Excellent...

You know - I'm quite enamoured with ASL - but I just don't think I can buy into 1/2" counters. It's just a wee bit too small for my eyes.

Time to channel Metaldog again:

BC (and Brant), I love you like a brother but that's the worst thing ever posted to this site.  :sick:
I mean, maybe it would have been okay on April 1. Well, no, not even then.

Hahaha

Did you read the content, though? It was very tongue in cheek.

I did. As punishment you need to do an in-depth playthrough/review of The Campaign for North Africa.

We close out March #UnboxingDay with a dip into the archives.  Yes, over 30 years ago and don't you feel old now?

Good god...how did you people play boardgames back then.
  • Map art seems non existent (though I would say there's a certain charm to the basicness of them)
  • the counters look like you need an axe to get them out the cardboard and are really small and hard to read - and always such stark colours.
  • the manuals and player aids were just so bland


I salute you all for not waiting until the 21st century to buy decent games  :applause:
