I'm sure it'll take a week to do a turn. Berk would blow his stack playing that.

Berkut requires a turn every 20 minutes.  You think I'm kidding.

Which is funny, because he's really been dragging ass in our HIS game.
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.

It suddenly got a lot less interesting.

Is that why you made your play before it was your turn?

Too bad he and I don't live near each other, then--he'd probably like my style of play.  I've done Fire in the East turns less than that.  Can't do the surprise turn that fast, but Europa games can play surprisingly quickly if you know the rules and have a solid plan for what you want to do.

Is that the old Jack Radey game? If so, I'll pray for the players.

Spot on. Korsun Pocket
I used to have that one.  The smaller scenarios were playable, but the larger ones... No only did you have massive counter density, but you moved supply (used by artillery only, IIRC), one supply point at a time.  Used to get ten-SP chits lost in stacks all the time.  :lol:

Great design, but not for that scale.  Black Sea, Black Death was a much better game.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

The density looks rather excessive. I managed to pick up PWG Duel for Kharkov and Gazala for a descent price on a whim. I understand PRP has got a remake of PWG's Korsun in the works.

Could the Northeastern Americans remind me again where - online or not - they buy their boardgames?

Thanks.  :)

If I don't order them directly from the game companies themselves, I prefer www.coolstuffinc.com

Victoria's Cross II arrived today.  Finally.

I think I'll solo some of it out.  I'm in the mood for bayoneting negros for Her Majesty.

That guy is almost as big a tool as "The Preacher."

I tread lightly on CSW.  Man, they're more sensitive than the Islamic boards.
