Well, Gene said in October that it was contingent on the proper functionality of their new ordering system and that, per the most recent update, has been pushed to January so I'll say we get one in February.

Because I like sales.

Thought about doing it.  Still have 2nd Edition and only played it once.  Since I only plan on doing it solo, I'll just stick to 2nd methinks.

Thought about it too, but not for $63.  :-[

I've had my eye on "The Barbarossa Campaign" for some time but even at the now discounted price of $48+shipping, it's just way too much for a game with an 11x25 paper map and less than 300 counters.

Game Matz End of Year sale. 20% off everything to Jan. 2, 2017.

Code: 2016

It may be time to cave and get one of these. Hmm, hexes or no?

Just ordered a 4'x8' one for my new gaming table.... this will force me to actually finish the table.  :nerd:

That's the size I'm think about. Did you add hexes to it? I'm looking at a space version.

No, I didn't get one of the terrain maps... I agonized over the decision for moths on which one of the grassland ones to get then I found this one:



I'm a sucker for old maps and this will look great as a table surface, once my table is stained dark walnut.

I figured I mostly board game/card game anyway and if I want terrain I'll just make some up with green or blue or black felt.

Just got my shipping notice! It'll be in my box tomorrow... but I'm 4000 odd miles from that box and won't get there until Jan. 15.... oh well back to beer and sun until then...  :coolsmiley:

Just received mine as well! The only problem is my wife will be going with me to pick up packages tomorrow. I can see the eyes rolling now.  :buck2:

Yeah... still waiting for my wife to see the charge card bill...

"Fancy surface for my new game table."

Not a "boardgame", but CSI currently has the Star War: Force and Destiny RPG core book at HALF OFF.

The Beginner kit is also on sale (and comes with one set of the dice).


I also posted this in the RPG thread for the Star Wars rpgs.  There is no "Sale Thread" down there, however.

I saw that the Sons of Anarchy Board Game is only $13.49 on Amazon right now.

The expansions are also about 25% off (coming in at about $13.50 each instead of $19.99).
