PLayed that tonight with Nels. I liked it a lot - the rules are kind of....loose though.

That's when they all pile up, man.  Too many titles being released this year.  You have to pace yourself.

I just ordered No Question of Surrender and Strike of Eagles today.  I have an addiction.  :(

Elaborate.
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.

Strike of Eagles today.

Do you mean Strike of the Eagle, the Polish-Soviet War block game?  If so, that's a good pick, at least from my limited playings (a few scenarios, one of which Berkut was in).

Yeah, typing too fast.  I met Uwe last year and he had emailed me a draft of the rules, but I only now got to it in my batting order.  The mechanics read really well, but I haven't been able to manhandle it. 
Not too thrilled with the map, but that's cosmetic.

Really not enough titles on that fascinating conflict.

Fuck you all. I have decided to not buy any more games until late this year the earliest. I have way too many shit I never played, even with having access to a decent-sized gaming group.

Definitely get Victoria's Cross II.  Best system to bayonet darkies with since 3W's Rorke's Drift.

I'll upload the rules onto dropbox and read them on the can later with my iPad.  :)
