My S/O has been told that I don't give up gaming unless it's for a wedding or funeral, and they had better be immediate family. I was willing to give up this weekend, because she is a great GF and I had Friday to game.
I got to game both Friday and Saturday. How cool is that? I got in games of Jena 20 and Albion 20, by Victory Point Games. These are fast fun titles with a 20 counter limit and random effects cards. I'm not sure the French have a chance to win Jena 20, unless somebody is the reincarnation of Napoleon, without the random effects going their way but it's an interesting game. Albion 20 is an alternative history invasion of England by Napoleon. It was just as interesting but both sides have a good chance of winning this one.
I played the S&T Red Dragon Rising on Saturday. Its a hypothetical game of China going on the attack to change the status quo by taking out Taiwan and possibly the Spratley's. A good game with an interesting feel and fast play. Highly recommended.
Other then that, some minor work on miniatures to round out the weekend.
