＊和訳有＊ Compass: The War for the Union, Designer Edition

The War for the Union is a strategic level simulation of the American Civil War. It is the long awaited 2nd edition of the game originally published in 1992. Players command the Union and Confederate forces that fought from 1861 to 1865. The map runs from southeastern Texas to the Atlantic and from Harrisburg, PA to southern Florida. The new map is 34” x 44” to accommodate larger counters. Atlanta and Pensacola are now in the Western Theater. Terrain types include forests, rough, swamps, bayou, mountain hexsides, river hexsides (tidal, navigable, and minor), lakes, bluffs, and major and minor cities. Ground units include infantry and cavalry strength points. Quality varies from Militia (worst) to Volunteers to Veterans (best). There are about 5,000 men per strength point. There are corps and army leaders and a few division leaders. Leaders have a Command Rating which indicates how many strength points (SPs) they can command, a Battle Rating (combat DRM), and a Movement Factor which also affects their force march DRM. Union militia recruits now have 3 MPs but a very poor force march DRM. There are seagoing and riverine naval units, including ironclads. There are also river transports which are very valuable to the Union player in developing campaigns along rivers. Since the Confederates cannot use sea movement, the Union sea movement capability is somewhat abstracted.The quality of the armies, particularly the Union, improves as the war progresses. The Confederate player starts out with a small qualitative advantage but the Union catches up by the spring of 1863. The Confederates also have better leaders early in the war but the Union gets more and better leaders as the war progresses. Army counters, such as the Army of the Potomac and the Army of Northern Virginia, are central to the play of the game. Armies enable more efficient use of strength points, leaders, and supply.The Sequence of Play has a Reinforcement Phase during which both players bring on reinforcements. Then there is a Supply Phase. Units that are out of supply, in swamps or bayou, or at Fatigue Level 3 or 4, roll attrition. During the Movement Phase ground units and leaders move, including force marching, and strength points can entrench. Infantry and Militia Cavalry must be under the command of a leader to move. Naval units also move and can attack batteries or other naval units. Then there is a Combat Phase where leaders and ground units attack enemy units.Combat uses an attrition CRT with Light, Medium, and Heavy losses along with retreats. There are strength multipliers and DRMs. Higher quality troops and better leaders are very helpful in combat. One leader initiates an attack; other leaders add their SPs in at a reduced effectiveness. A 10 sided die puts a little bit more emphasis on the odds and a little less on the DRMs. An Army HQ allows the army commander to initiate the attack and all of his subordinates (typically 2 to 4) to add their SPs at full value. In addition to losses, units can pick up Fatigue during combat on an M, H, or retreat result. The more fatigue a unit accumulates, the less capability it has. An L* result also results in a Fatigue Point during Poor weather or a second attack by an aggressive leader.The Confederate Supply Capacity is the total of the supply values of all of the Confederate supply cities. The ability of the Confederates to recruit SPs and sustain armies in the field is directly related to their overall supply capacity. Key Industrial Center (KIC) counters represent the principal industrial areas of the Confederacy. KICs produce Resource Points which are used to construct forts, batteries, and naval units, and for several other game activities. Both players may begin building Level 2 entrenchments and Improved Forts in October 1863The Union begins the war with a small number of seagoing wooden ships and a couple river transports. As the war goes on, the Union player receives ironclads and more seagoing ships and river transports. The Confederates receive a small number of river rams, transports, and ironclads. They can also build a limited number of additional ships using their Resource Points. Naval units can be used to attack batteries and support ground attacks as well as attack other naval units. All naval combat tables use a 10 sided die and have two levels of damage in additional to sunk results. River Depots and Naval Deports are used to trace supply by river or sea, respectively. Union sea movement is simplified by moving through sea zones. The Union player can blockade individual Confederate ports with naval units or batteries. There are two short, introductory scenarios (Bull Run 1861 and Missouri 1861). The Second Edition adds two 7 turn scenarios in just the Western Theater (Tennessee 1862 and Tennessee 1863). There are three 1 year scenarios using both theaters (1862, 1863, and 1864). And then there is the 1861-1865 Campaign Game. Either player can win by achieving the Sudden Death Victory Conditions at the end of 1862, 1863, or 1864 if they are doing exceptionally well. The 1864 Presidential Election occurs at the beginning of the November 1864 turn; the outcome can be influenced by the onboard situation. Players can also select from a menu of 15 optional rules including using a deck of Event cards.

アウトドアや災害の時に使うポータブル電源とセットで購入検討しました。なのでコンパクトで出力調整が細かく出来そうなのが条件です。買ったのは正方形でコンパクトなこちら。IH クッキングヒーター コンロ ヒーター 卓上 台 小型 コンパクト DI-217BKDIまずは家の電源で動作確認、鍋を置いて電源を入れると7と表示まだこの時点では加熱してません。最初これに気がつかず加熱しないなと2分ほど待つと電源オフ。電源を入れたら出力を調整してから加熱ボタンを押すと加熱が始まります。IHヒーター特有の音がそれなりにします。まぁ普通。加熱のスピードはまずまず早いと思います。テーブルでの鍋料理などで活躍できそうです。さて、ポータブル電源でのテスト。使用可能した商品はHypowell ポータブル電源540WIHヒーターの出力を5にすると540Wくらいでした。すぐに安全装置で止まったりはしなかったけどちょっと心配だったので、出力を4に調整して運転すると約500Wで安定して加熱出来ました。お湯が沸くスピードもまずまず早い印象です。もちろん家の電源で1000Wの時に比べたら遅いですが。と言う事でとりあえず使えそうなので今度外で試してみようと思います。

在宅勤務が増え、腰に良いクッションを探していました。使いやすく、カバーも洗えることで、ゲルクッションが自分にとっては良いと考え、購入させていただきました。届いた商品は英語の説明しかなく、一応読めるので、問題なく使い始めました。今のところは特に問題なく、使っています。

私は、初めてbcaaを購入しましたが、美味しく飲めました。350〜450に溶かして飲むと甘すぎるので、750〜850mlが個人的には飲みやすかったので是非参考にしてください。

この価格でこの品質なら、家庭用としては十分です。景品・粗品でもらうタオルより遥かにやわらかく使い心地抜群です。毛足の長いホテル仕様のようなタオルでは、稀に何度洗ってもけばが落ち着かずに不快な思いをすることもありますが、本商品は毛足の長さも適度です。くたくたになったらまたリピートしたいです。
