Ah, this is where a tradition for the tiny-tiny buttons in PC WITP came from


I swear someday I'm gonna pluck those out and replace them with something easier to see....like detonator plungers.

Somehow I don't think tweezers will replace mice as an input device.

I used tweezers for Terrible Swift Sword back in the day.

It's a monster, but I always thought it represented an excellent set of compromises between playability and realism. Its way of telescoping time to allow both for broad naval movements and weeks of inaction AND blow-by-blow naval action was unique.

Here is a picture of CoachZuck and I about to start a game many years ago. We started a few times, but never finished.

I remember when I was in High School, my mother was going into NYC for the day and I asked her to go to SPI and buy the game for me. She said that when she asked for it, they told her that it was a very complicated game and she replied that her son is very smart. Not sure who was right in this case...





That's an awesome pic!

Check out this image from BGG on a SPI WITP boardgame set up...

If we all could only have such a control centre.

For all the rest of us. Holy crap, what an effort.
