  By the way, I love the team logo.

Say hello.

Are you buying or, you know, playing now?

  Team name was my idea, but the logo is all Burdett's work.

Saw grumbler, doing well as ever;  unfortunately, a sudden issue with his People's Car sullied his expo experience a bit.

Spent a pissload of money today.  Man, if I had a wife, she'd be pissed, and would bludgeon me with the book I bought from grumbler.

Bought Atlantic Navies, since they're retooling the Command at Sea rules to adhere to the Admiralty Trilogy better.

Ordered a copy of Tanker War, which will be a fantastic resource for my ongoing work on US foreign policy in the Gulf since the Carter Doctrine.

Just for shits and giggles, I bought a miniatures rules system based loosely on Egyptian mythology, WarGods, mainly because I'm a closeted Egyptologist, and the salesgirl was a cute Brit brunette.

But the haul of the day was picking up The Hell of Stalingrad, after playing a few demo rounds with the designer, Steve Cunliffe--who I promptly smoked, 2-0.

Man, what a great fucking game.  At first I thought it would be a chromed up version of Up Front! from back in the day, but I was wrong.  It's so much better.  Fluid, fast, assymetrical and side-specific game mechanics, gorgeous production value...a total and complete blast to play.   I was hooked.  My buddy Joey and I played a few rounds when we got back, had tons of laughs.  I mean, the Soviet player can actually improve his side's value during the round by executing his own troops.  How fucking cool is that? 

I highly recommend this game.  Totally and completely playable.

The first game in the War Is Hell card game series, Steve showed me prototype components of the next one they're already playtesting, Midway.  Even showed me the F2A Buffalo card.  Awesome.

I'll probably be stopping by up there sometime to check out the dealers, maybe the auction.  Maybe we can score dinner one night.

Did you pick up any solitaire games?

Did you pick up any solitaire games?

They're all solitaire games here at the bunker.

Allow me to rephrase: did you get any games that were designed for solitaire play?

Nope.

Seedy really needs a visit from me PeeDee and me.

We'll bring anti-tank mines and Molotovs.

[Syt]

Seedy, you know how sad it is to buy boardgames you'll never play?

That's as if I was buying books, computer games or DVDs and never used them.

Oh, wait.

I got that recently on a whim. Have just started reading it (I read the rules I buy). Good value I think.

Yeah, I thought it was quite an interesting subject, and as far as minis rules go, it looks very digestible.
Of course, I'm all about the Basti, baby.

I'm more of an Anubi person myself.
