Hungarian crusades move very slowly.
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.

So I celebrated my salary-raise with a rampage of game purchases.

The dust was settling, I decide to have only 3 remaining on my list:
-Pax Prolifiarana or something, the cardgame version of Lords of Sierra Madre (looks awesome)
-Merchant of Venus new edition
-Colonial

Then Rockpapershotgun does a review of the X-Wing miniatures game.

lol, gimme a break, I'm working on it.  I send no turn before its time, especially when I'm muddling through it the first time.   :P 

Besides, you fill out these online job applications all goddamned day and evening, and see how much you want to sit in front of the computer.

That one actually looks pretty sweet and I have friends who would be willing to try that. But it looks like a money pit with every extra ship costing extra.

It is, especially if you want to build a proper squadron, and that's not counting the specialty ships.

I may dig out West End Games' Star Warriors instead, but it was kinda slow to play . . .  :hmm:

BTW, in the Pax Prolifiriaanana game, you can do a strawman play to generate outrage.

I am SO organizing a Languish game if there ever be a VASSAL set

Sadly, this is both a sale I barely qualify for (I have only pre-ordered Saints in Armor out of the games on the qualifying list) and only kinda want a single game that would qualify (Crown of Roses).

Labyrinth and/or Washington's War any good?
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
