What is the radius of your clipper?  2.5 or 3mm?
2.5

I knew yours was bigger than mine.

I'm seriously considering by the 2mm and 3mm just to round out my collection.

I saw what you did there!

LOL

The 3mm is just fine, even with smaller/older counters.

that's what she said

as soon as I typed that I knew it would invite input from the peanut gallery

I'll have to give up on my Normandy '44...that Spanish guy on BGG isn't answering.

I'll have to keep an eye out for when the third edition is almost ready.

I did but I thought I'd tripped back to 1980  :2funny:

The page was a mess. I wasn't sure what to do, but when I got to the page I searched for Normandy '44 and it didn't bring back anything (just the page mind).

I'll give it another look.

I did go back and checked it out (not the FB one as I don't do FB).

There were some offers on there. The most recent (available and not so costly) was June/July 2018...I might get in touch with him - see if it's still available. There was an option there for $85 and more recent (this year) - but it is $85 and as all the costs are in $, it means there's going to be considerable postage costs.

Thanks for the links - I didn't say it before, but it should go without saying that any help was absolutely appreciated. I was just shocked at the consim page...it was like time travel  ;D

The one "possibly" available for last year was the 1st edition - I don't know that I want a 1st edition. I think I'll wait 'till the 3rd edition is out

Thank you all the same.

LOL - yeah, CSW can be a bit..................strange.

Actually,  I think you will find that there is no difference, and that its actually not a 3rd edition as such, just a 3rd printing, and it is the same as the '1st' edition'.

I don't think CONSIM has changed their format since the days of the 1200-baud modem.  ;D

I actually have one of those for my C128. I wonder if I could surf CSW with it. Hmmm... anyone known a good dial-up ISP?
