It was a very slow week in games played. No RPG last Tuesday with one player in the hospital and two others celebrating Mardi Gras (in religious fashion). Joel wanted to play BattleLore instead, but I hadn’t brought it with me, and if I had to stop at home first, it would have been difficult to get back out.

Not much, either, in the way of board games. No Memoir ‘44 with the kids. However, the whole family did go over to Ido’s on Saturday afternoon, and so we had a chance to play one scenario of Commands & Colors: Ancients after a long break. I don’t remember the name of the battle, but I was playing the Romans against his Seluecids (including Antiochus). Ido won. His medium cavalry and heavy chariot crushed my right flank for three banners in the first turn or two. I eventually earned a few banners myself, but just couldn’t keep up.

Overall, February was a month of both highs and lows in gaming. I finally joined a local RPG group, I enjoyed the hot new game (Dominion) that I was skeptical about, Ido and I got back to C&C:A, and I played a few games of Memoir ‘44 with the girls. On the other hand, only six board games played over the entire month. I guess I should look at it as quality over quantity.
