Latest haul from BottosCon convention...

[Silent Disapproval Robot]

I thought real wargamers didn't play games with cards.

Heretics

I'm already going to hell, so does it matter what my views are? If there is a God, why would He care what one out of eight billion thinks? Please.

criminals

Never convicted...

corner clippers

Hey, if the damn tab doesn't come off cleanly and there's a big fuzzy cardboard too-mah growing off of the corner of it, I'm going to cut that sumbitch off.

I despair for the fate of our hobby!

Such melodramatics, sir!

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow cast by all the board games I'm hoarding, I will fear no counter-clipping; for thy womanly dramatics are with us all, though I don't know nothing 'bout your rod and staff comforting anyone around here, nor do I wish to know, verily! :)

[Nefaro]

I need to commit multiple heinous crimes by clipping counter corner tumors on at least six new games.   

I'll repent my vicious cardboard murders with carpal tunnel pain after each. 

[Silent Disapproval Robot]

Oh well, it's not like I really need to be flinging more money at another miniatures game.

Heretic!

I repent!  WW2 era Wings of Glory on the way.

(and I'm out $238 CDN, you god forsaken enablers!!)

[Barthheart]

Did ya get any of the bombers? I bought the B-17 and a Lancaster at Origins last year.... and I don't even ply the WWII version. I have about a dozen of the WWI planes and our group has all three maps.

[Silent Disapproval Robot]

Yup.  I bought two versions of the Lancaster, a B-17, and a B-25.

Hoping they expand the line.  I'd love to see some P-38s and P-40s along with some early/mid war Japanese planes like the Ki-43 and the Betty so I can do some Solomon Islands stuff.

I thought one of the starters came with a P-40?

[Silent Disapproval Robot]

I couldn't find a copy of the WW2 starter kit that comes with the 4 minis for sale.  I had to make due with the accessories and rules box that just comes with the rules, cards, and counters but no minis.   

[Cyrano]

Oh, hey, I missed this.

Them's ain't cards!

Them's CHITS...bigguns too!

[BanzaiCat]

YOU GOT A PURTY CHIT THAR, BOY

[Silent Disapproval Robot]

Oh, hey, I missed this.

Them's ain't cards!

Them's CHITS...bigguns too!

You get a big ol' deck of cards too.  Gotta play guess the manoeuvre and pick the right card when trying to stay on so eone's 6, iirc.

[Cyrano]

Ah, but 'tis so with the Ares games, no?  That's why I assumed you was runnin' it down for lacking toy planes...a passionate love of all Grogs.

@BC: You have no idear...no idear at all...

[Silent Disapproval Robot]

Me?  God no.  I'm easily distracted by shiny things these days.  My name is SDR, and I'm a recovering grog.  I used to scoff at any man who'd  dare to play ASL without all the available rules in place.  If you didn't need a plastic tray to sort all the counters in a game, then it wasn't really a game.

I'm much better now.  I think, with a little adult supervision, that I'm ready to go back out into society.  I'll play games with plastic figures, collectible cards, proprietary dice, and occasionally....reluctantly.... even games with meeples. *shudder*  (However, if anyone pulls out an abstract Euro or a "party" game, I still want to take a card-stock CRT table and give them a paper cut on the webbing between their fingers.)

[BanzaiCat]

My name is SDR, and I'm a recovering grog.

I'm much better now.

Says the guy that just dropped "$238 CDN" on more shiny toys. Not sure if that's Monopoly money or a real thing.

And here's a board game we can all get behind. Don't ask why I thought of it...probably because I'm a sick bastard.

[Silent Disapproval Robot]

Exchange rate changed overnight.  It's now $242....
