I mentioned it on the Compass townhall Thursday night that we had that pod cast coming out on Friday.

Here at ACD, we all pee the same color.

Part Two MiD Compass Holiday Catalog 2020

Here is the second section, where our esteemed panelists go through the catalog. I tried to list the games in order of the discussion. I'm sure there are some that are not exactly in the right order.  If I game was listed in the first section, I did not list it here.

Whew! I think I have this sorted out now. The first section here is the general banter about the catalog and what games the panelists are keen to get, or learn more about. The second section will be a run down of the list.

For the first section I have links to both BGG and to Compass Games. I wanted to see and share what information was at both sites. This may seem redundant and it many ways it is. There is great info at the Compass site and there is more info at the BGG site. I only do this for the first section. In the second section, I only provide links to Compass. I will not do future show notes for the Compass Catalog this way. I'm not exactly sure how I would do it, but I've learned how I wouldn't do it. :biggrin:

Before you reply: Yes, I probably listed a few games more than once and I probably missed some games. Tough Cheese. OK, on with the notes:

Wait, you don't have the Compass Games catalog yet? You can download it here:  Compass Games 2020 Holiday Catalog

The podcast panel also talked about how much they enjoyed getting something tangible from Compass Games, akin to the Sear's Wishbook. If you ware not old enough to remember such a wonder, or if you'd like a dose of nostalgia,  here are pages 588 and 589 from the 1983 Sear's Wishbook:

Brant brought up an article by RockyMountainNavy, which you can find here: Cold War, Hot Wargame – Blue Water Navy: The War at Sea

At the 1 hour 29 minute mark, bbMike brings up the game 1776. I sure hope he meant the game by Avalon Hill and not Worthington Games.
