The Here I Stand sequel, Virgin Queen, is now in beta testing.  Forum here: http://talk.consimworld.com/[email protected]@.1dd437e5

Bookmarked that. :blush:

I've been laying off buying any new games, anticipating the year end Christmas sales.

I'm gonna rape my credit card.

And the sales start, but the one retailer starting early doesn't use an online order form.  :lol:

The playtest group that's been formed on Yahoo-Groups has some pretty interesting chatter on it.  Unfortunately, it also has the usual cadre of people who want to design a game by proxy and so don't quite get that the designer has already laid down the basis of the game and just wants people to kick the tires where necessary.

Still, it looks to be pretty neat thus far.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Well I suppose that naturally follows when you see things like this on Consim:

It may be that after the death of Henry III it is assumed the Valois dynasty is over and France operates with a 0 Admin Rating and no card bonuses. But I'm up for suggestions on how to untangle that web if anyone has some.

Wasn't there a free version of this posted online somewhere, complete with decent graphics?

Yes and IIRC GW finally closed them down. Maybe when the current Space Hulk project got the go-ahead.

I think I have it on my other computer.

Not sure if I will buy a copy or not, but I'm certainly considering it.

I couldn't find a "Eradicate Martinus' Forefathers" option, so I'd pass.

You could just lose on purpose by using the "Liberum Veto" option over and over again each turn.  Poland then sinks into the swamp 100 years early.  Win-win, as far as I can tell.

I ordered OCS Burma yesterday, will make a solid effort to finally get my head wrapped around that system, people keep going on about it.

Plus I've played a lot of Twilight Struggle recently. Fucking hell, that is a good game.
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen, and keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again; but don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin, and there's no telling who that it's naming. For the loser now will be later to win, cause the times they are a-changin'. -- B Dylan

It's an RPG but whatever, I bought Rogue Trader.

It's a nice volume similar to all the other Warhammer 40k RPG books. Some lack of proofreading though: sacred/scared, sight/site... running spellcheck doth not proofreading make. Some strange use of "contemporaries", seems to mean colleagues.
