I like the VQ package that had 6lbs on the packing label. :D

GMT's update from yesterday:

QuoteCharging and Shipping Schedule

Shipping: Since our last update, we have shipped all the P500 orders for the 3rd Printing of Dominant Species, as well as the Update Kits that we offered for that game. Next up for shipping will be Next War: Korea and Red Winter, both shipping later this month.

Charging: On May 24-26, we charged for Next War: Korea, as well as for the new/reprint editions of Ardennes' 44 and Reds, respectively.

Yesterday, June 5, we charged for Red Winter. Due to some short production delays on a few other games and the earlier-than-expected arrival of Andean Abyss, we have decided to hold off a bit on our other previously announced charges, and revise the near-future Charge Schedule to look like this:

June 21: Andean Abyss, Dominant Species Card Game
July 5: Crown of Roses, Panzer
July 19: Bloody April, Panzer Expansions 1 & 2.

Estimated shipping dates:

I was really hoping to see the BfN expansion pack this summer.  :(  Really looking forward to Andean Abyss, though.  Between that and Angola!, your brown person fix should be sated for the year.
The Panzer system, just in time for football season.  :ph34r:

Played a few sessions with guys at work;  fun and mindless.

Definitely mindless, very little fun.

As an aside, I highly recommend Red November as brain toast.

They're shipping to pre-orders now;  people have been receiving their copies already.

Quick question for HIS here (so as not to clutter the VQ thread). Reformation rule says:

QuoteHe adds a +1 die roll modifier to each roll if this attempt was generated by Calvin's Institutes or a Full Bible translation and if this attempt is in the target language zone(s).

Does this mean that you get +2 if both conditions apply, or do both conditions need to apply to get +1?

You cannot have a reformation attempt that is both "generated by Calvin's Institutes" and "generated by...a Full Bible translation."

You get +1 if:

1) The attempt was generated by Calvin's Institute and the attempt is in the target language zone (France); or
2) The attempt was generated by a full Bible translation in a language and the attempt is in that language zone.

Considering you're, what, five feet from their office, I'm surprised you didn't just walk over there.
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.

I asked that once, I believe I was rebuffed for some reason.  Not to mention ordering something from them direct they had in stock took over 10 days to get here once.  :lol:

Next time they ask for volunteers for a mega collating party though, I'm raising my hand.
