What is on everyone's Christmas list and what are you picking up?
PE
Most of the Thinkgeek site, and probably some silly t-shirt, respectively

Lol... that silly t-shirt sounds like the worst table top game ever :D

I'm just being realistic... there's a -zero- percent chance of getting any gaming anything from my family :)
Elite Dangerous.

This is why I rely on GH. O0
I just pre-ordered Hakkaa Päälle as a Christmas gift to myself (even if it's next Christmas before I actually get it).
Both of the Shadows of Brimstone Core Sets. Not sure if they'll be here before the end of December but even then I'll have to spend a lot of time assembling the assload of minis before getting into it.
Just spent around $400 on flight sim hardware, so my seasonal self-indulgence is over. :))
I have a stupidly oversized board game order which has been assembled over months that should finally ship this Friday when King of New York releases. I MIGHT be done punching out and learning those games by Christmas...
I might pick myself up Ambush! if I see it cheap enough.
I have Fleet Commander Nimitz coming in November and Huey Leader and Israeli Air Force Leader on pre-order.
There are no other board games on the horizon for me just now.
I'm in danger of doing with board games what I do with computer games...have so many I never focus on any...and I have a superb collection (imo)
Battle of Britain
Phantom Leader
Hornet Leader
Thunderbolt/Apache Leader
World at War:Blood and Bridges
Warfighter
Lock n Load Band of Heroes
Conflict of Heroes
I know people have waaaay more than that...but I don't want my board game collection to be the same as my PC game collection. :(
I don't ask for gaming stuff for Christmas, but I do treat myself in December. I'm trying to decide between War in the West, or Steel Wolves. I'm leaning towards War in the West because... kittens.
D-Day at Tarawa and Enemy Coast Ahead: The Dambuster Raid for some solitaire wargaming goodness. They are more "hidden in the wardrobe" than "on the wishlist" though :)

Here's a copy for sale ($70). Shipping might be high for you though....

My gaming budget is still recovering from my latest ASL purchases. /sigh/ I might content myself with a corner rounder punch to begin the long journey of clipping ASL counters. :)

Man.. browsing Consimworld is like masturbating with a cheese grater. Mostly painful.
Their message board system is straight from 1994. :buck2:

I have the following I would like to have and in order.... and probably will not get in order:
Enemy Coast Ahead: The Dambuster Raid
Castle Ravenloft
Galaxy Defenders
Battle of Britain
Villainous Vikings

It is reminiscent of GENIE (dating myself) but once you figure out the hierarchy of menu levels, it's not so bad. Actually, what I do is for any game that I'm interested in following the conversation on (plus the Marketplace), I "subscribe" to its listing. Then when I visit CSW, I go straight to my "Message Center" page and if any new posts have been made in the folder for any game that I'm following, it will show up there.

Agreed. I hardly bother with the place anymore.
Yet you guys figure out how to play complicated boardgames with no problems?? :idiot2: :))
Those of us that lived through the days of Avalon Hill rule books can handle pretty much anything. Except for BBS-era technology. :coolsmiley:
I get my subscriptions set up on CSW and then don't stray from them. There's a couple of folders where it's been made plainly clear I'm not welcome, and a couple of other folders where I just got sick of trying to join conversations and getting ignored instead.

It's far easier than finding needles in an antiquated message board system.
There is order in (most) rulebooks. Only chaos in that madness!! :P
So are we saying that CSW is organized as well as a Mark Walker rulebook??? :2funny:

Thanks GJK. I have seen it (I think) for £50 in the UK over at BGG. I still might punt the money up...but I should get going on the great games I already have.
I have 2 games on my want list, unfortunately, it looks like neither of them will be out for Christmas;
'Texas Arrows' - the next in Worthington's BoB series.
'No Retreat - Italian Campaign', from GMT.
....Oh, and LnL's 'Stalin's Triumph'...........maybe.

For me that won't be until after Christmas. I have far too many development irons in the fire until then to actually 'play' a game. But I look forward to getting in a game the first part of the year.
Good Hunting.
