equals roughly 1 battalion.

The unit nationalities displayed from top left are Australian, Burmese, Malayan, New Zealand, African and Dutch.

Kearsarge, Oriskany....how does that work? No CV respawning?



dtravel -> RE: OT-Decision Games WitP (9/13/2006 6:52:32 AM)

A couple of former friends had a house rule.  No die roll was official until the cat had swatted the dice around first.  [:D]



Onime No Kyo -> RE: OT-Decision Games WitP (9/13/2006 7:06:41 AM)

I notice that theyre "former friends". You didnt agree with the houserule? Was the cat biased? [;)]

Notice the renamed CVs are in but just have their hull numbers...no drug induced fantasy respawning/scrapping of historical ships.[;)]

Oh man, I'm fighting the urge to reach for my credit card...
