Treated myself to Acquire. Paid way less than the price of Cthulhu Wars.

Yes they do.

On the "What games are you looking for?" suggestion, I vaguely remember Uba talking about how she didn't want the whole front page of the forum to be dominated by "What X are you Xing?" stuff, even though those do tend to be the most active because of their broad focus. But if you guys think that kind of thing would be especially useful, I'd pitch it to her and see what she says.

God's sake man, please tell me that the Grandes are still slightly larger cubes and not slightly larger meeples...PLEASE TELL ME THIS.

It's almost as bad as if they replaced all the typography in the game with Comic Sans!

One thread would be perfect, with everyone just posting into it so the front page has only one post.

I'm trying to decide what to get with my GMT $10 gift card. My number 1 choice would be Triumph and Tragedy which is the 2015 Game of the Year. But I have to wait for the 2nd edition with the mounted board. Second choice would be Cuba Libra but it's out of print also. So I think I'll finally upgrade my Twilight Struggle.

Thanks to a tax refund the government is funding my invasion of Normandie.

You selling that old copy?

Just ordered Shadows Over Normandie from Amazon for $53 total. Out of curiousity I took a look at the kickstarter page for it... granted that version came with a lot of extra stuff, but it was approximately $101 plus shipping. No thanks.

Got this behemoth today....I may need a bigger table.

Sold! Now I need to get up to Mittwoch to pay you. An excuse to have dinner with my daughter in Towson.
