just DnD mostly. And my wife plays it more than I do. Sometimes she and her friends play other gurps

I've been searching high and low for a set of the white ones, myself. No luck so far, so I've had to use red M&Ms.

A LOT of people are switching to confrontation in the portland metro area.

I have in 40k an 8-9k Ork Horde, a dismantled unassembled space marine army, and 3k Necron Army.

Fantasy - Chaos, and Empire.

I haven't played Warhammer in a while. No one I know really plays, and its a pain to get a game, so I stopped really trying.

I assume you mean Portland, Oregon and not Portland, Maine.

We don't really have a "metro area" here.

Lol. But you do have a microbrew or two.

Since my forced move I have not been able to play as many of my old wargames as I used to.

We even had a now defunct game club back in Michigan just for wargames and RPGs. I played a lot of Star Fleet Battles (SFB), World in Flames (WiF), Empires in Arms, Warhammer Fantasy Battle and 40k, Rolemaster, Starfire, Babylon 5 wars, and more. I still have quite a few of the old Metagaming minigames too.

GURPS is very good for tactical fantasy or historical medieval combat with relatively small numbers of figures, if you learn and use most/all of the advanced rules.

Well, it's good for fairly big battles too, if you revel in the detail and don't mind spending hours and hours at it.

For less complexity of the same thing, there's the predecessor: The Fantasy Trip, now out of print but there is an (even slightly simpler) derivative version with modules being published on the web.

I used to play lots of board wargames (e.g. Starship Troopers, Wooden Ships & Iron Men, Squad Leader, Starfleet Battles, etc etc etc etc), but not very much for a long time now - too much time playing computer games.

Isn't that the Quake II symbol on it's side? (as seen at UserFriendly.org)

European money was much more fun before the Euro...
