“You sank my battleship!”

Trying out Axis & Allies: War at Sea yesterday was fun. I played an Allied fleet, comprised of:
- HMS Rodney
- USS Baltimore (as if I was going to let that opportunity pass…)
- HMS Javelin
- F4F Wildcats (2)
Chris used a mixed Axis fleet, with four ships and a squadron of planes. We didn’t fight a historical battle, instead we fought for three objective points. I took out his planes, which happened to be bombers, in my first attack. He retaliated by taking out the Baltimore and Javelin in his next couple attacks. That’s not what one would consider a very auspicious start… even for a beginner. I was left with the Rodney and the planes. Against a battleship, a cruiser, an aircraft carrier, and a destroyer (I think). The carrier couldn’t really do any damage to me, so it was a bit of a non-factor. The rest of the fleet could be… troublesome. Fortunately, I the Luck Lords of Ventura were apparently with me: I wound up destroying the three main ships while his carrier hid behind an island.
Clitorati was good. I couldn’t get my head into drawing last night, so it was all about the socializing. Both
Last night, after Clitorati and trying to play a little CoH (detailed below), I hit the rack around… 1:30 or 2:00. And was awake at 4-something. And 7:00. Sharp. And a little after 8:00. And a little before 9:00. I hope that’s not an augury of how the rest of the day is going to be.
This morning, I watched the rebroadcast of “Lightning Storm” on today’s Legion of Super Heroes. I noticed something in the Legion tryouts that I had missed the first time: Fire Lad, Polar Boy and Night Girl – all members of the Legion of Substitute Heroes – were there.
And in a couple of other Legion-related items,
The Scales of Justice
After getting home last night, I decided to go on patrol in Paragon City. I joined a team with a couple members of my Super Group and we took on The Freakshow. It was a little tough, we could have used some backup… but we did alright.
Until we got to the second floor of the building.
Then, two things happened:
- We started getting our butts kicked. Repeatedly. Badly. Painfully.
- Two of us started nodding off… in the middle of fights.
That’s not exactly a good combination. So, we scrubbed the mission. And I went to bed.

Namaste.
