Indeed!
Lots there I wanted but sticking to the pair of 50% off games I can get. The season in which I hemorrhage money to taxes and holiday gifts is nigh, so restraint is in order. Maybe. Be strong! :))
Picked up Twin Peaks (I don't currently have any ACW tactical stuff), and the new Pax Romana edition.
Not sure if I'm gonna keep my previous version of PR. May donate it, if I don't feel the need to pillage extra counters or anything.
Anybody get and play Genisis yet? That's the only thing I might buy. I didn't get any P500 this year so I can only get 20% off....
I've heard mixed reviews of Genesis, and not just b/c of the unmounted board fiasco.
I was hoping to grab Churchill but it's out of stock.

+1 but Pacific Typhoon.

turned out that was one of their fastest sellers ever
I was also looking to pick up Andean Abyss (I blame the Netflix show Narcos) but it's also out of stock. No sales for me. Oh well, probably for the best as my taxes will be going up now anyway.
Damn it!

I have it, but have not punched & played.
The rules were an easy read and organized fairly well. The game's basically a revised
Pax Romana with fewer annoying "special rules" to keep track of. I expect it to be a great option as a grand strategy wargame ideal for 3+ players, but without heavy rules and long turn times.
The one AAR I read about it gave a good impression, although the factions may not all be balanced.

EDIT:
Joel Toppen just put out one of his 'Inside The Game' vids on Genesis, if you want to see how it generally plays:
Washington's War and Dominant Species.

Washington's War and Dominant Species.
I keep waffling back and forth about Dominant Species. It looks really interesting and I have the iPad version but not sure I'd ever get my game group to play it....

I thought it looked a bit interesting but... I own
Bios: Megafauna, which is one of those damn interesting Phil Eklund games, with a similar subject. Don't think I need another, unless it's one of Phil's sequels.
The irony is, the more GMT I buy during the year, the less gaps there are in my library. This year, only buying one game, C&C Napoleonics; Spanish Army and counter trays.
Knowing GMT's past shipping habits, maybe we'll see our orders.... around New Years? ???

Agree...still waiting for the Oct 9th P500s (US Civil War and C&C Napoleonics Expansion 5)
However, I bought a hexasim game from them recently, and they shipped very quickly.
OK, I'm not the only one wondering what's up with C&C:N V. A bit frustrating to see guys offering it up on CSW when you don't have it yet...very curious to know if it tips Richard's hand as to how he's going to handle epic.

Finally received US Civil War and C&C Napoleonics Expansion 5. I am a huge GMT fan, but I don't like their P500 shipping habits. Anyway, they know me well...once the game is in hand, all is forgiven.
GMT just sent me a shipping notification. So it's gone faster than expected.
Just received my fall sale package from GMT today. I ordered on 10/24. I know they are a small company and all....but sheesh....
Still faster than Canada Post.
Only if you pay extra for expedited service. Otherwise it's sent via a potato-faced galumphing sow in too-tight polyester pants who has 12 grievances ongoing and is sleeping with the shop steward.

I must be the lone person in the country who actually gets great service from Canada Post. Weird. 8)
