Deals and Steals

Yes, it is a newer implementation of Panzer General with a ton of in-app purchases. I bought it.

I have Slitherine's Battle Academy Demo and it's very good. Turn based. It took me a while to twig on to some of the information display, but I suppose that's true for any complex game. The only reason I haven't gotten back to Battle Academy is that I have a couple of long-term Vassal games going that I usually give priority to.

Here's the 36 page manual: www.slithdata.net/files/panzer_corps/Man...d-Manual-English.pdf

CoolStuffInc and MiniatureMarket have posted their Black Friday sales.
AAAaannnndddd...Cue the sad trombone music.

Both sites have some Sails of Glory ships for about 50% off. Twisting the knife that I missed the Core Set sale a few weeks back.

I threw together a Miniature Market order for some Krosmaster stuff but otherwise...Meh...

Looked over MM and CSI (MM's sale is much better IMO) and held out, nothing I really needed.

I go to Cardhaus and see they have some sleeves I needed on sale so they sucker me in, goddamnit.

I walked away with:

Cypher
Imperial Settlers
Sheriff of Nottingham
Suburbia
Concept

I'm not even sure what the fuck I'm doing because Cypher looks like it may be shit (but it was $4!), Imperial Settlers looks good but I don't really need it. I already have Sheriff of Nottingham but it was $19.99! Suburbia I didn't really need either but it's talked about very fondly.

Fuck, I think I'm just going to save Concept and Sheriff of Nottingham to sell-off when Tabletop airs and they go out of print.

Airlines EUrope for $31.99 at CSI is a damn good price- great game. Tempted by Black Fleet at $29.99. Lords of Xidit for $31.99, I'd definitely say go for that if you are interested. Ogre Designer's Edition for $89.99...ha ha! Rest of it looks like a bunch of cast-offs and future math trade fodder. But I also see Sons of Anarchy at $27.99 and Kemble's Cascade at $24.99. Bestial Forces, $17.49...I'd actually buy that but there's nothing else I want right now.

Can't get Miniature Market to come up.

Yeah, I fought with Miniature Market for like an hour just to put seven items in my cart.

There's a lot that I'd like to try, but I'm past the point of buying in order to try. That's the nice thing about playing in a game store regularly, if a game is hot enough and good enough it is easy to find someone with a copy. It's ended up saving me a lot of money (which I have been able to spend on Attack Wing!)

Who is doing Imperial Setllers? That's about the only game I'd be interested in buying right now. $30 or less and I may not be able to resist.

I got it for $33 at Cardhaus Barnes.

My bad, it's out of stock now.

And this ends my Black Friday aspirations. Damn it!
