My mother plays Catan and my sister and female friends have taken in several games of Battlestar.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Ah, gotcha.  That usually has a steep price attached to it.  Gotta get the Overlord expansion, though.

Honestly, TKG is one of the most gorgeously produced games I've ever seen.  Ittsa bootiful ting.

So I preordered all 3 MBT titles, the West Front Panzer expansion, and have some other items coming.

It all goes into the storage unit, a Walter White pallet of wargames.  HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH

Earl Van Dorn boner.

Looks like VG's Civil War.  OHWAIT

QuotePlayers of Eric Lee Smith's The Civil War (VG) and Mark Herman's For the People (AH and GMT)  will see many similarities between this game and those two benchmark games. Those two wonderful games inspired many of the rules and concepts used in this game.

That's one of Jimmy D's rules of wargame design. Plagiarism.

GMT Games:  "If it can fit in a box, we'll publish it!"

And whatever happened to the Herman/Berg "it'll have more leaders than you thought were even in the Civil War" divisional-level monster ACW collaboration that was hinted to years ago, anyway?

Habbaku

That one seems about as dead as Berg's last few brain-cells and Herman's humility.
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.

I enjoyed the recent bitch session on Consimworld about Berg.  :)
