Because Miniatures Market didn't have it?

I watched Marco's review video and was immediately smitten by the large hexes and counters.

Large hexes do it for me.  :dreamer:

Just arrived, pretty stoked. Gotta wait for the workday to end before I can unbox though.   :waah:



The fortuitous pause with the movie Up The Creek was not planned; I paused it there to see what came to the door.

Nope...lol.

Right now I'm trying to get through the Star Trek Frontiers manual, which truly sucks. It's not hard to fathom, it's just a lot of tiny print in three columns across 30-odd pages. :(

That is proper superb that the pause happened as you got those games. Nice one. Like the look of Antietam

Got Antietam to the table late last night for a brief intro to the system. Screwed up the flow of the game (interestingly, there's no summary of the sequence of play on the back of the rules nor on the player aid sheets) but I'll get the hang of it. It's pretty simple. I find I still need a magnifying glass to read the hex numbers on the board for set-up, though.

B_C, make sure you get the v1.2 rules which have a couple of significant changes and clarifications. There are also one or two set-up errors so its worth checking the BGG page.
