“Making friends and uniting communities one recovered tank at a time.”
Good day gamers,
- My 7-Player Co-Op / Competitive game of Dominions 5 is starting to get interesting. Follow me here to watch it LIVE when I stream.
- Playing Though the Ages on Board Game Arena. Having fun, but I don’t do well with this game at all. I don’t stream it, but I guess I could.
- D&D for teens this coming Tuesday, 5/18/2021, 6pm on the Bethpage Library Zoom Room. You need to pre-register so contact Bethpage Library here. (Well…didn’t get a chance to finish this post before yesterday…sorry…but the event was good. Ginger had only two teenagers show up, but they had fun.)
Death Traps Book: ‘Death Traps: The Survival of an American Armored Division in World War II’ by Belton Y. Cooper is a book I’m currently reading. It’s great. It’s a first person account of an Army officer that was in charge of tank and vehicle logistics during the entire European campaign. It’s an interesting, behind the combat line perspective, with many harrowing and interesting stories. The main point of the book is that the American Army went into World War II with an inferior tank, the M4 Sherman. It had a high profile, thin tracks which lead to traction issues, thinner armor than the opponents and a poor horsepower to weight ratio engine. There were improvements over time, but the concept of an American heavy tank was scrapped by Patton early in the war and the tank crews suffered terribly throughout the war. Very easy reading and for me, being an armor veteran, it is very interesting. Check it out, if you want.
Thank you so much for reading to the end of another Game Master Dave’s Dispatch. Give yourself 100XP and until we meet again across the internet, keep your power dry, your machine guns ready and your armor strong!

Lamby Pie, “Dude, why did the Patton cancel the heavy boom booms? Sounds like conspiracy to me, my friend. I think everyone should have played rock ‘n roll instead of firing those bang bang sticks at each other. They would have had a better time.”
