The NEW New Boardgames Thread

Playing the Americans in the fleet games give you an invincibility boner.

I remember my friend spending a huge amount of time figuring out where to move his carrier BG in sixth fleet. Only for me to hit it with a badger and backfire strike.

VAMPIRE VAMPIRE. Lol

CAP not, want not.

Now I want to play AH's Midway.

Hey, you old grogs

I put in a pre-order for http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/94373/dien-bien-phu looked good. Any one have any info on the designer or legion games in general.

[CountDeMoney]

Legion Games stuff has better production value than most people think, but some of their games seem to be put together better than others--I have their Saipan & Tinian game, and it's a nice little production for what you pay for.  FWIW, I recommend that game if you've never done any WW2Pac island-hopping--but Chris Faluso's combat system is better.   

re the designer:  I've got his game on the Algerian War.  It's not hardcore hexes-and-counters; it's area movement-based, but you can get through it solo considering it's got political facets.  From that and the rest of their titles' reputations, Legion Games seems to do a good job on topics you really don't see elsewhere very often. 

I'm waiting on MMP's game on DBP myself, but you probably can't go wrong with this one.  Looks light and fun.  And you can't have too many games in Indochina.

Speaking of MMP, looks like their Salerno game squeeked under the P500 wire in the nick of time.

Thanks. I was looking at GDW Citadel too, but for fucks sake $$$$$. I might take a look at the MMP DBP.

[CountDeMoney]

LOL, Man, some of those GDW titles from back in the day are outrageous, eclipsing most SPI titles.  You don't even want to know what I paid for GDW's Crusader.
And to top it off, it was missing an entire fucking countersheet.

So, some friends of mine have just opened an online shop for customized tokens, bits and pieces for boardgames. In case you are interested, here's their website.

That site will make Hab toss his Eurocookies.

Cubes look kinda neat, though.

NUCLEAR WAR BONER

I was impressed with their Duel of Eagles title.

[CountDeMoney]

Would be more fun if it were computer-based and therefore fahdiz-proof.

[CountDeMoney]

Sweet, got hit by MMP for my Rising Sun preorder.

edit: dammit, just a confirmation.  I really hate their system sometimes.

[Habbaku]

So many games coming in the next couple of weeks/months...

GMT's Rebel Raiders and Won By The Sword, MMP's War of the Suns and Stonewall Jackson's Way, Nuts! Publishing's To The Last Man and, finally, Clash of Arms' Legion of Honour.  Going to be a busy summer.

[CountDeMoney]

Going to be a busy an expensive summer.
