Much better than that leather and arrow bullshit.  Medieval conflict is bad enough in Europe, in Japan it's even worse.  ZOMG WHERES MY ORIENTAL ADVENTURES HANDBOOK

:lol:

The japs at least have their head collecting fetish. Although I don't think I've ever seen a game with that.

Anybody have GMT's Wilderness War? I have a chance to score a copy since it's OOP, wondering what people thought about it.

Habbaku

I have it and it's a fun game, but not really all that deep.  I prefer POG or TOC to it, but, then, playing WW takes all of a couple of hours.
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.

Just looking for something 7 Years War in NA;  I'd prefer something operational, but not too many options out there.

I would rank it as not as good as POG or PUG, but better than FTP.

Get Clash of Monarchs, instead.  It's not NA, but it's a pretty damn fun operational game of the period.  :)

Not really comparable though - WW is a LOT lighter. CoM is pretty "heavy", while WW is one of the simpler CDGs. I think WW is very good, myself.

Yeah, but instead of Magua you get Frederick putting the fear of God into people whenever he pays a visit to a theatre.

You've internalized the rules to that monster already?

It is a monster in counter count only - rules wise it is pretty simple, actually.
