Yes, I've ordered from CSI several times.  They're top-notch.  The bonus for getting an account with them is that you also accrue a discount over time on all orders.  Worth building up some loyalty points with them if you find their prices are good.
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.

Cool, thanks!
I'm having it delivered within the US as I will be there in December, shipping to Europe and the customs surcharge would double the price. :(

Mulling over which game to choose as the second of my 50% off picks in the GMT sale (the first is No Retreat Italy).

Triumph and Tragedy looks really cool, but I'm afraid I won't get to play it much.
Maybe something more solo friendly, like that Dambusters game or the WW1 dual pack?

Supposed to be shipping next week.  I'm pretty eager.

Me and my friends are looking for a quick timewaster. We have done Race for the Galaxy, Legendary, Ascension, 7 Wonders... we liked all those games, but we feel they have run their course with us and we are looking for something fresh. Any advice?

Just any topic, quick to play and requiring little brain capacity?

Bang: The Dice Game
Evolution
King of Tokyo

T&T has become very popular in my wargamer circles. It is a good game, only downside is time, usally around 5 hours which some may feel is a bit much for such a "light" game.

I went with Pax Romana as my second pick. Haven't got any ancient world games and it looks like it's possible to solo it.

I want to recommend Waterloo 1815: Fallen Eagles by Hexasim but distributed via GMT now to you yanks.

https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/163172/waterloo-1815-fallen-eagles

The topic has never been very appealing to me, but this game actually changed that. It's just a damn fine entertaining wargame: rules kept simple in just the right places, great graphics, luxury counters, just enough historical flavour... Napoleonic grand tactics for those who are not autistic enough to play La Bataille but are satisfied with believable outcomes. Exciting game engine too, both sides take turns activating one formation at a time, with random turn length (when EoT number has been exceeded twice so you have a heads up). Deserves more players, honestly.

Ordered it too!

Tried to learn the rules using the VASSAL module in the meantime. Seems like a highly interactive confrontational game as mentioned by the "tutorial" video up on BGG.

Maybe the old Virgin Queen crowd would be interested in a PBEM? Assuming you and Berkut actually still send out moves.

Hey, I've been very good with my PBEM games! Well, not VERY good, because this new job doesn't really let me do turns during the day.

Habs however, has been terrible, but he has a damn good reason.

This has been described by some play-testers as "War of the Ring for the Star Wars universe."  Needless to say, my pants are a dairy factory.
