Wargaming #107: Turn Your Girlfriend Into a Gamer with Aaron Bostian

Turn Your Girlfriend Into a Gamer with Aaron Bostian

Aaron Bostian shares the story on how he introduced tabletop gaming to his wife and how she became a gamer. His experiences can be helpful to those of us who wish that our significant other (boys and girls alike) could participate in a hobby that we love.

Do you have a success story to share? If so, don’t be shy. We’d love to hear about your experiences introducing this hobby to the special person in your life.

M-315 Raid on Pitt’s Landing 1755

Using the Muskets & Tomahawks rules, players control 54mm models in this non-historical scenario set in the French & Indian War (1754-1763) shortly after the French capture Fort Duquesne (present day Pittsburg). A French and Indians force is attacking the small British settlement of Pitt’s Landing with orders to burn the settlement to the ground and inflict as many casualties as possible.
