    Default May 30, 2015 WWI AAR- Happy Anniversary

    On May 30, 2015, I celebrated my 23rd Wedding Anniversary with my beautiful wife, Nancy! Due to inclement weather, we decided to cancel our anniversary plans and stay at home. Nancy agreed to play a game of Wings of Glory with me instead!! It was the first time she played a miniatures war game with me. She is an amazing wife and I am very blessed and honored to be her husband.

    We played a basic 2 on 2 dogfight. There were a few times during the game when Nancy was tight on my tail, but couldn't shoot due to the overlapping bases rule.

    Please note the guest appearance by Field Observer Emmy Lou!

    Epic battle! You were lucky as you said with her just overlapping your tail. I guess the last photo says it all.

    If she keeps playing that will be fantastic but look out. My wife defeats me more now than I her!

    You're a lucky man, Mike - Happy Anniversary.
    (You probably shudda given her 3 to your 2.)

    Didn't want to do just one, since it can get a little boring, and since it was her first game. Maybe I should have given her two to my one. If she hadn't overlapped my bases a few times early on, the outcome could have been very different and the game much shorter!

    Well done to both you & your wife, Mike!
    Hopefully she will want a re match & a two on one would be a good idea as she is a novice at this point.

    We had a great time! She had mentioned she would play a game with me over the Christmas holiday and I never didn't ask her, until our anniversary plans were grounded due to the weather!
