But my real gift this year was being healed of spinal stenosis. Difficult to enjoy games with that.

Merry Christmas!

a) Merry Xmas to you and yours Warspite
b) Sadly no. Expected loot is socks, boxers, Captain Morgan Spiced x2, the new Adele CD.
c) A book about Hitlers muslim warriors. Interesting read about something I've not read much about earlier.

Wow!! that's good news. I know I suffer from it(not severe) but broke a vertebrae in the same area in a fall 2yrs, 3months ago. Still hoping for and fighting for an operation through workers comp.

Have to ask, though how were you cured? I didn't know that was possible! Was it severe? And did you need an operation?

Probably DC: Barbarossa, I think. Panzer Battles: Kursk is exceptional, too; easily Tiller's best format to date. Might well treat myself to the new Normandy game at some point over the festive period.

Great to see you again warspite. I have been very busy lately and so I have not visited this forum ... or any other ... very often.

Yes, A very Merry Christmas and Holiday season to all.

Recently bought Battle of the Bulge on sale. Not a bad $10 game. A decent change of pace from more complicated games. I am considering something more challenging though. I am looking at the new Tiller game, Battles of Normandy. Looks pretty interesting. Too bad we did not get to have a TOAW Christmas

Status: offline 		Merry Christmas guys and a Happy New Year filled with good things... especially good health!

It will just be me and the dogs in the desert with howling winds and hopefully three inches of snow come morning. Bought a turkey and the dogs and I will have a feast :)

Best purchase? A new power inverter after mine blew up last month. Will be paying my daughter back for it for awhile so there goes the game budget for the foreseeable future. I had really hoped to get MWiF this Christmas, but there is always next year if I survive the winter. I've been sick for the last month with chronic lung congestion plus some strained muscles from cutting firewood. My dogs are keeping me nice and warm though, even when the fire has died and the house is at 50 degrees. My big Retriever is always sprawled on top of me by dawn, I wake with my face buried in his fur. Blaze and Ember are curled up at my feet. I'm surviving and comfortable so far. Had a bought of extreme temps that froze and burst some pipes but I got that fixed and water restored. The new Outback Inverter has finally solved my power problems and I'm ready to face a January with three weeks of extended rain and cloudy weather predicted (got that bad news a little while ago). Still, after a year of major problems my ranch is 100% operational at the moment, well stocked with food for me and the critters and I'm ready to ride out the winter!

Hopefully there will still be some sun so that I can run the computer without expending a lot of expensive propane running the generator to charge up the batteries.

So, after all that whining, best of luck to everyone and let's resolve to be here next Christmas eve... happy and healthy

Usually get a couple of books based on Military History, will know later on today if that continues

Edit got three books: Anthony Beevor D-Day The Battle for Normandy, Leo Barron Patton at the battle of the bulge and John C McManus September Hope

c) What have been the best purchases in any of those categories this year?

2 Books really enjoyed from last Christmas: With the Old Breed and Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors. Just bought a bunch of games from Matrix and based on the manual I think I will be spending a fair amount of time with DC Barbarossa this coming year
