WOOT! Got my copy of Tactics II today!

Since I'm not going to be doing much for the foreseeable future, I think I just might grace Languish with a Tactics II AAR.


I believe it when i see it <_<

:lol:  It's Tactics II.  Only an AAR of checkers would be less interesting.

Kind of curious about that myself.

I don't think there's a "Execute Gay Polish Lawyer Bloc" card to play, though.

I would shoot myself if I was still an ASL fan. The glacial pace they release content would make me insane.

I don't really have the time to commit to it or the patience to learn the tactical nuances, but I don't think the OOP problem is the key bottleneck. 

The rule Book, the East Front module and the UK core module are all in print - so that gives Germans, Soviets and the UK which is plenty to work with.  Plus you can get all sorts of other counters and scenarios from the starter kits, which they seem to be committing to keep in print on somewhat regular basis.  Plus they are constantly releasing new scenarios and boards in those add-on packs.  If you really want to play Pacific or French-Italian skirmishes you are out of look or spending high on ebay but there is still a lot to do with what's out.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Oh yeah, if you're solely an East Front fan, you have everything needed available to you with current ASL production.

I'm sure there's a CATaphract joke in there somewhere, but I can't find it.

I went for a punched copy a few months back. Depends, you a player or collector?
