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.

Yeah saw it on the website when was researching Armada and X-wing.

Holy fuck, I want this.

I even would be willing to learn to use Vassal for this.

I played the hell out of the original videogame in the 90s. Heck, we used to hotseat it with the very same friends I now play boardgames every weekend, 20 years later. It's going to be awesome.

The FFG website has a lot of extra information as well, definitely worth looking over:

Don't be gay.  Those toys aren't even to scale.

Some of the models for X-Wing are ridiculous.

WARNING: EUROGAMING POST INCOMING.

Yesterday I played my first game of Puerto Rico with the kids; my, what a complex game!
But after a couple of rounds spent trying to grasp the rules, the game flows quite smoothly, and in the end it's really enjoyable. My daughter won by one VP, by the way 
We sure made a lot of playing mistakes, but the kids loved it, so we'll give it another spin in a couple weeks for sure.

I like Puerto Rico, but we play it seldomly. All those chance-less eurogames sometimes feel like playing chess. 

We've finished our Imperial Assault campaign right in time for the release of Force Awakens. I won, but it was really close. Given that most reviews claim that the game is unbalanced in favor of the Imperial player, that means I probably suck at it

I got two games today:

Tornio '44, because many of my ancestors lived in that area and it rarely features in games.

Gathering Storm, for completeness, I played Advanced Third Reich in the 90s and I own both editions of A World At War.

Advanced Third Reich

Reich 3.2?

Advanced Third Reich

Reich 3.2?

If you must...

I loved Gathering Storm, although I guess the naval rules aren't that great 20 years later.

Advanced Third Reich was the first hardcore grognard game I ever played.

Nice, I've seen it played although the boys did not seem too impressed...I held a copy in my hand at SF-bokhandeln and wanted to support Mikugames, but in the end walked away, I partly regret it. I hope to be able to try a part of the Finnish Trilogy one day.

Ugh, like you I enjoyed the heck out of A3R, but AWAW is just toooooo much.

If I ever play a grand strategy WW2 game again I think I'll probably try Totaler Krieg. Dai Senso intrigues me.
