Any Upcoming Wargame Releases on the F:ATties Radar?

Sad to read all this dislike for 1989 as my preorder which I had apparently forgotten to cancel just went through. Ah well.

So true... IMHO Clash of Monarchs was GMT's last great original CDG.

I have put Clash of Monarchs into and out of my cart so many times because of you.

No kidding, me too. Sax, if you ever want to play over Vassal, let me know. I'll learn the rules, since I've been interested anyway.

Wolvendancer, I must have misinterpreted something you said above into you not liking CDGs, I think it was something about not identifying who the player is. Sorry about that. CDGs are much more fun to me than hex-based slogs, I like the big scales with most of the fiddly shit abstracted away. I think I'd rather drink paint than play squad level WWII.

Forgot to mention earlier... despite the cover, I'm looking forward to the upcoming House Divided reprint.

I dig 1989, though it's hard to get excited about it simply because I've had a copy for, what, 3 years now? Decks for that and Ted T's civil rights game [which was particularly interesting to me for the subject matter] were among my very first ArtsCow purchases...

I don't get it.... I thought HiS and VQ where CDGs.

Never played them, but y'all sound like CDGs are played out. VQ seems like it's going to be popular.

(only CDGs I've played are WWr, H:RvC, and Successors)

They are.

They are, and I enjoy both very much, but they are unique creatures; I'd actually compare them to TI:3, in that they are long and of questionable merit as games but are simply excellent gaming experiences.

Nevertheless, if you'd like to amend my comments to, 'Besides 'Virgin Queen', I don't see any promising CDGs coming from GMT in the near future.' feel free.
