MarkC, Yep, I know you are trolling, and I like to write for that challenge...
First, I am sure Dragon's Keep is open for all kinds of gaming (not sure about betting and poker tables though, I think those kind of gaming is not legal in Utah...) and have tables. But we are talking about Board Game Revolution on this coming Saturday, so just want to make sure the place is not confused... Second, thanks for the clarification, I mean space and that is correct, well, I like table top gaming too, I still have some Warhammer, 40K and Warmachine miniatures, it is just that I like Historical Simulation Board game more... Third, just have your some and you drop by, I think Rick is very willing to teach a new game and I will try to be there and see if there is anybody willing to learn a new game too. So drop by with your son, bring along anything. And BGR is just less than a 5 minute drive from your place :) I have Man O' War too, the official miniatures and the game is getting very expensive and hard to find. But it is easy to improvise, and I can point you to all the stuffs that can be downloaded to play the game. Look for DreadFleet by Games Workshop, it is simular to Man O' War... BTW, do you still have your copy of Space Hulk? It is selling for around $150 at ebay lately... ttyl --- Ken --- On Tue, Nov 15, 2011 at 3:37 PM, Mark Crane <[email protected]> wrote: > I just enjoy trolling Ken, and other grognards.
