(sound of doorbell)
"Hi Scott, got the PCs up and running? Oh Boris is here again (that's Al Amos). Hi Boris! What's kickin'?"
"Come on in Bill, Jeff. You are letting the snow blow in!"
(we come inside)
"Hey, nice Christmas tree. Got yours up kind of early didn't you?"
"Just hoping to put something under it for myself soon!"
"Oh, what would that be? Something for your PC?"
"Yes, well anyway, here are the PCs. Boris (that's Al) and I thought that you and Jeff would team up against us (as we feel that you NEED someone really good to help you out) in a game of Waterloo. Does that sound ok?"
"Sure, as long as Jeff gets to handle the French Guard. You know I just love to launch them on Turn 1 with band playing."
"Yeah, well you and Jeff figure that out. Boris has a new strategy for the Anglo-Allies he wants to try out. Me, well my Prussian hordes will just be looking to roll over your right flank like always."
(Scott and Boris huddle up)
"So Jeff, what is your plan?"
"Wipe em out by turn 20, just like I always do!"
(sound of door bell)
"I'll get it," calls Boris.
(in comes Colin Knox with luggage)
"Hi gang. What have we here? Peters up for another "dusting" (not sure if that is of NZ origin or a NASCAR redneck term)?"
"Yes, we hoped you would stop in. Sort of heckle Jeff during the game and cause him to make mistakes."
"Not on your life, Scott. We French stick together like glue!"
(more huddling by the Allied team - Jeff and I making our move on the PCs)
"Ok, shopkeepers," calls out Jeff, "its your turn."
It is now time for Boris to move Wellington's army. Jeff runs out to the kitchen to get some snacks, Scott takes a nap as his Prussians do not enter for some time.
Cut to turn 20. Scott wakes up and rejoins the game.
"Boris, what have you done?"
"I tried out a new strategy, never yet tried before in our club."
"What do you call this new strategy?"
"The Tulsa Turnaround!"
(Wellington's army has exited the board leaving the Prussians to fight the French army)
"I have my work cut out for me," says the worried Prussian Feldmarschel.
"You have more than your work cut out for you," chimes in Colin. "Blucher is probably going to spend the rest of the summer in Paris."
"Boris, hey Boris! Get back in here. You get to command the 3rd Prussian Corps."
"Who me? I am on strike. They are threatening to close my post house in Siberia and there is no way I am putting up with that crap!"
(Out walks Boris)
Scott turns to Bill and Jeff, hands them his sword and says, "Anyone for a good game of Gin Rummy?
