Today Roshni and I had a good go at Memoir '44 - as usual Roshni took the role of the Germans whilst I was the Americans in a battle post-Normandy. The Germans wanted to counter-attack but the Americans had paratroopers ready to hold them back. Also two platoons of US tanks were ready to roll because US intelligence had broken German radio signals (That is possibly historically inaccurate but there you go) and the tanks were sent to force back the counter-attack. Roshni tried all she could to force a gap in the US paratrooper lines, but nothing could be done when the US tanks attacked from the left and through the centre, destroying first one then the other German tank platoon. This lead to a general German collapse and a win for US forces! Yay as this is a rare event for me!
Also I paid a visit to Andy at Battlequestgames and had a serious think about a new game - either Isla Dorada, a treasure hunting game set on an island in the 1930s - or Pandemic, a co-op game saving the world from multiply diseases. I put Isla Dorada on order, but Pandemic is quite a good game, ranking very high on the Family Geek list...
