Played the training scenario of Band of Brothers: Screaming Eagles as a solo learning game last night. Really like the system, there are a lot of die rolls though, my wrist hasn't seen this much action since I discovered my step-father's porn mags when I was 13....

He's in New Zealand, those were pictures burned into a tanned sheepskin with a red hot needle.

BoB is a good system, that plays fast. Lots of die rolls, but the upside is pretty much no charts once you understand how combat works. Really fast combat resolution as compared to some other WW2 tactical systems.

I actually don't really like games.

.....or maybe 11

Its just a great pity that, so far at least,  Worthington have failed to keep the series going. This is very much like the situation with Academy Games and the CoH series.

So, you P500 gurus out there - there's a title called Mr. President (by Gene Billingsley) that is a P500 title and one I'm very interested in. It's status is 'Made the Cut' - it has over 1800 orders to date - so I assume that this means it's just a matter of time before it goes to production?

I'm sure it differs from game to game, but how long of a wait does this mean? A year? Months? Just curious. Thanks!
