What's on your table right now?

That's the response I get too.

Well I discovered this morning that my fear that the maps for Ukraine 43 would not fit on my desk was well founded.  They hang over the edge of the desk by a good 4 or 5 inches.  Quite stressful, but on the bright side both the US Civil War and Normandy 44 fit nicely.  The only issue is that my plexiglass sheet is too small to cover the entire US Civil War map board.

Ooh. Normandy '44 is a great game - only 1 map but a few charts you need to have at hand as well.

I'm working my way through the rules again.  I don't mind complex rules but it takes time and usually a few plays for them to click.    I've got the map on the table under plexiglass and the re-enforcement charts ready to receive chits.  I decided to go with Normandy 44 over US Civil War for the time being as my "permanently" setup wargame on my desk.  For no real reason other than I'd like to play the US Civil War in a head to head game whereas I always planned on playing Normandy 44 as a solo game.

I also have read the rules and punched counters for Concordia.  It's a Roman Empire themed economic/resource management euro game and is the next game the wife and I will be playing together.

Well.... keeping with the WWII theme...

PE, how many little baggies with markers/figures did you receive? I see five I think in your pic.

Looks like I only received one of them - the markers. Not at ALL looking a gift horse in he mouth, it's just weird since others have posted pics on FB and elsewhere of this awesomeness and they have multiple little baggies.

No biggie - it's pretty cool what they sent.

I received 2 of the Token Packs, and Minis for US, UK, Germany, and Russia.. so six in total. I was a little surprised I received 2 of the token baggies.

Cool. I was just thinking an unboxing video isn't going to be as complete as it could be. Still I doubt the figs are needed for gameplay, from what I recall of the other, modern version of the game.*

The figures are nice, however unpainted they all kind of look the same.... silver soldiers.   I usually opt for the counters to represent the different soldiers/squads.

[BanzaiCat]

Could probably just substitute A&A figures, too.

Welp, I have GMT's Silver Bayonet and FAB: Golan on the way now

You should have P500 Silver Bayonet and saved yourself a few bones.

P.S. I'm envious of your purchase, it was a game I'd ogled many times.  I could just never get myself to order as I have so many wargames to play still.

I'm getting a pretty good deal on it even without the P500 ;)

You really shouldn't let that stop you. I certainly don't :P
