Yeah, she's still at work.


And that is the ole Flea Flicker. Doesn't always end well, but sure fun to watch.

I have to settle first in an stable place where I can have the box & manuals delivered. I wish I could get the digital download right now and buy the manuals later...

If I don't own the board WiF, so I guess it doesn't make any sense to get the maps too. Can you buy the counters from ADG without the maps?

Yes, I did this a few years back.

Status: offline 		I am normally very sensible but have broken my own rule about computer wargames this year. I bought too many - at least two of which I will not - or am unlikely to - ever play. Wasted money....

For that reason I briefly considered holding off on MWIF to see what the reviews are like, wait for a couple of patches etc etc.

But having waited all this time, and loving the board game soooo much, I just can't do that. I can't..... Besides I want to support Steve for all the effort he has put in over the years to bring this baby home.

So, right or wrong I will go for it. Besides, forgetting the game for a minute, I must have those maps (even though I have nowhere for them) and I have to have those gorgeous looking manuals on my book shelf.

I will be there tomorrow ordering the game the minute I get home.

I figure I need to relearn the game and what better way than to play against yourself and learn the ins and outs of the game along with the strategies you like best for each major country. So when the AI does get released, I should have the game mechanics and strategies figured out. I do have a friend close by that plans on picking it up too. He comes over weekly for gaming so I can see us playing the heck out of this over the coming winter.

Status: offline 		OT but I have a friend that went on a construction job last year for 3 months to Idaho. He fell in love with the place and the people. Said every day at least 2 other workers at the site invited him to their home for dinner with their family. Said many of the construction workers took off most of the early winter to act as game guides.

They really left a good impression on him that it reminded him of Southern comfort, minus the drawl. He will be back for vacation next summer with the family and I've been looking at doing the same after my trip to la.

Again, he was very impressed with the hospitality of the locals.

Oh, and I measured, the room - that map is not gonna fit on the wall after all.(8'ceiling,wall 15') Plus I could not have any furniture on that side of the room and would need a step stool to study Europe since it's up at the top. Will still buy the maps anyway, just must have it.

Status: offline 		For me, buying this is not a question of money but of time. I have expanded my computer collection of wargames considerably over the last year and a half and haven't had the time to play them all as much as I'd like to or give them the attention they deserve. I've been working hard on completing a major creative project for another game I love playing and have only had time to play two of the 'Command Ops: Battles for Greece' scenarios to date and there will be a further module with Crete/North Africa battles to fight early next year.

I have recently picked up 'Flashpoint Campaigns' which is another time sink. Then there are the AGEOD games which I'm getting into and loving, not to mention HOI3 as well. If I have to spend over $100 bucks to get this, I will have to devote enough time to play the game to justify the expenditure to myself and that means not so much time on my other games. I used to collect games when I was younger as well but I'd rather play them nowadays so collecting is not a good enough reason. Old dog definitely learning new tricks :D

edit to add: posted in reply to Numdydar in error. I really should click the reply to thread button in the future.

Sitting at GMT+1 waiting for the "BUY!" button to work.

Oh, and getting no work done in the office


Seriously, I have been waiting for this since Marinacci started his doomed project. So if any game ever can be described as "long over due" it is this.
I will round up my 5-player crew from oblivion and order them to the front! (Well, we'll have to count the next months as training camp awaiting the full multiplayer capability but still

I will have to make up some excuse at home for buying an extra screen for this. Maybe blame it on work... Or maybe explaing to the missus that I have been WAITING FOR THIS FOR 20 BLOODY YEARS!

I think I will wait for a week, to get the first reviews, if my hands can hold. I heard some people are complaining it s not very friendly to handle the units. But maybe interested comments of detractors. I will wait and see whta people say, if it is not too bad or if it is false at all...

Jose what kind of deal did you have to cut with CiC to get approval?


Nothing, she likes to spend, like most women, so I am a little bit grumpy about that, this way:

- She realizes she is buying a little bit too much.

- She realizes I almost dont buy anything not really needed. I am more or less spartan except for food. So she accepts sometimes I may have a fancy and I am still far behind.

- She is deligted that I spend in "unnecessary" items sometimes, because it makes her feel better about what she buys and freer for future buys. In fact, she sometimes encourages me to buy games or an ebook, like the new kindle I bought these days too.

So be prepared..better forewarned than a nasty surprise.

Thinking about it should you get charged by Customs when you've already paid VAT on the item..?

To be exact, they say the custom charges for taxes, ..., on the books can vary very much between countries and that "... our research would seem to indicate that duty, sales or VAT charge from your authorities, if levied, should be no more than $20 per package. This of course can vary dependent on taxation and levy rates in each country."

So 20$ would be the maximum, in case there was any payment.
