Hope you find some fun in it. I am...nonplussed that they seem to have used the 1989 OOB for the game.  :D
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.

Eh, I've been with this basic system since it started with PC.
"there's a long tradition of insulting people we disagree with here, and I'll be damned if I listen to your entreaties otherwise."-OVB

"Obviously not a Berkut-commanded armored column.  They're not all brewing."- CdM

"We've reached one of our phase lines after the firefight and it smells bad—meaning it's a little bit suspicious... Could be an amb—".

It's probably going to be awful and horribly broken and suck terribly and be a huge disappointment and make me gnash my teeth in frustration, but I can't help but anticipate Imperial Struggle more than any game I have in a good, long time. Everything about it looks great and a readthrough of the rules has me wondering when I get a shipping notification already dammit.

It's been a long wait, so yeah it better deliver. I wonder how badly broken the game was during testing for it to take so long.
With record P500 numbers I'm sure they got all the help from GMT they needed.

Cole Wehrle talking about the new edition/updates to John Company. Don't think the changes are set in stone yet, but...

What about the 1919 Versailles game? I am also quite excited about that one.

Definitely interested in that as well, but nowhere near Imperial Struggle.

Though as far as that system goes, I'm more intrigued by Congress of Vienna:

Pre ordered compass games Tank Leader refresh and Bruce Maxwell is refreshing Air & Armor.

I think the Boardgameguru store guy in the UK has been knocked out by Covid-19, I hope it is not serious. :( I can't think of anything else why he would have stopped updating and communicating.

I have my IoG & Hearts and Minds order pending with him for nearly a month now, last site update seem to have been more than a week ago.

I am starting to get the addict's itch especially as I could now grab these two for roughly the same price at another store, but the guy and the store in general has been pretty awesome, so I am going wait for them a bit more.

I would encourage you to cancel your Hearts and Minds order, but you seem dead set on it. I really didn't care for the game's modeling of Vietnam.
