It's an IKEA dinner table. :P The Bjursta:



I read several wargaming guys liking it. It's 140cm by default but can be extended to 180 or 220.

I made my Bjursta into this:


You lose the extendable part, but covering/uncovering the table only takes a minute. It's great for long solo games.

What are these "solo" games you speak of?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Desperate, single wargamers are in YOUR area waiting to play with YOU!

Ikea USA does not appear to have said table.

Table is great. Managed to assemble it with no real trouble, although buying an electric screwdriver beforehand was an excellent idea, as there was about 60 screws for the whole thing.

It completely ruins the otherwise big and airy bedroom's looks. :D But the wife has been understanding.

Good to be playing with the time pressure of having to pack up at the end of the day, even for a game like Skies Above the Reich (where you keep all your data between missions of a campaign on paper, so it's pack-up friendly).

I've immediately gone ape, and ordered not only the new Core Set of the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game (my wife and I we both like it), but also Pendragon and Gandhi.

Pendragon is a great game.

I'm considering picking up The Dark Sands if there's a fall sale this year. Has anyone here played it?

We should try to play Pendragon here. The system seems pretty good for PBEM, no?

That does seem intriguing. How is the East Front version of it?

I've had it on the table once, it was a little too big for me. Might try it again this winter.
But from what I've been reading it should be pretty good.

I WANT TO PLAY THUNDER IN THE EAST!

Will this table hold that?

Are you going to fly to London to do your moves?  :hmm:
