Can anyone tell me more about GMTs Sekigahara? I see it finally got reprinted and I remember wanting a copy ages ago but forgetting why.

Of the COIN games is Andean Abyss or Cube Libre more accessible? Or is it much the same?

Even the counters in their mocked up version of the game have clipped corners. Coming from board gaming i didn't even know this was a thing till this thread. I need to get on this level.

Has anyone been following the prerelease stuff for Fire in the Lake? Would it be a dumb choice as my first COIN game? Edit: looks like Cuba Libre is the easiest to pickup but I'm and idiot and waited till everything is OOP before finally getting into COIN. dishwasherlove fucked around with this message at 02:52 on Aug 4, 2014 |

Yeah I only just read about the short scenario and the points you mentioned are pushing me over the edge. Preorder price for Cuba Libre is good but who knows when that reprint will ship.

Are there any decent wargaming blogs or websites for beginners? Like something not so groggy for those segueing from board gaming?

I did some stupid poo poo to see how combat worked. Leading my defence with artillery was a high point. Have to do some more reading about how to more effectively use troops. You probe with cavalry to tie up some units on one flank then hit the other one with a corp right? We messed up that corp moves via road have to stop if you end up adjacent to an enemy (unless you are all cav) so there were some crazy big moves into combat. Whoops. Fun was had and now keen to give it another go.

Jumped on the Fire in the Lake P500 for a low price just before they shipped it. Ordered 4/8, shipped 27/8. We shall see how long it takes to surface in Australia. Guess I'm the bad guy, sorry everyone.

Feel really bad about P500ing FitL now because it looks like it cost GMT $64 to ship it to Australia via UPS. I paid $74 for it. Might wait till it hits my FLGS next time.

It was similar, some old beardy guy who makes dice explaining why his ones were better than the cheap chessex ones with rounded edges and he had some whacky shaped Dsomething dice that he had invented with some university doctor or something. Thanks though.

I'm on a bit of a Roman binge. Does anyone have an opinion on Pax Romana? I'm kind of after something that plays more that 2. Maybe I should just wait for the COIN game.

Just a reminder that some Polish company is going to Kickstarter a new edition of Hannibal in the next couple of months. http://www.phalanxgames.pl/en/2016/03/04/hannibal-rome-vs-carthage/ https://www.facebook.com/HannibalGame/ I have the Valley Games edition and it's fine. The jigsaw board is a little lame though. dishwasherlove fucked around with this message at 01:28 on Sep 9, 2016 |

Speaking of Empire of the Sun, has anyone checked out Plan Orange? From what I hear it's a good intro to EotS proper. Looked at buying C3i magazine but postage is killer to Australia from Amazon.

Sword of Rome, a card driven asymmetrical precursor to the COIN series, also has neutral races that can be controlled by any player with the correct card.

That impulse buying a game which you think is interesting, may be out of print soon, but deep down in your heart you know you will probably never play it. Did I really need a 4th COIN game? Of course I did.

Well no one knows because it's not out yet. InsideGMT has a few design articles talking about adapting COIN for two players. Looks promising I guess.

Seems pretty split between 2.5 and 2mm from what I read. 2mm might be a little small for games with large chits. I can't believe I am even considering importing one.

Depends on what you mean by Wargame. The COIN games are pretty well recommended but it's blocks on map not WWII hexes. Sword of Rome plays up to 5 but is pretty lengthy. Hear good things about Maria but haven't played it. Also want to know if Triumph and Tragedy is any good. And there is another full world multiplayer WWII game being designed whose name escapes me.
