Don't do it CdM. You will spend countless annoying hours of punching the counters out, then you will reorganize your entire living space in order to accomodate the maps, then you will spend half a day setting the game up. Then when you will be ready to start, you will realize you lack time, space, and energy to play it, and pack it all up and never take an other look at it.

That's not the CdM way.

Would you really have listened to anything we said?

Hell you'd probably decide to do the opposite of whatever I said.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I can't lie.  WE HAS TO HAVE IT.

Bought the expansion kit, too.  :Embarrass:

The problem with such a game is that you know, by mere virtue of its size, that it has never been playtested more than once or twice--and both times by the designer, rather than someone objectively judging it for game quirks.  I can't buy a game where there is not even a pretense of quality-control involved.
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.

Some of the chinks in the armor have been exposed on CSW.  But, in the end, I just needed it.

Now, thinking about it, my head hurts just thinking about all the ASL stuff I could've bought instead.

And how that stuff is actually playable PBEM/Vassal.   ;)

Don't worry, though.  Judging by all the other monster games that I own and have never played ( DAK 2, Case Blue, etc.) the resale value is going to be pretty good.  Hell, I bought both DAK 2 and CB on a lark and they're already profitable, if I were to sell them.

Yeah, this was the last of the "Must Haves" on my list that I went crazy with the last year. 
Now, I'm pretty much sated until "Where Eagles Dare" comes out.

The only thing to do now is 1) keep up with the OCS releases that interest me as they come along, and 2) jump into ASL, which I never did.
