Fucking customs. A 50% surcharge, really?

More from MMP?  Hope you at least got Black Sunday.

I'm waiting for my "Unemployment Special" 2 freebies from GMT.  Nice guys.  Figured "Nightfighter" and "PQ-17" looked interesting enough.

Never knew Tony C was a 17 year vet for a brokerage firm before he decided to save what was left of his soul, and got the fuck out.

I hit Worthington's sale. Decided hold the line and the Sicily game needed a new home.

Is the Blue vs. Grey card game 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.

Easily one of the best Civil War strategy games of all time, yes.
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.

Damn that's some faint praise.

Friday after thanksgiving, I will be playing Avalanche's Midway. I will command the Nips. My slightly retarded friend will be the treacherous Yankees.

BANZAI!

Forgot to give the results:

Yorktown: sunk
Hornet: sunk
Enterprise: withdrawing, damaged

Akagi: 1 bomb hit
Kaga: fine and dandy
Hiryu: sank
Soryu: badly damaged

Midway: taken. BANZAI!

From the Art Dept. . .

All 200 cards have been revised by me (for the 3rd time) and are with Rich and team for FINAL review. To my knowledge, we are just missing two pictures for cards and hopefully all other cosmetic and game related information is finished on them. The cards are the most time conusming part of the production spiral (6-8 week lead time), so when I receive the proofs back from Rich, I will immediately make any rev's needed and shoot them off to printer toot suite (sweet?).

Box is ready for printer. Rich is working on rules and charts and I will "graphasize" and send to printer (usually 1-2 weeks production time). So we can send these to printer while cards are being produced and collated.

Believe me, we are moving this along as fast as possible before Ed pops a vein!

We ask for your patience just a while longer - you will be rewarded with a wonderful game.

Think of it this way:  you're actually living through the length of Napoleonic Wars waiting for it.  So it's sorta appropriate, I guess..
