WOW .... how do you find anyone even remotely at your level, to play all the tabletop strategy games with ?
In most cases (myself), wargamers play against themselfs! We are a special kind of breed! You split your mind in two, and try not to make a mess of the kitchen floor!
See Calandale´s video above (The Mighty Endeavor), he´s playing by himslf (nasty boy), at his cottage in the woods.
Some folks go to a gaming club where other people have the same hobby, some play by e-mail (PBEM) with the Vassal module (free), if it´s in a PC format, then you most likely play against the AI, or PBEM or Multiplayer, and lastly, some are only for solo play, or you can buy the solo expansion for that game.
Most of the time´s you teach someone, or someone teaches you how to play, because there´s alot of games out there and not everybody plays the same game. If you want to jump into this, just let me know and will do something. Now is the right time (sales) to pick up PC wargames.

Yes I know, just thought you might have played (or playing) the other scenarios.

Now that´s what I call being "in-sync"!
So, how are you liking UO and are you playing solo, if so how? I haven´t had time to get into it yet, been reading the "West Front Tank Leader" rules which I just picked up, and a little bit of "Firepower" (Avalon Hill) which I also just got (BGG). This also came in...
It´s a wargame holiday for me so quite busy!
Glad Iam not alone! Thanks Los!!!

Yes "General Staff" dose look promising, will see, might just back up this project.
Your approach with multi-platform campaigns sounds right interesting, I like the idea. Main problem I see, for some, is the ability to have/play and be proficient in the platforms in use, but for me I see it as a great Idea! I can see a Combined Ops situation with SB, DCS and Arma very easy to get into, also with Combat Mission xx and some hex games could fit the bill aswell as you stated, even iL-2, Steel Fury (or Panzer Elite) and Iron Front could make the WWII era! Overall a great Idea and Iniciative, I bet your group has a great time! Thank you for sharing Los!
On my end, Iam trying to keep my mind busy lately, so I got two new games in from BGG today in the mail, Avalon Hill´s "Firepower" (1984), a very interesting man-to-man (squad) tactical game, and West End Game´s "West Front Tank Leader" (1987), another interesting game with focus on C3 (Command, Control, Communications) with some CDG in it. Compass Games might re-master this game as it´s quite good. Also "Urban Operations" (Nuts) will be in this Friday, so very busy. Will post as I absorb as much as I can regarding the above.
Meanwhile, a Interview with Mark Herman...

A DOD panel (which included James Dunnigan) brings in Balck and Mellethin to wargame out a US 3rd Armored Division defense against a Warsaw Pact assault and assess tactics. Sort of like having Jimmy Page sit in for a guitar jam session:
Much enjoyed this read! Thank you @Los.
Most likely I will get the book also mentioned. In the above doc it´s mentioned that Balck was working on his "war dairy", or is "Order in Chaos" a translated version of such war dairy?
This might be a good read too from Mellenthin...
Panzer Battles: A Study of the Employment of Armor in the Second World War
BTW, it´s this James F. Dunnigan?

Following with the 14th Corps at Salerno, I will be posting my gameplay of "Piercing Fortress Europe" soon.
Again thanks Los!
