It's funny- I'd never even heard of Compass Games until Silent War came out and now just a few years later they're Heap Big Stuff. Quite amazing.

Some good games, and the product quality is generally first class.

My copy of Absolute Victory might have been an exception. One of the counter sheets is misprinted. I've emailed support twice and was told that a replacement sheet would be sent. Still waiting but I'm hopeful.  :dreamer:

They're very prolific and create some really nice-looking games. Plus the guy that runs it seems to often be on FB doing live streams about upcoming games.

I still need to do my review of Raiders of the Deep. Good game.

You do non-existent reviews for this site as well?  :whistle:

Whelp, I 'won' in the Mulligan round of Bitter Woods and advanced to the second round tomorrow. My opponent was a very experienced player who is friends with Randy Heller (designer of Bitter Woods). He was gracious enough to coach me through the first couple turns. That combined with his ice cold die rolling allowed me to hold on for a win as the Americans. And I literally mean hold on. I don't think I made an attack all game. I fell back and denied him the victory hexes.

I have a feeling I am going to be squashed like a bug tomorrow morning.

The real upside is that Compass is offering pretty much all of it's current games at 50% off here at the Con. Looking at picking up Korea: Fire and Ice as well as South China Sea.
