MEMOIR 44

The day after Christmas was a day to go visit Tom and Patti for some war. Tom has a back pack full of WWII game. Its called Memoir 44 and is much like my Battle Cry which is a Civil War game. They have pieces like infantry, armour, and artillery. I am but a novice geek but tonight it was a fight to the finish. Everytime you wipe out an opponets unit you get points and 7 wins the game. This particular battle took place at Kursk. We battled tooth and nail until I lucked out and won 7-5 Russians over Nazis. Meanwhile the ladies played Christmas music on their piano. We topped that off with a special about LSTs. Then watched "A Bridge To Far".
I finished the night off with 4 cheesburgers and onion chips from White Castle. A superior night. Pat is at Disney World unitl next Friday. All is well now. Rumor has it the van is being auctioned next week. Shawn and I are playing for the fantasy championship this Sunday. Its my second trip to the game. I am happy just to be there. I finally got all my Christmas haul put away. Found a shot glass from ST Louis Budweiser Brewery. Don't know where it came from.
