:chuckle:

It can be hard to learn new games online, because you don't get to see what the other players are doing and you can't discuss your moves as you take them. Carcassonne is one that I didn't really get until I played it on the table top.

Fortress America | Board Game | BoardGameGeek

Fortress America is part of Milton Bradley's Gamemaster series. Fortress America depicts an alternate near-future in which all of the world attacks and invades the continental United States. From the west arrives hordes of Asian foes; from the south arrives a union of South American countries through Mexico, and from the east lands come legions of Soviets who have taken over all of Europe. America besieged has to rely on the remaining ground and air forces left in the country along with partisan uprisings to defend mom's apple pie.

Up to four players can play Fortress America, one player is the US and up to three others control the invading units from a particular direction. Being a near future scenario, the units in the game include conventional infantry, APCs, hovertanks, helicopters, bombers, US partisan units, and special "Star Wars" laser relays systems that fire from space.

The game emphasizes combined arms, in that players get a bonus if infantry, mechanized and air power are all used in a conflict. For the invading countries all the units they receive for the game are given at the start so they must manage them wisely. The US however starts with a skeleton defense and builds up throughout the game through a random deck of cards. Further, the US slowly builds up its Star Wars system, and so the longer the invaders are delayed the more powerful the US becomes both conventionally and through their defense system.

Red Die = 6S

White Die = 8s

Blue Die = 10s

No more than 5 units in any one place.

Multiple places can attack a defender.

Defenders have an advantage on the Die roll : 5 always kills.

Is there something wrong with the site? I've been trying to access my active games, but they just won't load.

I can't do very much, the web hoster needs to fix this.
We can just wait.

And draw consequences.

Well, it looks like the ISP lost a customer.

Alert Re: Online Board Games

Finally, after much toil and anguish, I have brought the game Rapa Nui to Yucata.de! :D It is still in Beta until any bugs get worked out.

Rapa Nui @ Yucata

You can play there as a guest or you can register. I am DuckofDeathV there. Feel free to invite me to a game of Rapa Nui or any other game there that strikes your fancy. :yup:

Just want to brag that our very own Flying Monkey is in 10th place among all players of the game Oregon at Yucata.

She kicks ass at that game.

Here's the proof:

Just found another great turn-based site for board games.

((( Boîte à Jeux )))

I am signed up as DuckOfDeathV there too now. There are some games there that I have like Alhambra and my great Christmas gift game The Castles of Burgundy. Also there is an implementation of Dixit there. (Using the actual cards from the game, of course.) Also the classic Euro that I have yet to play: Agricola. Can't wait to give that one a try.
