mr_weasel's workplace for a couple hours this afternoon. Always fun, even if people do start asking questions of you just because you're standing behind the counter.
Unlike most pharmacies, there's no step, so I didn't get to look down at people.
We played some A&A Minis, and it's quite the fun little game. Rules are fairly light to start and have a not too steep learning curve.
I played the heroic allies, and defeated the treacherous Japanazis (there were no actual Japanese units in his army, though. He could have used the pontoon tank). We didn't get to play through (the 7 round game idea is very good, mind you). I shot my paratrooper wad kinda quick, could have waited another round to catch the germans in a pincer maneuver.
The Italian tank blew up good, though.
It's pretty much impossible to play a Nationalist Chinese army, as their basic unit is about 4 points, and you can't have more than 15 units in an army.
Oh,mr_weasel! Check this out:
