It's a period of time referred to as the Star Time Paradigm.

Actually, wouldn't that be "never"?

Well I just received a P500 I ordered last year following Prezcon.  My Combat Commander collection is growing closer to complete.  I have 2 of the 6 modules on P500, which should also be arriving soon.

Complete impulse purchases this past weekend at my local (1 hour away) gaming store.  I've heard good things about the Civ game and my wife said she thought it looks interesting and would give it a try.

The Gettysburg game I bought just on "judging a book by its cover."  I love the look of the game map and the way the forces are portrayed during game play.

Looked up the Gettysburg game on BBG.  It looks interesting.

I haven't had time to really dig into the rules but again I was completely suckered in by pretty pictures of the game and this marketing line on the back of the box, "Units in the game are represented by linear blocks rather than the traditional hex and counters, giving the game an appearance that evokes 19th-century battlemaps."

Dark Valley just arrived....  Looks very good.

Yeah the block look is really cool.

Except I have to put stickers on all of them.  But then again its not nearly as bad as Command and Colors Ancients.  ::)

I just got the last one I was missing. The Resistance game. I don't have the Sea Lion battle pack but I don't want it.

If you want to play on Vassal let me know. I'm doing some scenario creation work with this series of games and can use another playtester if you are interested. To convert my CM scenarios will take awhile.... :o

Good Hunting.

I need to pick up the Resistance too.  Mostly for the random battle generator and to work on completing my collection.
