I was going to be money conscious, what with the Xmas season coming up, but fuck it.  I'm selfish.

Ordered OCS Baltic Gap and the ASL Starter Kit #1 Expansion.

Might as well drop a clicker in the box. One click if your opponent is a rules lawyer, 2 clicks if he counts every fucking factor before deciding an attack.

Games like that are perfect for PBEM.   -_-
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.

Yeah, I'm pulling the trigger on that one when it's ready.  Exact same map and scale as The Longest Day.  Without the fruity non-NATO German unit designation.

As long as they have my Ost Bicycle Battalions setting up way the fuck over on the lower left corner of the map I am happy.

The Big Brown Truck arrived today.  God, I never get over the thrill of seeing that box on my doorstep.  :D

OCS Baltic Gap is another sweet production.  And, after Case Blue and GBII, it's nice to finally see some Red Army units with some serious shit behind them for a change, tear assing through Latvian SS wannabes with the 4th Shock. 

Fucking Bagration was no joke.

 I expect i'll soon be playing Stronghold- a polish game a friend of mine has been following.

I am moderately enthused.

No "grumbler grognard" would have that dice tower with "Battles of Napoleon" plastered on it.  One can get a much better game and figures by buying some miniatures rules and plastic figures.  I cannot imagine why anyone would pay $150 for a game with a board that looks to be about 12 hexes by 24.

It appears I have a 50% discount for one GMT boardgame. Which one should it be? Before anyone says Pursuit of Glory or Kaiser's Pirates, I own those already.

I'm trying to resist the urge to get SPQR : Deluxe, myself.  It is a Berg game, but it is also a Herman game...and, shockingly, it seems to have good marks from a lot of people.

Wouldn't Berg + Herman be worse than either of them alone???

Strangely, it seems that they somehow balance each other out.  Their games alone seem to all blow chunks, but their collaborative efforts have worked out, as far as I can tell.
