Wallenstein's men were notorious colonialists.  After Lutzen, there's nobody for him to cheer.

Reading these rules isn't so much "reading" and "remembering."

I actually don't really like games.

I watched part of Marco’s review and another one. The thing I wonder about his reviews and honestly many other reviewers is how many times to they actually play the games they are reviewing. I get you can have an intellectual or emotional response to a topic but I find the actual review of gameplay to be often be not very informative.

An excellent point. I suspect many time the games have only been played a limited number of times. I tend to find videos of actual game play more useful than reviews.

I'm totally with you on this. I really can't accept that they do more than just give games a superficial scan. You have to play a game and get to know it before you can give informed comments on them.  Its one thing to review the quality of the components and overall presentation, and that in itself is useful, but for me, that's as far as it goes unless we get some informed comments about actual gameplay.

If you joined or if you watched, you know that this was gaming at its very best.

My goodness did I enjoy that.

Thanks everybody.

That really was very, very enjoyable. The game is a really elegant system. I'll play that anytime.

Although I did enjoy our game of 'Horse & Musket' on Vassal yesterday. Another very elegant and subtle system - even though Doug did give me a good drubbing!
