Tiger II

Curious that no one questions others here who seem to play an extraordinary number of scenarios.

When I was younger and single, i was able to spend 30-35 hours a week playing and studying chess. I did that for several years and then switched to ASL for a couple of years, and then Magic the Gathering for 5 years.

My point is I had lots of free time and spent 90%+ of my gaming on one single game or system.

As Matt W can vouch, i am a slow player. Despite that, I would easily play 150+ scenarios a year if I had as much free time as in my before-marriage-and-kids days.

Playing over spring break at a pace of a scenario or two (smaller ones) a day I found exhausting. I'm not sure how folks keep that up for months at a time.

When I played weekend chess, Go, MtG, and poker tournaments, I had the energy to play 12 - 14 hours a day for up to 5 consecutive days. Also, I had no problem sleeping only 2 or 3 hours a night when attending gaming and book conventions.

I can no longer function at that pace.

But I am sure some people can and thus see nothing extraordinary about a member playing a high number of scenarios over a period of time.

I do wish they wrote short AARs or took pictures of their initial setups as these steps would help me reduce my preparation time; it's kind of selfish of me, especially when considering I only write AARs for about 1/3 of my plays (percentage will increase when we have image support). But I appreciate everyone logging their play because even knowing Axis is leading Allied 2-0 with no draw is information which tells me a little something about a scenario.
