Good times. But no brown liquor Struggle of Empires..... that needs to be fixed next time.

In my parallel universe (Game Days, happening at the same time in MD) I played both Napoleon's Triumph and Guns of Gettysburg. NT went the whole distance, with me winning as the Allies after 4 hours - and not due to morale. (First time I've ever had a non-morale win, I think.)
I played GoG just to learn the rules - a friendly gamer had it already set up and invited me to play - and we made it through 1/3 to 1/2 of the game (Day 1 of 3) in 3.5 hours. Good game, but complicated and long. I will probably end up stickering my copy, but we'll see if it ever gets played.

Indeed it was! As I was making my list it dawned on me that it was the only economy I had built all weekend. I like the game, but it felt like I was going back to a prior job, doing work I used to do. Not a bad thing, but just a curious feeling.

My buddy Stephen has been trying to get in a complete game and Sunday night we went to it, just two players while the other remaining players went after something else too uninteresting to remember. I cracked open the bourbon I had brought and sipped at two fingers' worth, then before refilling took a quick scent of the scotch first, and the bourbon was done. I moved over to the scotch for the rest of the game. Shellie's a lovely young girl, but she's wrong about liquor. The Macallan 10 in spite of being less developed just has this great peppery sting to it that's perfect for someone like me who drinks two drops at a time. Just enough to touch the tongue, squeeze it to the roof of the mouth and feel the flavor develop. I got just toasted enough to enjoy the evening and managed to stay there on the edge for the remainder of the night. Granted I'd rather have been killing Frenchmen than employing them, but Le Havre set a leisurely pace and we finished it with two good machines running, Stephen's better than mine late in the game. You don't hurry on Sunday night. No particular need.

Two-player Le Havre is pretty open. Virtually no blocking, so you go after what you want and see what you can do to make it work. I'd be curious to see if it holds up with three or four players where you do a lot more sitting and where there's more likelihood of interfering with each other. I could see how it would be very programmatic if you played it frequently, but I haven't, so it was a good play. I've now wrung out the "beef strategy", may go for the "ship strategy" next time. That's where euros fall flat for me, in the channeling, but for the first few plays that really doesn't matter.
