Can't speak to Attack Sub. But take a look - cadet McMurry was leading the competition after day 1! If you can imagine yourself in a dogfight - which I'm sure you've seen dozes of in film/TV - then you can play DiF.<br /><br />I will also be at Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4836956334020662322.post-67124466239759907812012-02-26T19:07:44.466-08:002012-02-26T19:07:44.466-08:00Greetings Preston:

When the event's start date gets a little closer, maybe we can then make arrangements to actually schedule a few specific games (both Avalon Hill and SPI).<br /><br />Best Regards, JoeJCB IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16490081362549015107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4836956334020662322.post-46334799410469417382012-02-26T18:42:45.476-08:002012-02-26T18:42:45.476-08:00p.s.

I spend most of my time over at the Down In Flames table, helping Mike Lam run that game, but do break out for other stuff occasionally.
