It looks like this Thursday may have a game as well. Thursday is Veteran's Day (WWII and other war memorial day) in the USA.
Vince wants to get a Full Thrust starship game going.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

You're not alone, Maksim... stress has been a norm in my life lately. So hang in there and drive on! 
We're in this together!

Maksim, I guess this is one of those moments when you really wish you could get Terminator armour - pity E-bay doesn't sell these (or do they?). Hang in there old* man.
*'old' as in 'wise'.

Hay that sounds like 99% of all the meeting I have ever attended in my whole life.
I just LOVE my job!

Hi!
I wish I had meetings like that. Mine are about who gets chemo or radiation therapy and how long are they going to live....
...I could use some "feel good" conferences....

I guess every job has its downsides.

I'm feeling much better today. Having a day off helps. I caught up a ton of paperwork yesterday and found out that some of my colleagues are in similar situations.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Romulkans vs. UN Space Fleet - Vince's Space Game AAR:
We played a Full thrust game using customized house rules and two fleets:
- UNSF fleet with five ships: three dreadnoughts, 1 battletship and a cruiser.
VS.
- Romulan Fleet with three ships: x1 Large Romulan ship (probably BB) and x2 medium Romulan ships (Probably cruisers).
The Romulan fleet predictably cloaked and got the drop on the UNSF fleet which was in a wagon wheel protecting a planet from invasion. The Romulans decloaked to launch plasma torpedoes at the UNSF flag ship and nearly destroyed it with just the plasma torpedos. Their follow-up phaser fire destoryed the UNSF flag ship. UNSF return fire consisted of four missile volleys, five fighter strikes and a large amount of laser fire which claimed the large Romulan ship and nearly damaged the other two (their higher-tech shields held). After that, the Romulans fled and both players learned some new lessons as well as turning out some new playtest data for Vince (the host).
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

We still had time left for a game and played a 3-player "Sword of Rome."
The Estrucans / Samnite alliance decisively won, soundly defeating the Greeks and me, the Romans. It was a sad loss with the Greeks and Romans losing every single dice roll and being widely victimized by the random event Gauls (In a 4-player game, the Gauls become a PC, but in a 3-player game, they become a random event NPC).
It was a fun game, but I can't wait to actually stand a chance in "Sword of Rome." The odds have been against me in both games.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
P.S.
The game is from a company called GMT which does good stuff.
