VC II (DAMMIT SEEDY)

Junkies always blame their pimps.  I DIDNT PUT THAT PIPE IN YOUR DICE TOWER

Wooties!  FedEx Fairy arrived!

Christ, Strike of The Eagle is fucking heavy.  Knew it was a block game;  didn't know it was cinder blocks.

 :D  It's an excellent production, all around.  The map takes some getting used to because of how muddy everything is, though, but it does its job.
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, the map looks kinda like what would happen if you took a color satellite photograph of the Ardennes and used it as an overlay for Candyland.

Also, for any of you guys that missed the Grand Tactical Series with Devil's Cauldron and Where Eagles Dare[/i], No Question of Surrender is a great one-mapper of the system. 

I mean, c'mon;  Rommel's boys and everyone's favorite comic sidekicks, the Italians, versus The Fucking French Fucking Foreign Fucking Legion, man.  Doesn't get much cooler than that.

Berkut

I dunno, pretty much anything NOT involving the French and Italians would be cooler than that.

Think of it as a competitive Division I-A match-up.

I just did you one better, Daddyo.  Just scored an unpunched mint copy of Tactics II for $20.

And she will be punched.  Oh yes, she will be punched.

It isn't right to clip your counters until the counters grow old enough to make their own decision on the matter.
