The Official --( Introduce Yourself )-- Thread!

[Shad]

Well, I’m Scott Blanchett.  I retired from the Army (medical) in 2013.  I’m prior Navy, then law enforcement before I went to the Army in 2004.  I’m married to a wonderful wife who graciously indulges me in my hobby.  I have just a few game systems in my collection as I have some memory issues related to my deployments.  I originally started with hex and counter games again in 2016 when I acquired Panzer Blitz and Leader.  After finding the games lacking in depth, I went to try the Tactical Gamex ruleset to get leadership value.  That’s when I read a short blurb of how Panzer Grenadier was trash from an ASL player’s point of view.  That’s when things took a turn for the better.  With my curiosity peaked, I looked in to several games and got hooked.  My first purchase was an amazingly cheap copy of Cassino.  From there on, I have continued to acquire different games and supplements.  For me, this is the best platoon level system I have ever encountered.  The variety of games, scenarios and units is phenomenal.  From my own military experience, leadership in an engagement plays a huge role, and PG takes that and meshes it in to the game very well.  I enjoy the gameplay as well as reading and writing AARs.  I also plan on writing articles from time to time.  Being retired, I have plenty of time to game and study the battles and areas of operations a little more in depth.  Looking forward to scratching my military itch more and more through PG.
