Awesome news Eric.  I had no idea Faulkner was working anymore.  Glad he got past his alcohol demons.
Some ASL sounds pretty good.  I get the chit desire every once in a while.  Actually, I'm in a wargaming mood in general.  I still want to play Warmachine SOMEDAY... and I was at Games of Berkeley looking through the Warhammer Ancient Battles stuff.  What scale does that run in?  Yayfun Warmaster scale, or poopy poo WFB scale?  A 10mm wargame sounds neat, mostly since they tend to be cheap to get into.  Any recommendations?  (Pre-modern era is best, for me.)
Oh, there is a strong chance I will be home for about a week in mid-July with a fair amount of free time.  Maybe we can fire up ASL then.  Are you going to be around?
