I've been interested in boardgames for a while after being introduced to Avalon Hill's Up Front by a friend at work - Eric Topp. He taught me to play and it remains one of my favourite games. While there are new games being released all the time and no doubt many of them great, for me the appeal is in discovering the old out of print classics.

I really enjoy learning new rule systems and trying to play the game well. My likes range across genres and game types. Living in a small country town means the scope for face to face gaming - especially out of print is almost non-existent. While some swear by online in real time for me play by email works the best. I like being able to take my time and think about my next turn without feeling I have to hurry up because my opponent is falling asleep in front of me. Also I like reading up the rules relevant to the current turn.

At present I am playing the following Vassal games via email:

Attack Sub, Gunslinger, Up Front

I hope to play the following Vassal games very soon (opponent found):

Star Fleet Battles Cadet, War of the Ring (SPI)

I'm playing these games via other tools:

Ace of Aces WWI Air Combat Game

I'd like to play these Vassal games if I can find an opponent:

Babylon 5 CCG, Betrayal at House on the Hill, Bitter Woods 1st Ed, Blackbeard, Borderlands, Buck Rogers, Cold War Naval Battles, Dinosaurs of the Lost World, Dragon Pass, Dragonriders of Pern, Dune, Dune Adventure Game, Fellowship of the Ring, Flight Leader, HeroQuest, Imperium 1.05, Merchant of Venus, Net Runner, Panzer Command, PanzerBlitz, Richthofen's War, Source of the Nile, Starship Troopers, Star Trek Starship Tactical Combat Simulator, Submarine, The Creature That Ate Sheboygan, The Legend of Robin Hood

Games I'd like to play via other tools include:

Dune CCG, Lost Worlds - Nova books, Magic Realm, Middle Earth CCG, Titan

So if one of these is something you'd like to play via email with dropbox for the logfiles please give me a shout!
