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 I am waiting on your TK turn.

Games sometimes don't work out. Shit happens. I've completed more games with languish people than anyone. Bite me.

Besides, No Retreat sucks. I was doing you a favor bailing on that game.

Designer's a mega-douche.

I dunno, man...there's only so many ways you can redesign the East Front.  AH's The Russian Campaign has lasted as long as it has for a reason.

Twice, shorter scenarios, plus a bunch of solo learning games of the campaign. I know a good system when I see one.

I thought the system was pretty cool, but I didn't think the scenario itself was very good - seemed pretty scripted.

Although I had another local person who I game with who played it several times say it was actually really good, so I am debating giving it another try.

Habs is right about the designer though. He is a bit of a tool.

Will there be anything spectacular featured on this years Essen Spiel which if I won't pick up, will not be considered a proper boardgamer?

Anyone try Supreme Commander?
