I am unclear as to the reasons -- unlike the circumstances in the U.K. -- but the horrifically weak Canadian Dollar has made purchasing eBay games from up there a real joy.
Personal recent favorite -- $62 US for M.I.B. O.S.G. 5th Edition Leipzig. Shipped.
Now to use a sled of back bacon and near beer to get one of them to cut loose a copy of "The Coming Storm" and I'll have something!
You realize we're going to have to start an actual Napoleonic gaming group named "La Fraternite des Boutons Carres" now, right?
Also, we really need to work out playing these in Vassal. I'm really starting to enjoy this system as I get my head around it.
Just FYI...most of us Canadians will also take coffee beans, musket balls, black powder, and glass beads as fair trade.
...maybe even counter corner clippers...............(sorry Vance)
I have, on occasion, been know to accept beer in trade for games... but never clipped. :knuppel2:
Us Canadians take coffee in trade, but only Tim Horton's brand.
@avrotim: And is there anything more Canadian than a Louis Riel game?
Damn near spit soda when I heard that was a-coming.
Enthusiastic day-one purchase for me.
The Riel project got side-tracked for most of the summer, but Alan over at VPG has gotten it back on the front burner and is busy bugging me for more artwork.
+1!!
