\"War<\/a>
\nRight. Played War of the Ring<\/a> again last night (my second time). Still learning the game, but more importantly, still really enjoying the game! Played the Sauron side again, and lost again. From what I hear it’s unusual for the Free People’s side to win a Military victory, but not when playing against me, apparently. I wasn’t paying enough attention (again) to the Victory points the Free Peoples (led by George again) were amassing. Angmar is worth one, and is on the other side of the board from me. George even pointed out that I should probably watch out it doesn’t get taken. What I did was misjudge how long it would take me to re-take other areas (ok, and the dice didn’t play nice). But so much fun. This time game only lasted 3.5 hours. <\/p>\n

Mike (playing Twilight Imperium<\/a> at the next table) made some comment over his shoulder about how I should read up on some strategy. Ya think?<\/p>\n

Some of the other guys were playing Twilight Imperium<\/a>. That’s a bigger setup and even more complex. I look forward to learning that one in the future… especially if I get to play the lion-faced race; they just look cool.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
