Hi all.
Well we played the last game for this year at Mike's house yesterday and it was fantastic!
Please check out the report on my blog.

Fantastic write-up! I've never played Tactica, but it was my first choice for full-sized rules back in the day, sadly never realized.

Thank you very much for your kind words. We find that even after all these years of playing Tactica that it has never lost it's appeal. Our little group even ran a campaign for over 3 years when it first came out. We have probably played an average of 10 games a year since it was released. Sure wish we could see a copy of Tactica 2.

Do you use Tactica straight out of the box or do you massage it with some house rules? Great write-up by the way.

princeman; why the last game of the season, won't Mike turn on the heat in the man cave?

princeman06 Oct 2014 3:22 p.m. PST

Big Red – the only thing we have massaged is that we created our own points system to allow us to play with large armies. In addition, we created a medium infantry class that has it's own basing and fighting value.
And Oldbob – no Mikes basement is not heated but mine is so we will switch to other games at my house over the winter.
Thanks again to all of you who have taken the time to check out the report and have been kind in your evaluation.

I must ask for Ken to forgive my senility. For the second time I have misreported him as Frank. I have absolutely no idea of why I do this. Ken is a fantastic gamer and a wonderful person to boot. I have updated the blog to correct this horrible mistake. Please forgive me Ken.

Thanks Greg. Frank is not a bad guy either. Looks a lot like Ken.
