Just curious to see what everyone has added to their collections lately. I just picked up a copy of Ambush! on E-bay for $38 unpunched/unused, also picked up a copy of RAF solitaire for $11. Also have a copy of Beyond Valor 3rd Ed. INCOMING! for $105 from MMP :( I've been keeping an eye out for a copy of ASLRB 2nd Ed. as well. Enough about me, what have you been up to?
Twilight Struggle, Down In Flames, Elusive Victory, Eagles of the Empire: Eylau, Up Front, Ambush/Battle Hymn + 4 expansions, ... what'd I miss? Oh yeah, some more WoW mini's....
Recently got PQ-17 and A Victory Denied. Haven't gotten either one on the table for playtime yet, but we have the AVD map in a frame with the pieces ready to go. Guess I'd better read that rulebook first!
I have ordered nothing, and I own no games. The reason for this, is I am in an unfortunate position of not having anyone to play against. I do not know a single person into wargaming.
Many years ago I owned alot of strategy games, most of which i never played due to lack of opponents. I did of course play them on my own, but it is just not the same.
So guys, if you have a gaming group, or some opponents, consider yourself lucky!!
Most recently, bought A Victory Denied and two copies of Space Hulk 3e. Also picked up a copy of the 1st and 2nd editions of Hulk to go along with Space crusade. I can't really be bothered with trying to play too many of the new releases, sticking to basic systems and subject matter that I can get through in a gaming day easily enough.
A lot of pre-orders finally got filled in the past few weeks. Lemmesee...got GMT'S A VICTORY DENIED and ELUSIVE VICTORY. Legion Wargame's ICI, C'EST LA FRANCE. Avalanche came through with FRANCE: 1940 (Panzergrenadier series). Mark Walker's reprint and upgrade (2nd Ed) LOCK N' LOAD: BAND OF HEROES arrived with Columbia's RICHARD III block game on the War of the Roses. Best of all, MMP's latest OPERATIONS special edition arrived with a Carentan game for PANZERBLITZ: HILL OF DEATH (at last! Americans!). And a nifty little game on the CRUSADER battles in North Africa called BRAVERY IN THE SAND or BITS! Don't yet know how it compares to Walker's TOTENSONNTAG.
Of course, it took me less than two seconds to make a decision to order this, and no more than 60 seconds to get the website, plop down the PayPal payment, and complete the order! WOW!
I remember when GMT redid FOR THE PEOPLE, one of the last Avalon Hill games, and rescued it. Some tweaks and improvements since, too. I bet L2 holds off on PANZERGRUPPE GUDERIAN until the shine wears off on MMP's latest IGS offering, A VICTORY DEN...
