Holy crap. That price is  :huh:

Reading the list of physical components, it's probably a reasonable price.  But, yeah, it certainly gives on pause.

Just kind of a shocker for a new game to me. I have no problems paying for what I want. i.e the beach landing follow on to The Killing Ground, ouch, but necessary IMO.

Also I have an itch for Jack Radey's Korsun Pocket  :XD: Fuck.

Jean Rapp finds your 6 wounds to be puny.

Rapp had a lot longer to work with.  It's still 1797!
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.

So, Habbaku, what's the space requirement for the Legion of Honor game? Seems like it may worth picking up while there are still some copies floating around.

I own the Legendary Marvel Superhero game, and it's one of my favorite quick timewasters when having people over. Tell me what you think of the Alien one, I'm interested in it.

RPS had a review of it yesterday, which may have triggered Tamas' purchase (I'm actually thinking of it getting, it too):

I've spread it out, it doesn't seem to need more than a clean desk or kitchen table.

What Seedy said.  If you're going solo, a small table will work.  Only trick is wrangling the charts you may or may not need.

Hey, they reprinted Car Wars.

Just ordered it. Time for 1985 flashbacks.
