Just arrived! Can't wait to unbox this and get it to the table. Unboxing will happen very soon. As for when it gets to the table? My backlog is as bad as the P500.  :-[

Just been looking at it on the Compass site. Seems very interesting so I'm looking forwards to see what you think of it.

It's a Ben Madison/Wes Ernie game so I already like it.  ;D

This game really has intrigued me. Looking forward to your thoughts.

Compass has done a LOT of grand-scale WW1 games lately. I love The Lamps Are Going Out, and have considered getting Greg's Imperial Tide, but there's only so much of WW1 that I want on my table.  ;D

Nice!  :bigthumb:

I like the map and the colony's depiction. Interesting stuff.

This is what I was talking about in that other thread. I have a WWI game on a similar scale and so I likely won't pick up another - particularly as I haven't played it so I don't know if the era and scale would be something to flick my switch.

Does look nice though  ;D :hehe:
