Well, we are in North Metro Detroit, if anybody is interested in playing and lives nearby I'm sure we could work something out.
I started with 4th but keeping up with the times was important back then so followed the crowd to 5th then 6th. 7th was a "bridge too far" so it was back to 6th. Then in the 80/90s we tried every new set that came out but nothing stuck (aside from DBA which is an interesting game but a different animal altogether), most were unsatisfying. Hail Caesar had a bit of a run but interest in Ancients waned and we played a host of other rules and periods. It is only recently that my friend and I have begun playing 6th again. I almost enjoy building armies almost as much as the playing. I know full well that this is really just a fancy version of chess (imagine if you would Hannibal calling up Rome and saying "Hey, I have 1500 points worth of troops, would you lie me to drop by, Thursday maybe, around noon?) but it IS fun.
