    =(

    By Kothra,

    I can't come up with any ideas to blog about.
     
    =(
     
    Except that in Rome: Total War, I actually made it to the Marian reforms without quitting. And I'm still going.

    Aa50

    By Kothra,

    Axis & Allies: 50th Anniversary Edition (anniversary of Avalon Hill, not A&A) is scheduled for release on Nov. 18. I can't wait.
     
    Even though I'll have to wait for Christmas to actually play it, the website should have a downloadable rule booklet for me to read over and over until I do get it.
     
    New features that I am excited about.
    - Italy
    - China
    - Ottawa
    - More victory cities (AKA Ottawa)
    - bigger board
    - Cruisers
    - new sea unit costs
    - sea and land/air technology upgrades
    - territorial control bonuses (similar to RISK)
    - a lot more pieces
     
    New features that I don't like.
    - this area is to be left blank
     
    For those of you who don't know what A&A is, it is a WW2 (duh) stategy boardgame similar to RISk, but several hundred times more complicated.
    Teams always start out the same way, except in AA50, there are two setup options, one for 1942 and one for 1942.
    A&A also features many different pieces, marking different kinds of units (infantry, tanks, fighters, destriyers, transports, etc.) and units can only come into play on territories that have a IC (Industrial Complex), or in a sea zone adjacent to such a territory.
     
    ANyway, it is an extremely fun game. The only problem with AA50 is that it costs... $100! Especially since none of the earlier ones costed more thatn $50 at release...
     
    There are also many spin-offs of the original A&A, which include (put A&A before each of these titles) Europe, Pacific, D-Day, Battle of the Bulge, Guadalcanal and a revised version of the original (AA50 is basically a revised version of that). They have also released a RTS game based off of it. And they have released a miniatures game of it.
     
    Who else has heard of it or plays it?

    Airsoft

    By Kothra,

    I played two games today, with my brother and five friends.
     
    Here's a list of our stuff.
     
    Kothra
    Flecktarn Bundeswehr uniform
    G3A3
     
    Tian
    US Army ACU
    M24 SWS
     
    Aerosock
    MP5A3
     
    Hoob
    US Air Force M81 BDU
    G3/SG1

    Rawr
    P90
     
    Joe
    AK-47
     
    Bry
    M4A1 (Crosman cheap junk version)
     
    So anyway, for the first game, it was me (Kothra), Joe, Tian, and Bry versus Hoob, Aero, and Rawr.
    Joe and I split off from Tian and Bry before the game started, and Tian and Bry split from each other. After it started, I split from Joe and pushed forward, and ended up behind the other team's position. I saw Hoob first (recognised by the black replica PASGT helmet he was borrowing from me), and managed to quickly eliminate him with a volley of semi-automatic shots. After this, I continued to push ahead, and then stumbled across the remainder of their team (Aero and Rawr), hiding behind a tree. They immediately turned and saw me, and since their guns were much more compact than mine, they had theirs up and firing before I did. I dropped down on to my back, hidden from the two by a log. I would pull my head and weapon up every minute or so, and snap off some shots, trying to take them out, but I couldn't do it. Thankfully, the other two didn't try to come closer (we were probably within the minimum engagement distance anyway). Eventually, both Bry and Joe came by the area, and were taken out by Aero. getting bored, I set my G3 to full automatic, sat up, and let loose a volley that took out both Aero and Rawr. I had forgotten that the game was over, and stayed down for another minute before I realised that I had eliminated the entire enemy team. Then we lol'd.
     
    In the second game, it was me, Joe, and Hoob (Hoob and I tend to be on the same team a lot, as we both carry G3s), versus Tian, Rawr, Aero, and Bry. Our team headed off across a shallow depression, and up the hill on the other side. After this, I split off and went in another direction, to do my own thing. I sat for a while, then ran down into the depression, and lay down on my back (probably not the smartest thing to do, especially as Flecktarn + dead leaves = green target). Eventually, Hoob came down the hill to me, and we headed up the enemy's side. We started to take fire when we reached some large tree, and we laid low for a minute. We didn't return fire, and they stopped firing rather quickly. I then ran further into their side of the area, and came out near where the enemy had begun the game. Hoob was taken out following me, so I began firing single shots at a silhouette I saw (Rawr). Semi shots failed due to tree branches, so I opened up on automatic, and took him out. I began moving again, then was shot in the shoulder by Aero.
    It was Aero, Bry, and Tian, against Joe. Joe managed to take out Aero, who joined Hoob Rawr and I at some point where we could see what was happening. Joe (being a noob) called out asking if Bry was hit, and Bry and Tian thought Joe was calling out that he had been hit, so they believed the game to be over. They came out of cover, and then I guess they were all like 'whut' (I wasn't there to hear anything). So the game just ended there. I assume the other team counted it as their win.
     
    So then, I was like 'I'm hungry, let's go eat,' so we went back in and ate food and stuff.

    Argh

    By Kothra,

    I just lost my pictures folder to the depths of irreversible deletion. I don't even know ow or when it was deleted.
     
    Someone please post for me the latest versions of Xaniskit and RZ, please, in case I need to make comics again.
     
    Also, seven hours of airsoft tomorrow, woo.
     
    EDIT: So it turns out it was in my D drive, not my C drive, and I cleared out my D drive yesterday.

    Ayanami Rei

    By Kothra,

    Doesn't fit me, I guess.
     
    So I'll be changing my av/sig theme tomorrow or something. Maybe Tuesday.
     
    I'm thinking back to Nagato.
     
    Or possibly Minami Iwasaki.
     
    Or or or.
     
    Or?
