This would be my first one. I've found 2" ceramic hex tiles that I could permanently mount 1:72 scale plastic miniatures that would be fully painted and mounted in small scenes. I'm also going to leave room to mark the troop strengths using a moving cube instead of removing units. Different troop types could then be modeled doing the things that they really did. Artillery units would be one cannon with a full crew, and so on. It would be much more visual in use.
I already have all the materials, it's just a matter of finding the time.
I've also got enough minis to do Memoir '44 also.
The added bonus is that special units (engineers and such) could be differentiated by the unit itself and not an extraneous token.

I played two games of this, Lost to Chris as the north in first bull run, and beat Brian soundly as the north in Gaine's Mill.

I played this game a lot in college with a few regular players.
I played as the Union once during one of the Gettysburg scenarios. I held the strong Union defensive line, including Devil's Den. Historically this scenario trended very strongly toward a Union Victory.
I however, lost 6 to 1 or 6 to 0, as I was completely unable to pour any effective fire on the Confederate troops as they charged across the open ground. They inflicted far more casualties on my dug in troops from the open ground and routed my men upon becoming adjacent to my line.
I still remember the genuine and joyful mirth being expressed by my opponent as he rolled hits (crossed sabres and infantry) again and again. Then I would roll cavalry & artillery against infantry and get nary a hit.
Hall of Shame for sure. But it was memorable and still quite fun, and makes me smile to think about it.

Played several times but in very good shape. One infantry figure has a gun that has the tip broken off(now looks kinda like a sawed off shotgun), and box has shelf wear. That is pretty much it as far as issues. I just purchased the 150th anniversary edition so keeping this makes no sense.
Ships free to US, first $10 elsewhere.

And the only keeper for the day was this little guy at the La Canada/Lambert GW for $5.99. Still need to inventory (hopefully later tonight), but insides are in great shape so I'm optimistic.
Edit: Complete except for 1 terrain tile, and one confederate infantry is a bit chewed and has a slight zombie-lean about him. Oh, and lots of bonus pet hair, which goes great with all the little flag stickers.

Richard Borg's first game in the Commands and Colors series features 15 scenarios, including a popular simulation of Stones River
The Slaughter of the Orphans
Bragg, worried about Crittenden's failed maneuver on January 1st, ordered Breckinridge to assault Crittenden. It was a tall order, but at first Breckinridge was successful. However, once his men crossed Stones River they were met by some 45 guns. The ensuing slaughter cost the Confederates over 1,000 men, with most of the loses falling on the Orphan Brigade, an elite unit of Kentucky Confederates. Breckinridge, a Kentuckian, had led these men into battle at Shiloh and Baton Rouge. He now cried out "My poor Orphans! My poor Orphans!" The following day Rosecrans received reinforcements and supplies. Wheeler had failed. A limited Union attack in the center was a success. Bragg now faced reality. Rosecrans was not withdrawing, but instead getting stronger. The Confederate army was shot up and dispirited. The officers were grumbling and even his supporters in the army were angry and lacking confidence. Brag withdrew towards Tullahoma, a more defensible but barren region.

Played with my 7 year old daughter at her completely unprompted request (I was assuming she would want to play Ticket to Ride once again).
We met at Antietam, and with a few tactical pointers she played well. The game came down to the last die roll. Her Rebs were victorious and she was elated. I think I've lost 3 straight games to her.

This is the 2000 edition pictured.
Battle Cry is the predecessor to Memoir '44. The game has only been played a few times. The box and components are all in excellent condition despite some minor shelf wear.

So this one hardly counts for as it's only been collecting dust for about 7 months.
But I rate it a 9 and only play it 0nce in 2011, and 0 in 2010, 1 in 2009 and nothing until 2006 when I got my copy and played it 6 times.
I want to get 6 plays of this in during 2012

Saturday: My buddy Jonathan and I finished up the Jackson Campaign with the battle of Cedar Mountain. I finally won a battle! It came down the very end, both my generals were by themselves and Jonathan played a coordinated attack. He was able to roll 7 dice to attempt to kill a general and get the 6th and final flag, but was unable to do it! I then killed a infantry unit to take the 6-5 victory. The final on the campaign though was Jonathan with a 3 flag edge. After that we played Gangster. It was okay, we played 3 players and felt 5 might be better.
Sunday: Two games of 7 Wonders. The first game was my worst experience ever with 7 Wonders. 2 players were new and 4 players were constantly forgetting how the game worked, even though 2 of them have played it half a dozen times. Confusing costs with resources they have, it was rough. Surprisingly though, my sister who was a new player and had to ask a lot of questions and isn't a gamer at all, enjoyed the game enough she asked me when our next game day will be and wanted to play another game of 7 Wonders right away. So maybe another gamer in the family?
