Games on my radar

This is a glorified wishlist.
I rank them by want, and I'll keep it updated.
A lot of games, I take a "Wait and see" approach, so any feedback (good or bad) is appreciated.
Here are my definitions:
Level 1: Going to be on the next Coolstuff or NWS order!
Level 2: Has a strong chance of jumping up on the next order or has an outside chance of making the next order. If it is unreleased, all I need is a release and a couple of good comments to order it.
Level 3: Very interested. Have a few lingering questions.
Level 4: Take it or leave it. Many questions. Not a high priority. If the right offer comes along, I'll take a look.
Level 5: I'll keep it on the radar for a rainy day. I'll get around to looking more at it, or I'm waiting on a VASSAL module to come out. I keep it on the wishlist only so I don't forget about it.
I'll make it a living list, so feel free to subscribe and comment often. Be one of those bad influences that make me spend my money.

ACQUIRED
I played it once and kind of liked it. From a realism standpoint, it was flat-out silly. This is NOT how the Constitution came to be. This is a Euro where you match symbols and collect tokens for victory points.
But I'm an 18th century U.S. history dork, so I liked the razor-thin "theme" and the history on the cards.
Because it requires 3+ players and my children are WAY too young for it, It's not a high priority. If the right trade offer came along or if it was a good price, I may buy it and put it on the shelf for a few years.
Update: I traded for it. Woo Hoo!

PURCHASED:
I like block games. I have Asia Engulfed. I want to play it first to see if I like the system. It's pretty pricey, so I need to see its practicality (especially VASSAL capability).
Update: The more I got into Asia Engulfed, the more appealing this became, so I found it on the Geek Marketplace for a great price and pulled the trigger.

PURCHASED!!!
I had no interest in this game 2 months ago. I never even HEARD of it, and WWII/Eastern front has never been a big area of interest to me before.
Then I made a Geeklist for the 10 Best "new to you" games of 2011, and a whole bunch of highly respected wargamers listed this as the best new game of the year (or it made their top 10). These are folks whose opinions I respect. So that immediately caught my eye and the more I started looking into this game, the more appealing it got.

PURCHASED:
This one caught my eye awhile back. Being an ancients-based card driven game, made it appealing. Normally, it would have lingered at level 3, but when I bought Europe Engulfed on Geek Marketplace, the seller had this for a great price and combined shipping, so I threw caution to the wind.
