Right, so you choose to just be weird in a boardgaming thread. Very assburger of you. :)
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.

That's not assburgery.

These guys are just big bullies, Habbaku.  Don't let 11B and the Mean Girl get to you, I don't.

Is that Atlanta game worth getting? Unfamiliar with the series.
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 think the idea of a location in a game actually mapping to a real life location is kind of weird to us Americans.

I am sure Tamas can think of half a dozen different games involving his actual home town being burned down to the ground at some point or another in history...

It's tough for Southerners in America, since they are kind of all alone in that sense...

It isn't out yet.  I think they slated it for summer release this year.

I have terror-bombed Barcelona in a smattering of Spanish Civil War boardgames many a time.

Torched Madrid even more often though!  :ph34r:

Even for my old home area: Played Holstein in EU1 & 2 and Vic2 a fair amount of times. Itzehoe is the capital of Holstein in CK2. My Mom's birth place of Deutsch-Krone (now Walcz) was in Vicky. Not to mention any Hansa based game with Lübeck/Hamburg as a focus (as early as 1980s Hanse). It was real fun in Darklands. Or playing the Saxons in a Rome:TW game.

I was miffed by the myriad spelling mistakes in Modern Campaigns: North German Plain. When I offered to correct them I was brushed off because "the names were taken from high detail NATO maps." Never mind that I could tell where the folding edges were based on the predictable typos. :P
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

It must be a total riot to play WWII boardgames if you're born in Volgograd.  :hmm:

I'm happy with me as I am, and there's nothing you can say that will change that.
