Why spend a lot of time looking for wargaming opponents when you can breed your own? Phil was at home Saturday evening - unusually - and announced that he wanted to play something "with strategy and a map". So I got Paths of Glory out of its box. Phil took the Central Powers, and very quickly got the hang of the rules (he's a clever boy). Unfortunately I forgot that we were playing the Introductory Scenario, which led to accusations of cheating later on Sunday, when I was using my Limited War deck to activate the Italians and send them marching into Southern Germany. But he loves the game, and wants to play it again. And so another nimrod is born........
