Too late, he's read it - it'll play on his mind now.

Also, box art is superb  :whistle:

It is one of the best pieces of cover art for any game I've come across.

Being able to Google shit better than your clients is a legit career skill.

No, I'm still listening. I just need to be careful with my purchases.

Those counters look like Holland '44. Bawb, you mentioned Normandy '44...same system and company (GMT), I assume?

Yes, same system,  also Ardennes '44 and there is a Stalingrad '42 game coming out using that system. Plus there is also France '40, which has been oop for quite a while; I've been looking for a copy for quite a while.

Welp, that'll be an insta-buy, as long as I can swing it.

Thanks Bob...I already saw that. I don't want to do that because the charge might come at exactly the wrong time. I'd prefer to buy it when it's available and I can get it quickly.

I'd almost pulled the trigger on DG's Drive on Stalingrad at Christmas, but it was through Noble Knight Games so it was ridiculously expensive.

I must admit, there are a couple of games in the pipeline by various publishers and for which I do not have room to set up, but I'm determined to get the buggers anyway!

ps - don't say a word to the missus.
