Put my order in for Panzer..... <_<

:lol:  I ordered it and Andean Abyss today as well.



Oooh, I forgot to tell you: scored unpunched, mint copies of AH's Submarine and GDW's Road To The Rhine for $18 each.  Pristine copies. 

Let's hear it for estate sales.

Not that any of you lazy gits care, but I have been testing this on my own.

What a game this could have been! CDG, multiplayer, interesting not well-covered era, rich historical flavour, distinctivly different player countries, good detail in combat via unit types.
It has all that, but the badly written rules slow it down to almost monster game speed, while it certainly is not a monster. It's not that the rules are incomplete or bad, but somehow they manage to hide important stuff pretty well. I think most of it is the translation from German.

I STILL would like a PBEM game :P I think I have covered enough of it to spot if anyone else would be making a serious rule mistake, but I can't really recommend it to be bought for F2F gaming, unless you know a guy who already has experience in it.

I'm up for a PBEM game. Is it on CB? Where can the rules/pictures be found?

you can find the living rules and CB module here:

living rules: http://www.ugg.de/bg/AW/AWRules.pdf

CB module: http://www.ugg.de/bg/AW/Grafic/AWcyber.zip

What is missing is the scenarios information, and a pretty useful 2-pages summary of charts and stuff, which I can provide if we have enough people, of course.

Got the rules to Panzer off GMT's site. Very familar considering how long ago I played MBT/IDF. I played those two quite a bit along with GDW's Assault series.

and yes reading those rules started an itch. You know the kind. I have ordered MBT and IDF from noble Knight  <_< . They will be in my possession again.

:lol:  Only thing worse than a crackhead is a recidivist crackhead.

They aren't too expensive, are they? They were some of the last mass-printed titles from AH's own shop.  Should be tons of copies around.

No, they're not;  frigging outrageous for that whole set.

$85 for IDF?  What the fuck, did it come shrink wrapped in Siegy's foreskin?  Damn.

Anybody familiar with the Vae Victus games GMT distributes here in the states? Aspern-Essling looks interesting, but I just don't know.

And before somebody says buy them while over there, it is still more expensive than getting them through a US retailer.

Bored tonight. Farting around with a revised OOB of Bloodbath at Kursk.
