Don't blame Ed for his 8th grade-level WW2 interests; too many war movies on Saturday afternoons as a kid.

Get the one those guys make on the Boer War, "Farmers vs Empire".  Just as awesome.

I bought some of those French games. Haven't played them(or punched them) but I liked the subject matter.

The Donald Trump of Wargames gets a pass.

I played Fallen Eagles extensively last Fall and helped a bit with some rules clean-up, also did a FAQ for the game. I was supposed to be a playtester for the follow up game on Austerlitz but just could not find the time with it.

I really enjoy the system, right level of tactics for me. And pretty as you say. Absolutely worth getting into.
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen, and keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again; but don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin, and there's no telling who that it's naming. For the loser now will be later to win, cause the times they are a-changin'. -- B Dylan

I really need to find a group for Pathfinder Adventure Card Game. I effin' love that game but none of my boardgame groups has taken to it.

Oh well, at least I can play solo via the app...

I managed to snag a deal on it at WBC, but it's still in shrink in my closet.  I'll be trying it out when I get more free time.
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.

Oh look, the Rudy Giuliani of Wargames gets a pass, too.

Just finished a weekend in the country with friends, food, booze, and Pathfinder Adventure Card Game. It was nice. :)
