Well as usual I should be doing a thousand other things, but I've been investing 
a massive amount of time in my favorite online hobby - Youplay.it . Youplay.it is a totally free website where you can play the classic turn-based wargames BLUE MAX (a WWI airplane battle game) and Wooden Ships and Iron Men Fleet battles in the age of sail. Both games are really addicting.

Here's a brief summary: Blue Max


My oldest has taken an interest in the game so I pulled out my old boardgame and we've been learning.

Anyway the online version is a faithful recreation of the board game. Players log on and record their moves. Once all the players in a game have done their move orders the site calculates the movements, rolls the damage dice and resolves combat for the round. It's really a great way to play - blows cyberboard out of the water!

Wooden Ships is an old Avalon Hill title that I never really played before, but I knew it was well thought of by the game's fans. Youplay has made this game very playable by taking over all the tedious record keeping. Another winner.

Game geeks out there? log on and lets battle. www.youplay.it user: moonglum01
