Eric,
Thanks! The article on Spanish Civil War is one that I've been trying to get written and into the magazine for quite a while now, and Smitty did a characteristically great job with The Solomons Campaign I think.

Comment by Eric Walters on November 21, 2009 at 8:46pm - Got mine yesterday. My favorite articles were the ones on STORM OVER TAIERZHUANG, KASSERINE, and THE ROYAL NAVY. I'd not played the other games (yet), so maybe that's why I liked the articles I did (plus, you ain't such a bad writer, Jim!). Today my issue of World At War showed up with the latest Bomba remake of DESTRUCTION OF ARMY GROUP CENTER--hmmmmm...will just have to dive into that!

- Just about all of the domestic subscribers, with the possible exception of Alaska and Hawaii, should have their copies today. I'd like to hear your feedback.

Are they the same car (basically)? VW owns Audi.
I'd like to personally invite you all to read a full preview (13Mb PDF link) of our new fast-playing (30 minutes) tactical WWII card game, Frontline General: Spearpoint 1943 in our newsletter. I'm happy to announce that we've just passed the 200 p…
Thanks!

Didn't we just have a special election.....God we get to go through THAT yet again....
I've found the internal debate (i.e. the debate in my head) has been to either play a lot of games poorly or a few games well. I prefer the latter model, but then you must, as you say, find that set of holy grail games that one chooses to become goo…
Chris:
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.

The fact that Carolyn like KAtie, married men like us tells us they are good and special people.
My wife Carolyn teaches special ed. I wouldn't trade jobs with her for any amount of money. Very difficult work indeed.
Group to discuss boardgame Map Making.

I've recently printed and built "To the Last Man." I was able to play the game and get an idea of its look and feel beforehand thanks to BGG and Cyberboard. It's an excellent game, one well worth the bother.
I _hope_ it is just by unfortunate accid…
Yes, this was a creepy ad. I looked at the Audi website to compare this car to others. Oddly enough, you are unable to compare it to the VW SportWagon TDI, which gets exactly the same mileage.
Lately, I've been mad at Newsweek, due to issues of bias that are beyond the realm of this group. However, tonight I read a very good article on its web site, regarding layoffs.I was once in a meeting at a former employer, and we were going over th…
