The Brain

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

I have one gazillion unplayed games at home. I get a pass too. :)
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Yes, yes you do, Marco Rubio of Wargames.

Let's dispel once and for all this fiction that The Brain doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing. He's undergoing a systematic effort to change wargaming and make wargames more like Eurogames.

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

As long as it has panzer divisions I'm good.

Transpanzer agenda.   :glare:

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.

Belatedly I realized that this must mean that he is working on yet another COIN game.

After careful consideration I have come down on the side of those who dislike COIN as a wargame. As a eurogame it is challenging but has tougher competition for playing time.

That's OK, just got dinged by MMP today for 11th Panzer.

:cheers:  Would love to know how the Victory Roads game is.  I love the East Front endgame stuff, especially compared to Yet Another Barbarossa game.
