Habs, how are the plans for the "Republic of Rome" game going? Any timeframe in mind?

Would love to be a part of the game if possible - just got my copy last week.  I hate the Faction Vote tuckboxes...

I just got my copy of NES' Overlord from overseas and I got hold of a Killing Ground copy as well (I had to find and buy a Space Hulk copy and trade it to a guy in Stockholm).

Other than that, we're just setting up a campaign game of GMT's 1914:Twilight in the East at the club, I'm on the Russian side, we have five or six players and will likely spend a year or so playing once a week.

And I just noticed that GMT will release the remake of Wilderness War pretty soon, I like that.

This is a good game year.

Del, why don't you play ACTS/CDG games? Or do you?

After our last HIS game I set up another game on a Swedish forum. Bad move. People could take four days to make a move and when I complained about it and tried to up the pace I got "hey, I got a life, I'm playing as fast as I can" in response. Turn two took almost two months to complete and that's when I bailed.

Anyway, if the right game with the right people shows up I'm game. Do you have any ideas?

Well, I am almost always up for another game of PoG/BtB/Wilderness War/TS etc., etc.

Sorry about the lack of response on this (I think you made a couple of other posts asking, as well).  I've been rather preoccupied the past couple of weeks, but am much freer now.  I expect to start a recruiting thread Saturday night and we'll go from there.
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.

Be sure to download the living rules for Killing Ground;  there are some changes in there that aren't in Overlord.

Today I got the Game of Thrones LCG Core Set. Me and my buddies are eager to play.

I played that not too long ago.  I had fun, though I am biased towards liking any game that has mechanics similar to Magic : The Gathering (which this does).  I think it'd be more fun with the full complement of four, however.

Played it with three people today. We had a blast. I got pwnd but then I'm pretty much an LCG n00b. I played House Lannister against Stark and Baratheon.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Let me get back to you, Twilight Struggle is a fairly new acquaintance of mine, that would be fun.

IIRC, they've incorporated some late errata online.  Not that big of a deal, but something to look for.

Hey Habs/anybody else;  anyone know anything about Decision Games' Storm of Steel?  It looks like Totaler Krieg! for World War 1.

Okay, I'll check on Consimworld, thanks.

No worries, I was just curious on which were your plans about it.  :)
