>As I mentioned, my partner was the teenage kid (his father was in another game). He was a bit impetuous (charging his missile boats straight into the melee in the middle of the board, for instance, despite being warned by the GM that his weapons had minimum range limitations!), and when told to stop peeling the 'china marker' pencils, explained that he had attention-deficit disorder. We had to watch him, as he kept knocking models over, bumping the gamemat, and kept forgetting the movement rules. He also talked non-stop ("Can we board enemy ships in this game?" "I played a game like this once, it was a naval game with Benedict Arnold." "What I think you should do with your ship is swarm the big gunboat..."). The GM had to give him a lot of coaching on the tactics. Nevertheless, the kid did play the game and was excited about it, so that was good.

>Father players another game and leaves you to look after his son
I may have physically beaten the shit out of the father.

M'kay? You know that at some point you need to let your kids have social interactions on their own? Otherwise he will end up living in his parent's basement until he is 57.

It isn't about socializing the kid. It's about forcing other people to have to deal with a kid with ADD with no warning.
Where can someone pick up a mat like that? I want one for my Full Thrust group.
