Command and Colors : Ancients has a hojillion expansions and is easily playable with the missus, if you're up for playing a block game.  The second expansion has some of Sertorius' men to kick around in it.

The core  game itself is OOP, but there's still tons of merchants that have it in stock from what I've seen.

Bet your buddy Dr. Gates wouldn't buy one.

Gallic war repeatedly refers to itself as a game between the Roman player and the..German

Such a heinous offense, I decided against trying it.

Course not.  Ancients aren't his thing.  He only plays postmodern.

I spazzed out and ordered SPQR and War Galley. 

I got a package. Time to rub the numbers off the Scipio counter during our alone time.

Got Rome at War: Queen of the Celts for 75% off retail. I will rape the Boudicca counter.

Command and Colours (sic) is a good game

My gaming partner just received APTO and AOI to go with AETO. We're planning a combined/conjoined game starting in -35 in Abbesinia, moving on to -36 in Spain, -37 in China then -39 for the whole shebang. See you in four years time.

How's the APTO production value?  Is it pretty?

[Delirium]

It is, mostly because AETO looked like crap.

The rule books have improved dramatically (although they're still remarkably chaotic in content at least now they don't make you nauseous when you read them). Map is nice and counter art is slightly improved. The charts now look professional and there's a nice summary of air unit capacity and status. The OOB cards are still a nightmare.

Overall I'd say this is a game that is worth buying but if you never had to experience AETO you wouldn't rate it as high as I do.

Never been impressed with Decision Games' production value, except recently.  War In The Pacific and Wacht Am Rhein notable exceptions.

I bought A Touch Of Evil. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/35815

I am not sure why they bother with an original music CD (just like in Last Night On Earth), but the game itself should be cool.
