Well, thanks but there is still much to endure I am afraid - and I am the first victim  :coolsmiley:

In the meantime, a great video just came out, and better than anything will explain why I absolutely want to make a box edition for TFA. It is well-done, except for the part that makes us feel old, of course  #:-)

I have always thought that a cross-over between history books and wargames would be interesting. Personally I try to read history books depicting what I currently play in a wargame. History becomes a vehicle to better understand the game and the game becomes more immersive and interesting. And it works the other way around as well, that I understand why history played out the way it did when I come across decisions having to be made in the game and how it plays out.
A boxed set of the game with a manual one part history book and one part manual would be awesome. Sadly in the age of digital distribution it might be a hard sell, but maybe something that can be Kickstarted?
I'm old enough to miss the old days of boxed games with great artwork and the sensation of opening the manual for the first time. Most times on my way home after buying the game and eager to get started - the manual hightened the anticipation of getting into the game.

Never knew I wanted to watch a video on pc packaging.  :)

For our generation, manuals were the  computer game equivalent of foreplay.

I can remember the first time I got to, 'Second Base' with a manual.  :dreamer:

And now foreplay consists of "downloading...downloading...downloading......."

Hot lead and dirty talk!

You guys couldn't get laid even if you were carpet.

If by some small chance you did, (with a WOMAN!) you probably instantly asked her to marry you.

I've laid more skinny manuals on my desk than I can count on two hands.   :coolsmiley:
A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.

If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

I like the ones that have all the big tables in the back.  ^-^     I'm not into large glossaries.
