Compass Games is killing me

[BanzaiCat]

First it's Amerika Bomber: Evil Queen of the Skies (coming out in November of this year)...and now Devil Boats: PT Boats in the Solomons, coming out in Q2 of 2020.

I already pre-ordered Amerika Bomber, and am sorely tempted by PT Boats. I loved reading PT-109 back in school.

I'm also tempted by Ostkrieg: WW II Eastern Front as it is well suited to solo play.

I have a list of titles to pick up at Compass Con. None of this solo crap though.

You and your weird "play boardgames with other people" thing.

[bbmike]

Yeah, him and his fancy "friends".

[mirth]

fancy is not the word to describe my friends

Yeah, I mean to say, just look at us................

Oh wait.......

Welp I pre-ordered Devil Boats. Compass Games actually laughed at my post on FB where I said something like "I *just* got Amerika Bomber, and now this." The dev, whom wasn't on Facebook, signed up to reply to that thread, LOL. (Well he did it to answer questions about the game.)

I take comfort in the fact that I cancelled most of my P500 orders over at GMT, except for three. I think I'm good for the moment. Stalingrad '42 is at the printers so we'll see when that one gets shipped.

In any case, Devil Boats just seemed like a nice unique title and Compass really handles solo games well.

I'm mulling over Devil Boats but will probably wait a bit.

I also see there is a daylight version of Nightfighter Ace due out:

Indeed there is ...Interceptor Ace. I helped them proof the manual, and they went and put my name in the credits. I'm going to skip that one for now, though. Between Nightfighter Ace, America Bomber, and Devil Boats, plus whatever else I grab (lol), I'm good for now.

Though I believe Gregory is doing a Gotha Ace, or Gotha Raider, or something like that.

Cool!

I'm good for now.

For this week.

 Peloponnesian War lookin' awful purty

Whacking Japs is a totally different proposition.   

Let's cool it with the "Japs" bullshit. It isn't 1945 anymore.

No.  Nazis and Japs have not passed the 100 year expiration date.

Nazis are a political group... “ Japs” is a racial slur.
