The NEW New Boardgames Thread

[Delirium]

The Wise around here have little love for SCS but I personally enjoyed It Never Snows a lot. I'm on the fence about Day of Days (do we really need another D-Day game?) but will probably come around and preorder it once I see some artwork (although you sort of know what to expect).

I like SCS, but it always seems to get lost in the wash with the popularity of the OCS system. 

I think Stalingrad Pocket II is kinda like Goldilock's porridge, not too tactical and not too broad.

But yeah, a lot of D-Day titles recently with more on their way.  They're going to be pumping out the first GTS title sometime, think it's going to be the Brit/Canuck beaches first.

There was a large gaming group here that I really wanted to hang with years ago, but the were all-OCS-all-the-time, and that sorta soured it.  That, and they only wanted to play one weeknight a week, from 7 to 11.  I mean, dude, I have to work in the morning, Why doesn't anybody want to play on the weekends, when you've got tons of time to really sink into a game?  Answer?  Because the wife says so.
Fuck that noise.

7 to 11??? That's not time to do shit.

[CountDeMoney]

No kidding, right?  But that's old people for you.

7 AM to 11 PM isn't bad, or even 7 PM to 11 AM, but 7 PM to 11 PM is just set-up time.

Lulz, the Panzer expansion has been waiting at the Post Office for almost two weeks now    Thanks for the shipping notice, GMT!

How are the Panzer games?

[CountDeMoney]

I never got into the Yaquinto Panzer system, but I really got into his MBT/IDF system back in the day.  I like the fact that it's not as labor-intensive as ASL but still gives you the crunchy tactical feel with the reliance on unit-specific stats and reference cards without being overly burdensome.  You'd probably like it;  much lighter than ASL, heavier than stuff like Combat Commander...and more traditional and not as "Euro" as Fighting Formations 

[Berkut]

Hmmm, that does sound pretty good....

I really like Combat Commander - if they could come up with a way to have vehicles in it, it would be a really great game. My beef with it isn't the weight so much as it is that they kind of left out one of the key components of actual combat in WW2.

You can have a look at the rules on GMT website. Your an ASL player right?

[Berkut]

Used to be - haven't played ASL in years.
