Title: So what "real" wargames did Santa bring you?
Post by: GJK on December 25, 2014, 12:51:35 PM
Fleet Commander Nimitz arrived yesterday, just in time for Christmas (thanks Mad Russian!).  My son has ordered me a copy of Phantom Fury so that will be coming soon too.  How about you guys?

No wargames this year, but I did get a new rod and reel which I intend to use as my new tactical weapon in my on going war with the local fresh water fish population.

Nice!  My son *loves* to fish.  I was never much in to it but I enjoy watching him. Suddenly, he's not in to wargames any longer (he's too "cool" for them right now).  Hoping that can be changed soon.

I bought myself Empires in America and Nemo's War. My wife bought us Robinson Crusoe Adventure on the Cursed Island. That last one isn't a wargame but the rules are as complicated as one.  :P

MMP's Burma for dipping my toes into OCS for the first time.  Topped off with GMT's Hoplite and Rebel Raiders.

Got a gift card for Amazon that I used for GMT's Unconditional Surrender.

I've got a backlog of reviews here I need to work on, so I'll spend the holidays playing the ones I've been gathering for a few weeks.  I think this weekend, it's going to be New York 1776 and Tiny Epic Kingdoms.

DVG's Stalingrad card game.  Looks simple enough and I've always liked the company's approach to graphic design and the like.  I only wish they hadn't described it as "epic".  End of the day, only Case freaking Blue is EPIC.  A card game of the battle of Stalingrad is likely not...

Best,

Well hopefully it's a short lived phase.  Kids can be fickle.

None specifically for Christmas, but I did get some cash that I think is about to go toward Stonewall Jackson's Way II.
