New boardgames

[Ed Anger]

I am not ordering the ball bearing game. Or IKEA, the experience.

So many games to look forward to:

I'd love Black and Tan, but I don't want to fight it in the 20's, I want to fight it in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
I mean, really now, how could you NOT want a counter representing a Volkswagen van with the roof cut off for a mortar???  GO IRISH BEAT SC

26 + 6 = 1

The one I am most looking forward is labyrinth, already have it preordered.

For me, Rome vs. Rome.

Ironically, I believe that's also the USC/Notre Dame W/L record.

The games I'm definitely doling out for in 2010:

MMP's Where Eagles Dare (Devil's Cauldron addition) and the other game in the series, No Question of Surrender
MMP's The Tide at Sunrise: The Russo-Japanese War 1904-1905 
MMP's Angola (which probably won't come out until 2011)
COA's Triumph of Fascism (if it's even released)
COA's next Battles of The Age or Reason game on Prague
COA's Fires of Midway (I'm telling you, you carrier warfare fans will enjoy this)
MMP's King Philip's War (Scalping English colonists? I'm so there)

Still have to pick up Decision Games' PTO.

[Delirium]

I would exert some patience on PTO if I were you. There are just too many issues with the rules and play aids right now that you'd develop an ulcer trying to make sense of it. If you can get it at around half price second hand it's probably worth it though.

But it is Critcal Hit.

Really? That broken?

We've ran a global campaign since August and we would have packed it up after two sessions if our rules guru hadn't been equipped with superhero patience (he has three daughters, it might have something to do with it). Regular folk, like you and me, not so much.

The designer is on CSW to answer questions, but it's along the lines of "if I remember correctly, you're supposed to..." and "I usually play that like..." and "I don't want to tell you about that, it would spoil your experience in the late game". It took us three months to figure out if Chinese units could stack with one another.

And if the Germans win, they remain at strength, lose 2 random units to dysentery and lack of food, while the Russians resurrect all the attackers and have another go?

Hitler becomes a god and strikes down every communist with his flaming sword.

To be serious, Berlin '45 games are usually a hoot. Lots of killin'.

[Ed Anger]

Speaking of Berlin games, me and one of my friends are going to get a game of Fortress Berlin going one day.Whenever the Navy stops taking all his time, that is.
