Panzeh posted:G*C*ACW, GBACW's different. Er, that was a typo, but I still didn't realize GCACW had gotten so big. I played all the old Avalon Hill games and thought most of the MMP ones were just re-releases. edit-- which I guess they SORT OF are, but looking closer they have new content, so they still count. And that count of 14 does not actually include the magazine releases!

Panzeh posted:Yeah, so i think MMP's new releases are Atlanta, Chickamauga/Chattanooga, Hood in Tenessee, All Green Alike, Petersburg, and now Vicksburg, some of which are released with old stuff. Yep, looks like that's all correct. Maybe the new Vicksburg game will include sort of that old stuff, like they did with On To Richmond II. AH: Stonewall Jackson's Way Here Come the Rebels Roads to Gettysburg Stonewall in the Valley Stonewall's Last Battle On to Richmond MMP: Grant Takes Command Battle Above the Clouds (Chickamauga/Chattanooga) Stonewall Jackson's Way II Atlanta is Ours Roads to Gettysburg II Hood Strikes North (Tennessee) On to Richmond II (includes Grant Takes Command and Petersburg) Thunder on the Mississippi (Vicksburg)

Lord help me I'm looking back through my posts in here and I might start up my ASL collection again... Keeping an eye out for a cheap 3rd edition Beyond Valor   can't believe I had all that plus the new Yanks plus Hakkaa Paalle and a bunch of other stuff at one point.

MMP is running a big bagged game sale, and I missed most everything, but I picked up a copy of The Greatest Day which I've wanted for years for $100 hell yeah. Do I have room to play it? I do not. But I don't care.

tomdidiot posted:TBh, I don't think people actually play the full game - but it has lots of scenarios that will fit on a reasonably sized gaming table and are good fun. I figure that's basically the case with 90% of monster games. It's all single map or part-of map scenarios unless you're at a convention or something. Hell, I have the whole Der Weltkrieg set and set up all the maps once just to look at it, but other than that I've never played more than a couple tiny scenarios. Oh no now I'm feeling the DW pull again, which means I'm feeling the World in Flames pull. The slippery slope is sloping...

Tekopo posted:The GTS LP of Saar is done, with a decivise American victory! My copy of Greatest Day: SJ&G is coming today, and I'm really excited to dig into it. I feel like it hits that sweet spot between operational (but not OCS level because I hate ferrying around supply chits) and tactical. Once GTS starts putting out eastern front games I'm done for.

tomdidiot posted:GTS stuff This is good info thanks! Ugh, I haven't even punched GJS, I don't need Utah, but I want it... Any thoughts on the CSS system? I generally avoid Compass Games because they tend to be errata filled messes, but if it's the same designer that's tempting.

Ugh, okay well I'm not surprised at least. Compass and Decision are two publishers I will rarely touch for those reasons. I do love that MMP is so free with their rulebooks and such online, I'll have to go peruse the other GTS games since I'm also keen on Bastogne and maybe the Market Garden one that's up for reprint. Mercury looks fun too. UGH.

tomdidiot posted:I really wouldn't do Mercury as a first GTS. The Greeks add too much chrome, and the two sides are too asymmetrical. I'd go through the non-landing SJG missions and Saar first. Oh sure, I'm talking way in the future. SJG is my only GTS for the near future, until my preorder for Utah comes, which I know will be a while.

Just saw on Facebook that Dean Essig passed away. For those that don't know, he was the founder of The Gamers and had a hand in designing SCS, TCS, OCS, BCS... heck, name a Multiman Publishing game system and he probably helped design it. Thankful to him for many, MANY hours of enjoyment.

What's your favorite meaty, complex Eastern front operational game or series that I can play single map or less-than-single map scenarios from solo? Is OCS still the king of that? How is it compared to EFS from GMT?

Good advice - one of the draws of the system is the linkability, I know that Crimea and Third Winter are eventually going to be part of the huge combined 1943 East Front campaign game (after like 3-4 more releases). I'm tempted by those for that reason alone. I think I might go with Crimea and see where that lands with me. Thanks!

Ha! I forgot I helped Chas with some proofing stuff on Croix de Guerre, and I just discovered that there's a 9-1 Free French leader with my (very uncommon) last name on.
