How to win at wingspan

My girlfriend's family is full of bird nuts and boardgamers, so what a delight when we discovered a multi-award winning boardgame based on building a bird sanctuary. Wingspan deserves the accolades. It is beautiful, wholesome, deep but simple to play, competitive without being nasty, and educational. We burned through a lot games over Christmas, and because I am mildly austic or something, I had to break it. I have a problem and I need help. Anyway, after dominating proceedings I decided to write up my stratagems for you to benefit from. Voila!

Character building guide for Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel

Another one of those posts where I brain dump. Been playing Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel lately because it's something I can do for an hour to unwind. Pick up and put down as it were. Not a good game in the pantheon of Fallout, but fine on its own. The early levels are much more tactically interesting than the late game. Ambushes and minelaying work pretty well against raiders and mutants. Reavers are always static and wait for you, which makes sniping the (boring) game, and robots also have huge health which means you have to basically just run up with a full squad of laser/plasma and shoot the crap out of them.

Best one-run guide to Baldur's Gate Trilogy

I have a compulsive need to write down things I have painstakingly assembled in my head, even if nobody else cares. This is in that vein. I've played the BG trilogy through 4 times (good guy fighter-cleric, neutral fighter-druid, bad guy kensai-mage, neutral Barbarian in a deliberately bad party). Here are my thoughts on how to do it if you only want to play through once and want some respect for roleplaying i.e. you won't kill Drizzt the lvl 14 ranger with your lvl 4 party by abusing the video game format, and you won't mix-and-match good and evil party members who really don't belong together.
