What have you purchased lately?
Just curious to see what everyone has added to their collections lately. I just picked up a copy of Ambush! on E-bay for $38 unpunched/unused, also picked up a copy of RAF solitaire for $11. Also have a copy of Beyond Valor 3rd Ed. INCOMING! for $105 from MMP :( I've been keeping an eye out for a copy of ASLRB 2nd Ed. as well. Enough about me, what have you been up to?

Just picked up Titan by Valley Games. Been forever since I played the original Titan and been wanting to pick up a copy for a while. Saw it yesterday and bought it.

Just mainly old Spis & Wargamer(3w)s I had before I moved to Vegas 4.5 yrs ago. Most I never got to play back in Mass & likely will not here either. Did get the SSI Gettysburg so can play solitaire along with Battles of Nap. 13 The Colonies Revolt & Ney vs Wellington were new for me in the ebay batch. 7 mags w/mosylt mint games + 2 folios (Dixie + Punic Wars) for $77 wasn't bad though I now see Eylau has 100 vs 115 counters - no Napoleon:(. No need to buy/learn new games when great old 1s like fred the Great & 1776 sit around unplayed...

Got MARIA in the mail yesterday...a distant cousin to FRIEDRICH, this one covering the War of Austrian Succession. Should play a lot faster than the Red Sash trilogy covering the same topic (oh, but MARIA does NOT cover the Italian Front). 3 player game, interestingly enough. Obtained courtesy Simmons Games. Looks very, very interesting...

I just made an order to Noble Knight Games:
Elusive Victory (GMT)
Sealords on the Mekong Delta (S&T)
Nordkapp (S&T)
Fortress Berlin (ATO)
Let's see when I have time to play them, and can cover them in Line of Departure.

Jim, oh I have so many fond memories playing NORDKAPP. Back in those days I was stationed at Camp Lejeune and both 6th and 4th Marine Expeditionary Brigades had the Norway "contingency." I trained with 4th MEB doing Norway ALPINE WARRIOR workups. So the game had a lot of meaning to me and I used it to design some training scenarios for computer-driven Command Post Exercises when I was at II Marine Expeditionary Force wargame center.
Oh, and I do like FORTRESS BERLIN. Got SEALORDS and ELUSIVE VICTORY but haven't played either of them yet!

Smitty got me interested in Elusive Victory, especially as I have Downtown, and would like to devote some time to playing both for some compare and contrast. I played a lot of the old GDW Arctic Front and Victory's 2nd Fleet back in the day, enjoyed both, but was never really satisfied with the level of detail in the ground war for either, including the former. Then too there are many, many games of Harpoon Classic with the GIUK Battleset.
So my interest level is up, and I'm ready to get into my way-back machine for a return to the 1980's!

DOWNTOWN is such, such a great game. Quite a puzzle for both sides. And I love how the scenarios show the progression of air vs air, air vs ground, and ground vs air technology over the years! ELUSIVE VICTORY looks so good as well!

Picked up the deluxe edition of Twilight Struggle and sat down to play tonight. I had forgotten how much I enjoy that game!
Also picked up some games for our kids and the niece/nephews for Christmas presents. Can't say what in case any of them cruise through here...

I'll probably pick that up, right after Christmas, just in case Santa or Hanukkah Harry are bringing it in a couple of weeks.

Really - that's a good point. I wonder if the Audi folks realized the message they were sending out with this one. I doubt if anyone found it funny in the least.
