What's this blog all about?

"Board games? You play board games?" I hear you say... yes, but not unlike any board games you've probably ever heard of. Monopoly? Cluedo? Guess Who? Battleships? No, not by a long shot. One day someone introduced me to a great little game called "Carcassonne" - named after a French medieval town of rambling streets, walls and sections - where the aim is to score the most points using little random squares of road, walls and cities.
I was hooked and so began my, then our - the Bradshaw Tribe, adventure into Euro- and Ameritrash- gaming...

Good old Days of Wonder!

A couple of weeks ago, I purchased the Mediterranean add on pack for Memoir '44, the British and Italian units/badges etc. After checking through the contents I found the three anti-tank launchers were missing. But in the manual, Days of Wonder stated that if any items were missing, they would replace them. So I sent an email letting them know what was wrong, and lo, a few days later, I got a reply from their Customer Services in France promising the items! A week or so later, they arrive in the post! Brilliant! Faultless company.

Games games and more games!

Anita has gone games mad! She msn's me at work and says She's found Mystery of the Abbey - a sort of advanced version of Cluedo by Days of Wonder (So it must be good....) on Amazon from a US supplier for a decent price. Since when do wives go out and find games or take an interest in their husbands hobbies? That may sound incredibly sexist, but before I get a million complaints, she's never been interested in my games before. It must be to do with the fact that most of the games are a) WW2 based b) Some other war or modern battle based or c) Games Workshop.

Now she is buying games all over. Well I say she, she finds them, I pay for them lol. Anyhow, we found some more in the 'states. Would have been really good price too with the $0.5 to the £1.00 except for the outrageous postage costs......
