I looked at that one a few times and passed. Be nice to know what you think of it though.


We need a good Falklands game that encompasses the Air/Land/Naval/Political aspects. I'm surprised no one is pursuing such a game. It would be an instant buy for me.

lol - no. That was a different level of cost. It was Margaret Thatcher's War

I'm going to get that out this weekend  ???

That's a Ben Madison game. If it's anything like Don't Tread On Me it will be worth every penny.  :bigthumb:

Cool. I did hear good things about it which is why I bought it - but personally I thought the components are kind of showing their age. The map and mechanics seem pretty cool mind.

The out of print solitaire game from a defunct publisher that you can't buy for less that $150?

Don't let that stop you! We have a "most expensive game you've bought" thread now.  :P

I think Compass has some great products, but holy hell are they expensive.

That would require the dead tree version of endless DLC.

So... Solitaire ASL.

I bought this today at my FLGS. I almost bought Tank Duel but decided I wanted something a little more strategic and easier to get into. Had several people on the FB Solitaire Wargames group tell me the solo rules are crap, but a couple of folks stuck up for it. All of them said the game is perfectly great playing it two-handed.

You can count on the fact that he bought at least one other game, just not necessarily the one he was talking about in this post
