Yeah it's better to just go with wings of glory.  :)

Armada > I've heard it's being discontinued. It's another Star Wars rabbit hole I don't need to go down.

Sails of Glory > I've thought about it a time or two, but I'm not that much into that kind of thing.

I did, however, sell off some stuff and turned around and...



I wanted to get Fallout but Mice and Mystics was a surprise.

I've seen Fallout for $100+ and then lately, $60 or so locally. The place I bought this is selling them for $47. (Amazon has it for $100 right now, lol. Should have bought a few more and sold them myself.)

M&M I've seen for ridiculous prices. One place wanted $74, which is a lot less than I've seen it priced at online. The same place selling Fallout for super cheap was selling it for $53.

Done and done. :)

Edit: YES NOT WARGAMES, I know.

I need to put in an order from some GMT counter trays.   The danger of course is some game ends up in the cart at the same time.

I managed to get a copy of 'Rommel's War' by L2 Design. Should be here next week.

Been rumours about Armada being discontinued for almost 2 years now.  Even if it is, there's enough there now to make it replayable for a long, long time.  Besides, the Star Destroyer minis are awesome!

I have a ton of those counter trays for various games but I've discovered something that I think is better for larger wargames. Craft trays from Walmart https://www.walmart.com/ip/Organizer-No-Spill-32Comp-13-7X8-6X1-Clear/22027056. Something like Red Winter or other games with lower unit counts are great for the GMT trays but when you get into monster war games like Case Blue or Last Blitzkrieg, I found the Walmart trays to be superior. Last Blitzkrieg fits in 2 trays, one for each side. Each division has it's own compartment and I even taped a picture of the division patch to each one. I threw all the step counters in a big ziplock bag.
All my ASL stuff fits in about 8 trays. How many GMT trays would that be?

The only downside is that they generally don't fit in the games box. How often are you going to travel with monster games anyway?

I'm going to go with something similar for combat commander and ASL once I get around to dealing with sorting that beast.  I really want the trays for games were lower counter counts like Wilderness War, Normandy 44, ect...

You can get a Plano 3701 (slim case - better for digging out counters) for about the same price and the lid will lock iron shut. You also get 2 more partitions (34) than this one.

^I'm finding those trays are far superior to anything I've used in the past.  The only caveat is that they may not fit all game boxes perfectly.  I'm finding that I have about a quarter of an inch overflow when I try to put the game box cover on. 

Michael's Crafts is also another great place to find these trays.

Received this yesterday afternoon. I'm hoping I like it so I can back the Pacific expansion next year.

Oh, you'll like it. It's a lot of fun. If you played the modern version you'll find this one superior. At least, IMO I think.

Just for a change, I'm spoilt for choice. I have a copy of long-lusted-after 'Rommel's War' by L2 Design and 'Liberty Roads' from Hexasim, still in the shrink, and sister game 'Victory Roads' on its way and due maybe tomorrow.

Amd I am so very jealous.
