That game sounds like its made for Languish MP, though.
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.

Got my Worthington games package. I stared at the USPS guy through my window, curtains covering my new games boner.

I'll try to run a game when it comes out.  Eventually.
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.

And with the arrival of my MMP stuff, I have fondled all the Black Friday sale stuff. Into the closet they go, maybe to be rediscovered in 5 years.

And with that, this wargame buying fit is over.

It does come in, like, spasms or something, doesn't it? :P You get your fix then you are fine for a few months. Then your hands start to shake on the Paypal buttons again.

Tell me about Andean Abyss, and tell me why I should not buy it while it is in stock in a Hungarian shop.

I am also considering GMing a Star Trek: Fleet Captains Languish game the way we did BSG, since now I have the Romulan expansion... but I would need to figure out how to make it feasible to deal with the not-small-but-fully-random-and-hidden map. I could take a photo of the whole, or make some hexes readable but not both.

Meh.

Meh.

Volko's components are increasingly crossing over into Euro territory.  Soon he'll be including thimbles and top hats.

I'm considering counter clipping. :bleeding:
Tried a few spares using an exacto blade. They turn out somewhat decent, but it's really slow going.
How do you guys go about it?

CountDeMoney

 :lol:  If you have a problem with slow going, you don't want to use my method.

I use a box cutter razor blade to separate the rows from the counter sheets and from each other, an Exacto knife to separate the ones in the counter sheet corners, and once they're all out, I use an emory board to lovingly sand down all the nibs.  One. Counter. At. A. Time.

Yeah, it's pretty fucking anal.
