The "Air War" of tank games.

My God, let's hope not.  :bleeding:

I mean, MBT/IDF is user-friendly enough.  I don't think GMT would make that kind of mistake in today's gaming market.

I think the designer talks a little about the new Panzer here.

Well, I guess if people don't like it and want an alternative, they can always play Combat Commander.  You know, the "tactical WW2 combat game" without vehicles at all.   :lol: OMG INFANTRY ZERG RUSH KEKEKEKEKE

kingdom of Heaven starts shipping Monday.  :yeah:
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.

The only thing that drives me nuts about MMP is how they wait for weeks before they ship to wholesalers. :bleeding:

RPS reviews the reprint of Fortress America:

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/06/24/cardboard-children-fortress-america/

It also sums up my feelings about America when I was a kid:

QuoteSee, when I was young, America was this big scary glamorous place that would fuck you up if you looked at it the wrong way. America existed in my head as a creature with Stallone's muscles, an eagle's head, Ronald Reagan's voice and a rocket launcher. In the 1980s, American culture fed me the idea that the USA was built on solid foundations of kissing beautiful girls, driving shit hot cars, shooting anyone who wasn't American, putting lasers in space and playing some pretty sweet rawk guitar. Now all of this is BAD, sure, and it was a LIE too. But for an 8 year old boy in Glasgow it was certainly cool. Every kid wanted to be an American in the 80s. Fact. These days America is just a confused skinny dude with horn-rimmed glasses trying to decide what to do with a bible.

Exchange Glasgow with a small town in North Germany, and it's spot on. :blush:

Sword of Rome was on sale at my local store so I bought it. Mostly because I like the time period, I have no real plans right now to play it. Is it any good?

Hmmm, good question--Habs might know.  But I know there's an expansion kit available, so you may want to score that, just to feel OCD complete.

This said it included the 5-player expansion (second printing and all).

Having a mounted board was nice, didn't expect that (until I picked up the box).

CSW is going slower than old people fuck, so I can't even check to see what I missed.
