I've always had a  soft spot for the ACW - so this looked like a reasonable choice.

Dude, did you win the lottery!?  You buying more games than my wife buys shoes and clothes.    :bigthumb:

Here at ACD, we all pee the same color.

He's the new BC  :2funny:

But that does look good. I'm not too into ACW that I'd buy a board game of it (I have a few from way back, including Fury In The West, one of my favorites actually).

I've been selling some games I wasn't playing so much - or even tried and thought (on second thoughts) I probably wouldn't play. For example, Target for Today, DVG Hornet Leader, World at War Blood and Bridges etc etc...also sold a camera that's been kicking around the house doing nothing.

So I've not been so much making new purchases as swapping games  :biggrin:

I do believe I have a way to go. Out of the 19 games I currently have, there's only 3 I haven't actually played as yet - and ALL have been unwrapped, punched and clipped  :applause:

Brother, if you lived closer, I'd be more than happy to up your count and gift you a thing or three. Though I understand space is at a premium in the UK, not just from your and Bob's pics/posts, but from experience. Plus shipping costs are about at the same level as I might as well fly over there and bring them with me.  ;D

You definitely have me beat there for having them all out of their wrappers and prepped for play. I wish there was a hat-tipping emoji. ;)

I really don't have the space. What's left is probably going to be filled with the World at War game I've got coming. And Combat! isn't there (as it's on the table) and Battle Hymn isn't there yet!

Nice. Do you like Silver Bayonet? I've almost bought that a few times.

That's one of the ones not played yet. I don't recall why. I think it's because at the time I was working on Heroes of the Falklands and the Solo expansion from LnL.

But it's opened, punched and clipped :-)

I do have to add (probably for my birthday) Heroes of the Nam. I think I might stop after that (until perhaps another Compass Games ACW game comes along).

I really need to try some civil war games. I live close to so many battlefields and have visited them, and playing the games would add another layer to the experience.

I’ve spent half my life’s earning on wargames, women, and drink. The rest I wasted.

Maybe we can trade. PM me if there's anything particular you like or have wanted and I'll see what I have and send you a list.
