War Waged Across My Screen

I was at my local hobby store the other week and found the 1/72 Italeri - PAK 40 AT Gun with crew was marked down. As of late I have been dabbeling with the idea of gaming in 1/72 (and am actually in the process of playing a remote game with someone) So I couldn't pass up the deal. The box came with 2 guns and 6 figures per gun. The first gun and crew I decided to use as my practice run as I don't have alot of experience in 1/72 scale. I figured I would use that gun and crew to game with so if I made mistakes it would matter as much. The second gun and crew I decided to put together for display ...

I sometimes do this when I’m bored at work and have an interesting game going on. To me this little bit of planning away from the game is fun and makes the actually game a bit more real for me. This got ...

I had a little spare time this evening so I jumped back into a game of Civ IV I had started a couple weeks ago. Several turns into my session tonight the mighty Frederick the Great declared war on me out of the blue and began the invasion of my lands. Needless to say this was an unprovoked attack and I was force to defend myself. So far the fight seems to be going well as I am technologically superior to Frederick right now.

Today I continued with my character in the first RPG I have ever seriously played.

A week or two ago I found a great deal on Mount & Blade and picked it up. I was very much addicted the first couple of days and this is actually my third character. The first two I wrote off to exploring the game but made a pact with myself that no matter what happens with this character that I will not start over. Below is where that character is at so far:

I have to say this game has been ...
