Meanwhile, soon-to-come from MMP :

http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/25900/kingdom-of-heaven-the-crusader-states-1097-1291-ad

Kingdom of Heaven, a CDG covering a wide variety of the wars in the Crusading era ("Nine scenarios cover all the major campaigns of the era, from the First, Second and Third Crusades to the Mongol invasion and the rise of the Mamluk Empire.")



And...

http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/4688/angola

Angola, an awesome game covering the fun segment of the Angolan Civil War.  Cubans and South Africans and tanks, oh, my.  It's a reprint that's got new artwork and incorporates some minor changes, but otherwise remains the same game.  Berkut can stump for this one as well since he's played it.



Both are in production and should be shipping relatively soon.  The pre-order price is still available for both.

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.

Yeah, Rinella's a piece of shit.  I rated the game a '1' with a 'Meh' comment a few days ago.  I was promptly gifted .10 GeekGold for my efforts.  :lol:

Considering how much of a shithole Consimworld and BGG are, I don't blame the man a bit for being grumpy.

Heh, Joe Kuhler's even got a "Rules Lawyer" microbadge.  Heh, like shit like that wouldn't be noticed by him;  and he's called a lying douche for his efforts in calling a duck a duck.

I'm telling you, Languishites don't know the meaning of the term "nasty forum" until they take a spin around CSW or BGG.  Holy fucksticks.  It's worse than academia.

Meanwhile, soon-to-come from MMP :

They do seem to be on schedule to pump out quite a few products in 2012, a few more titles than they've done the last couple years.  The GTS title on the French Foreign Legion is on its way, and I believe the OCS title for Case Yellow should be out this year, as well as their monster on the Sino-Japanese conflict, which should be awesome as balls.

Personally, I have been waiting a couple years for Angola.  I want my fucking Jonas Savimbi counter.

The best part is that most of MMP's stuff looks like it might actually be fun to play.  I have way more stuff on pre-order from them than I do from GMT, for example, including just about everything of the stuff you mentioned.

Legion of Honour is supposed to be out, soonish, too...

I also found a decent player's copy of Flat Top.  The idea of it sounds intriguing, at least.

Yeah, and comparatively actually playable in a sitting or two.  Surprisingly for all you smart asses, we've managed to knock out a few drops of Tide at Sunrise and King Philip's War;  Angola is another that can conceivably get knocked out in a night, and it looks like a lot more titles are going that way with them:  digestible and playable in short time frames.

QuoteLegion of Honour is supposed to be out, soonish, too...

I don't know what the hold-up is on that, other than the big dust-up over the cover art last year;  but I know it was of paramount economic importance for Charlie to push Moscowa out the door.

Flat Top is definitely one of the all time greatest carrier games, ever.  Best played with an umpire for orders and combat results, though.  Ratchets up the tension something fucking fierce.

Oh I got the notice that they are going to be charging for Virgin Queen orders.
