Can't wait for her review of Next War: Poland.

I couldn't watch any more after she started peppering the game board with Putin pieces. Did they decide the square chits needed to have their corners clipped to fit the hexes better? -- and if so, was there a sped-up montage of that happening?

How she knifed that box did it for me  ???

I know some people that are LARP'ing it.  Does that count? ;D

Yes, I've played it a couple of times, not the full shebang but rather a Baltic scenario we came up based on the RAND article from a couple of years back.

^My guess is that is either a Cosplayer or a model, not a LARPer.  ::)

The follow-up games seem to finally be nearing becoming general availability. From their newsletter:

QuotePutin's Northern War and If Dragons Fight Update

We had hoped to have photos and possibly an unboxing video of the press samples for Putin's Northern War and If Dragons Fight, but unfortunately the printer now says they won't be here until the first week in November. We will send out an update once they arrive with photos of the gaming goodness.
