Re: [Epic] Boardgames (or more non-epic stuff)

We play a lot of Johnny Reb III, Armati, and DBA (I'm trying to get them
into DBR)...

Regarding brining mini's every date, we map out a gaming schedule for
each month. That way we know what's being played and what we need to
bring (if any)

Cheers,

Michael
