Pride of Nations?

[undercovergeek]

no no, March of the Eagles

I saw a forum for that at Paradox but hadn't the time to check it out. What was it before?

An Ageod game.   ;)

Hmm... Is this the game that caused Johan and the Phillips seek an amicable divorce?

[Kushan]

Hint? Just a teensie one?

It recently underwent a name change.

March of Eagles?

Yes.

This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I wish Paradox and AGEOD had been able to work out their differences. I finished reading the AJE manual last night, and would like to have seen some of AGEODs army management/morale/supply systems added into the Paradox games.

Now that I've finished the AJE manual, I think I have a much better understanding of the game. I think I can at least figure out how to reinforce and recruit more troops now. Going to spend some time today with it and give the Sulla vs Marius campaign another try.

I want to see Paradox make a grand strategy in space.  I occasionally bug Wester about it on Twitter.  He takes it in good humour but it doesn't seem likely any time soon.

Distant Worlds is pretty close to EU in space.

As to the beta, I've said too much already.

I'm playing CM Fortress Italy for review andd going through the tutorials of the Matris/Slitherine Scourge of War series despite the bad taste of NorbSoft.

For the second weekend in a row, Saturday shall be a board gaming extravaganza. Smaller group this time and no kids to keep entertained. Arkham Horror and Fortune & Glory are definites. I'm hoping to get either TI3 or Runewars on the table, as well.

Aside from that, it'll be Borderlands 2 and watching football for me.

I love Arkham Horror and Runewars; in fact, I just finished a painting session of some of the fantastic Runewars minis. I liked TI3 the one time I played it, but don't own it like AH and RW.

Runewars is such a great game. We haven't had a chance to play since I picked up the Banners of War expansion, so I'm eager to throw some of it in to the mix and see how it works.

I don't think it did as well as it should have in large part because of the now antiquated coffin box. So hopefully the news of an impending revamped edition on a standard sized game box will bring more sales (and therefore more content).  ;D

I loved the base game, but after playing with BoW a few times I could never go back to just base RW. Just sayin', it's that good.

The downside of BoW is that they didn't release updated order cards with the expansion that include the new things you can do. I guess you're expected to just remember in the heat of the game! I created some word files that summarize all of the order cards, including the BoW additions. I can Email them to you if you like. I printed and laminated one for each faction, in different colors even! The other side has a statistical breakdown of fate card probabilities that I made, which makes it easier to use 30 sided dice instead of the fate cards in case you want more random results.

Well, we didn't end up playing Runewars. But Arkham Horror (we successfully prevented Azathoth from ruining the Earth), King of Tokyo, Fortune & Glory, Last Night on Earth : Timber Peak, Survive!, Wiz War, Sergeants and Cyclades were played and a good time was had by all.

Yeah, I would happily take some copies of those summaries if you don't mind. I'll PM you my email.

It turned out to be U-boats over chess.  Sometimes, I just don't have the intellect for a game that is so much smarter than me!
