133rd Mobile Public Affairs Detachment

May 22, 2013 | 1:43

Soldiers of the 1103rd Law & Order Detachment, Kentucky Army National Guard (based in Brandenburg, KY), have forged stronger bonds of friendship over a game of cards as they prepare to deploy to Afghanistan. But it's not your typical game of Poker or Spades that has drawn them closer together. The 1103rd's bonds have been formed by magic -- "Magic: The Gathering" -- a competitive card game.
