It's been a while since I posted anything from the Ambler Gamers. Sporadic meetings and my own laziness have all but killed this blog. But last night we met up for a game of Star Wars Armada. It was my first dip-of-the-toe in this game. I was familiar with SW: X-Wing. Despite some superficial similarities, Armada turned out to be nothing like X-Wing. While in many ways it was more complex, we all agreed that it felt just like a SW space battle, with lumbering capital ships and swarms of light ships and fighters trying to score an advantage. Scott provided the miniatures, and Joe provided the expansive playing space. </div>

(our official name is the Leland Society, named for Charles Godfrey Leland, a 19th century cartoonist/occultist/fantasy author who was an alumnus of the school). Yesterday, we held out first meeting of the year. What did we serve for refreshments? Well, September 22 is a pretty big day for fantasy nerds...<br />

It has been a while since I've posted anything, but that's because it's been a while since I painted anything. For the first time in years, I didn't give myself any big project to work on this summer. Eventually, the bug returned. I started off with these Dr. Who figures that have been in my unpainted pile for over a year now. I gave them a little more attention than I give my usual wargaming miniatures, with a few layers of shading. However, I'm still rubbish at photography. I had hoped that morning light would remedy the problems that come from my tomblike house. Short answer: no. It's me.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, as a reward for doing better in math, I agreed to indulge my daughter's nerdly enthusiasms. Thus we found ourselves attending her (and my ) first anime con: Zenkaikon in Lancaster, PA. I included her photos below, which emphasize her particular fandoms: Miraculous Ladybug, Undertale, Gravity Falls, and Steven Universe. I liked the theme of tolerance and self-expression which pervaded every event, and I crossed paths with two former students, both of whom were rather surprised to find me there.</div>

Cold Wars usually falls at a very bad time of year for me. I'm either travelling on spring break, or else I'm swamped with a very busy week at work. However, with rumors that this might be the last HMGS convention at the notorious Lancaster Host "Resort," I felt I just had to go this once. I went out for the day on Saturday, and clearly a lot of people brought their "A" games.</div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><i>They learned that most of the fighting took
place in 1775 on Breed Hill not Bunker Hill.
General Howe was the leader for the British and General Prescott was the
leader for the Patriots. During the
fight, the Patriots stayed up all night to build a huge wall like structure –
the British were very surprised to wake up and see it the next day. The expression “don’t shoot until you see the
whites of their ‘eyes’ “ was coined in this battle because the Patriots ran out
of ammunition and eventually had to flee.
The Patriots lost 145 soldiers with 274 wounded, while the British were
the big losers with 226 killed and 828 wounded.
The Patriots may have lost but they left feeling very confident for the
next battle.</i></span><br />

After the first two sessions, I moved all of the units back to their starting positions. Both British and Zulus got to recover some casualties, each side was able to redeploy (the poor British had to set all of their troops in place before they knew where the Zulus would attack). Once the halftime show was complete, the Zulus began their second wave.</div>

Our study of Rorke's Drift/Isandlwana last year was so resoundingly popular that I decided to add it to the regular rotation. Comparing Zulu and British ways of thinking about war was provocative, especially after reading Marlantes' <i>What it is like to go to War</i>. And, of course, we got to watch Zulu, one of the best war films of all time, in my opinion. Ian Knight provided a lot of the reading for this section, through both his excellent <i>Zulu Rising </i>and his more approachable Osprey book on the Zulu War.</div>

So, I write about miniatures so often in this blog, I frequently neglect some of my other nerdy enthusiasms. But I here confess to being an art nerd, so it was a thrill for me when the Art Department at my school invited a Buddhist monk named Losang Samten to create a sand mandala in our school over the course of a week. Losang told us that his mandala signified "compassion," and he took plenty of time to talk and meditate and joke with teachers and students. He's sort of like Yoda with better grammar. The gamer in me noticed how much the mandala resembled a landscape--it was far more textured than I realized. It was very easy to get lost in its elegant contours.</div>

This year, clubs were encouraged to share their enthusiasms with their peers. The Leland Society (named after former student and American proto-nerd <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Godfrey_Leland">Charles Godfrey Leland</a>), also known as "The Nerd Club," hosted a variety of nerdy games. We had Settlers of Catan, King of New York, and a game of X-Wing (which I ran).<br />

It's been too long since I posted here. I've been keeping my nerdy self busy since last fall: adding zombies to my 28mm fantasy collection and testing out some rules I wrote with Germantown Academy's Leland Society (aka "Nerd Club"), whipping up some 28mm WWII Americans and Germans ("teaching tools for my Military History class," if anyone asks), painting up 15mm Stormtroopers and Rebel scum, and adding a few Napoleonic odds and ends. Despite that rush of activity, I've been too lazy to post any of it online.</div>

Then, last week, after many weeks of dormancy and scheduling conflicts, I was able to game with the Ambler Gamers once more. Last week's game was AWI, with a Franco-American force trying to hold three bridges against the British and Hessians. Kind of an 18th century "Bridge Too Far." Joe had the Game Cave tidied up, with a full table ready to go.</div>

Above, my French, whose mission was to secure one of the bridges. Their left flank was to be secured by a brigade of American troops. As fate would have it, these same Yanks helped the Hessians to improve their marksmanship by catching unfortunate amounts of lead. The French performed capably, thanks to Steve's ice-cold dice, but thanks to their exposed flank, stood no chance of holding their ground.</div>

A fun day out with the kids and the Children of the American Revolution. The damp weather kept the crowds away,but the soldiers provided an engaging show with drama mixed with light moments. The American gun was trained on our exact position, and even though they were firing blanks and I had a line of Redcoats to catch any grapeshot, I still felt intimidated.</div>

Like many schools, the school where I teach has a summer reading programs. Unlike most other schools, my school allows individual teachers to choose a book of interest to them. Then, on the second day after the end of summer vacation, the students engage in a day full of activities related to their book. This year, a colleague and I offered Iain Gale's <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Four-Days-June-Waterloo-Battle/dp/0007201044">Four Days in June</a>. This historical novel tells the story of Waterloo from several different perspectives, and the students seemed to have enjoyed it. In the morning we showed the film and talked about why things were the way they were in regards to weapons, uniforms, and tactics. Then, in the afternoon, we brought out my collection of 28mm Napoleonics, and we fought a scaled-down version of the battle ourselves.</div>

This weekend saw a "Supermoon" in the night sky, and that must have meant the stars were aligned just right for all of the Ambler Gamer regulars to come to Joe's house for a War of Spanish Succession Slugfest. Over 1500 figures contested the field, and some early choices and extreme die rolls determined the outcome. </div>

Sensing an opportunity, Joe sends reinforcements to push me back. By the end of the game, the best I could claim was that the objective was "contested." Not shown: given that our cavalry had stared at each other for most of the game, I thought I would shake things up in the final turns with a cavalry charge. If I could threaten Joe's flank, I could shake off the shame of a "contested" objective. Bad idea. You know, sometimes cavalry charges don't work. A dead officer and two shattered regiments later, I found my own flank threatened.</td></tr>

Tomorrow I'm off to Historicon, leaving in the wee hours to avoid DC traffic. I'm looking forward to a long weekend of gaming and hanging out with fellow nerds. I'm signed up for a Napoleonic game and a skirmish game based on "The Sound of Music" (!). I'm also helping Joe Alexander run a Spanish Civil War game that was a lot of fun when we tested it last week.,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And just before I left, I finished up some Reaper Bones giants. I'm using them as test samples before I go all in on the current kickstarter. While I'm not happy with my paint job on the male storm giant, they allayed my concerns about paint adherence. As far as the price goes, they can't be beat. Even at retail, these minis were about 1/4 of the price I would pay for metal. The Kickstarter halves even that low price.</div>

Thanks to a head's up from fellow miniatures gamer Eric Turner, I learned about a games day at Fort Mifflin, Philadelphia's own star fort and site of a dramatic battle in 1777. My brother Adam brought his son Jonah, and it was a great day for a family outing. As I was playing Dad, I could not get in on the miniatures gaming, but since there was so much to see and do, I didn't mind in the least. It was my first visit to Fort Mifflin, a place I have wanted to visit for decades, ever since I caught a glimpse of it out of an airplane window on the approach to PHL (Indeed, my kids loved having jets scream overhead every five minutes).</div>
