BG Weird War II: The Elder Gods Awaken!
The Battleground Weird War II battle reports with The Elder Gods Awaken! This time we share the battle report in its entirety with permission from batrep author, and BG Weird War 2 creator, Brian Cottrell. Brian wears many hats and is also half of the genius behind What The?! Miniatures.
We hope you enjoy the below battle report. You can always find lots of great BG Weird War II weirdness at the official Battleground Weird War II website. If you have your own BGWW2 battle reports you can share them here or on the official forum.
The Elder Gods Awaken!
We played a game last weekend were a group of cultists had taken over a church that had hidden in it a relic that could be used to control the masses. The local military commander was tipped off by a phone call from a nun from the church just before the phone went dead. The Major mustered what men he had available and they headed off to save the captives and neutralize this threat.

WordPress 2.6.3 Update Completed
The CWF Game Cast has completed its update from its 2.6.2 version of WordPress to 2.6.3. Why do this, you may ask. Instead of trying to explain it all to you, the WordPress people did a great job of it already.
Please read WordPress 2.6.3 at the official WordPress blog. That explains all the reasons why we are updating.
The upgrade was performed using the automatic upgrade plugin making this easy as bulls-eying womp rats on Tatooine. We even updated our Woopra plugin version 1.4.0.3 and finished everything in less than 5 minutes. Version 2.6.3 fixes a security hole with Snoopy, which is used by WordPress.
Couple this with our previous installation and activation of Gears and we arrive at speedier blogging. If you have a user account and use either Internet Explorer or Firefox please do the following. Sign into your account. Go to Site Admin. At the top right of the screen you’ll see your username, Log Out, Help, Forums, and Turbo. Click on Turbo and then install and activate Gears. If you are on a dial-up connection (i.e. AOL) you’ll receive a speedier user experience on the blog.
You can also view the below video for all the bells and whistles in WP 2.6.
