Why you'd watch Calendale though is beyond me.  :yuk:

It's not really surprising I guess but the guy seems to be in a downward spiral gathering pace.

Christ! Eight months into 2020 and I've bought 57 games.  :cry:

Anyone will be trying Versailles 1919?

Yep. Still waiting on my copy, but I expect to have it played fairly quickly after arrival.
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.

Playing my second game of Imperial Struggle tonight. Had fun first time, but it was a learning game of a couple of initial turns. Hopefully this one will go further, unless either of us blunder to hard early on...

Picked up a copy of The Hunters. Fun game, brings out a bit of that Das Boot feeling.
The second attempt, that is. The first one, getting sunk on the first die roll in September 1939, not so much.

I recently noticed the new crop of Battletech stuff. I've never owned any Battletech, I have played like one game at a friend's house back in 2nd Ed. The giant robots thing has never done much for me, but the books looked nice in the FLGS. :blush: So I got a bunch. I HAVE been thinking about 6mm SF on and off for years, and I really like the amount of detail available in Battletech, even for non-Mech stuff. I'm now reading the books, have finished most of Total Warfare (core game rules), and will start on Techmanual (core construction rules). Anyone play Battletech back in the day? Or now? :)

I got Nemesis (semi-cooperative Alien/Aliens type game). Haven't played it yet, but it looks pretty nice. Some games in the genre have missions/scenarios that you play in some kind of sequence, but here there is only one game scenario, which varies based on room tiles and personal objectives drawn, which is the way I prefer this kind of game.

I'd like to know your take after you play it.  :)

Definitely. It may take a while though with this pandemic BS. :(

I can report though that the components seem nice, all cardboard things were still attached to the frames (good) but still came out very easily (good). The inlays are roomy and you can store everything no problem, including extra space for sleeved cards (I will sleeve my cards). The models are nice, especially the monsters (I like plastic figures in my boardgames, but I know some people don't...).
