While the picture is borrowed from BGG, this is what I am getting too.



The game arrived today  O0 while the book should arrive towards the end of next week.

No chance for any gaming this weekend, too bad, but I guess commuting to work will go all too quickly for a change with the rule books as reading.

I have that too but have yet to play it. Maybe we can try it out with Vassal.

Now that looks like fun!

That isn't just a game, it's a lifestyle :P

Which is pretty much the reason it's still in the box, in-punched here...

Isn't "in-punched" what Mississippi wargamers do when they play with their sisters? ;)

The reference material included by the designer is alone worth the purchase price - 'detailed' doesn't begin to describe it.

We're trying to have a serious game discussion here :P

As opposed to anywhere else in these forums?

Though I did post a serious picture. I mean, Silent Hunter and FIRE-FREAKIN'-FLY THE GAME.  :smitten:

But when will you play them?

Have a friend who holds WEEKEND parties to play "Firefly" with all the expansions.

Cooks like a fiend, cleans the whole joint, has cases of booze and soda.

...and complains that "Fire in the Lake" looks like to much of a time commitment...

I'm actually going to play Silent Victory this weekend, dammit. I'm done with my main project (six months of development time in frikkin' five weeks!) but there's still other areas of the globe to tailor the training for. Still, this will be the first weekend in a while where I don't...uh...well, don't work TOO much.

As for Firefly...going to a game group that I haven't joined up with in more than a year mainly because of work time committments, and the host has it plus one expansion (he said the 'first' one, but I don't know offhand which one that is...Breakin' Atmo? I dunno). His wife said some of them love to play it and teach it to newbies, so it sounds like a win for me. (Technically I'm not playing MY copy of it, so I guess that doesn't count among all youse wise guys.)

That's the main reason why I didn't buy Firefly...time commitment, too much space taken up, but there's some solo rules that Derek covered in his review video that made me go ahead and pull the trigger. I had some reward cards for Amazon for fitness goals I've reached lately, so I figured, why not celebrate Amazon gift card money from healthy activity by buying board games that require me to sit on my ass? An excellent choice IMO.

I hope that isn't the rule here
