...uh, not yet.

It's tempting. All of the Tide of Iron games there are about $400 with shipping normally; this sale with shipping would be $165.

I'm thinking of asking for this to be my Christmas present but I probably should just try the 2nd ed core set and not all of it.

Man, that is hard to pass up at those prices.

It's moot really for me...I don't have the money, especially not after that order.

I don't really either, but it's so tempting...

Yeah it is. I'm behind on my son's tuition though...hell, he can get a GED right, even though it's his senior year?  >:D

Never owned any of the Tide of Iron games...I remember the first edition at one of the conventions I was at in the mid-2000s; it was one of those giant box games. This second edition looks much more compact and I really like the expansions I'm seeing.

I ended up punting on it due to the shipping and exchange rates.  I know a store here has the 2nd ed base game and one expansion.  They're having a Black Friday sale next week.  If it's still on the shelf when I get there after work, I'll pick it up.

VPG has a 10% off sale on it's own offering via Amazon.


Not a terribly big sale, but figured I'd mention it since some of us have Prime & don't pay extra for shipping.

Man, if only someone had published a review of the game on the front page of our site!

Well I do have a US address for shipping stuff within the US... but someone would actually have to ship me something to know that.....  :-"
