Wargaming news update: the busy week of AAR's

So far this week has been full of news that I have had to post quickly on the Facebook page but just an update real fast so that readers here know what has been going on.

Board wargamers got good news when it was announced the best BOARD wargaming podcast was coming back with Point 2 Point getting a new episode: http://viewfromtheturret.com/2011/01/17/point-2-point-edpisode-43-now-available

Phew. Quite a few days there of some hectic activity. Ok now back to gaming. I recently uploaded a video of Ancient Warfare Gallic Wars but the game was not kind with FRAPS, as many wargames that play in a window are not. I could not get some of the movement command windows to pop up and some of the other things I wanted to show did not appear but you can get a general idea of the graphics in 2D and 3D mode in the video. Not much going on in the video but me moving and some minor combat.

As a side note I picked up King Arthur the Roleplaying Game and all the expansions on Gamers Gate for 17 dollars. Not bad for over 90 hours of content I would say. Grab them now while they are on sale and cheap. http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-KARPW/king-arthur-the-role-playing-wargame

I don't normally like RTS games unless its a Total War title (sometimes) or something like Rise of Nations but I do like the theme and setting for KA so I will give it a shot even though I have been less than thrilled with Paradox lately.
