Don't forget to tell them about how I kicked your *s* the third game. We can forget all about the second game, okay?

To be sure! In fact, the US has not done its job if the Soviet player fails to flip him the sickle.

I got the rare double bird a couple of days ago when I gammoned my wife with the doubling cube at 4.

Any victory without getting the bird from her might as well be a tie.

I am so glad to hear another guy say this. I'm not alone anymore!! I teach my girl something new (regadless of what - though next up is ASL! Then we'll seedevil ) & she completely wipes the floor with me!!cryblush

(Thinks to himself)
"All this time I thought I was alone." "Hi my name is Pete, and I lose all games to my woman." "Hi, Pete."

I always wanted a woman to play to play (board) games, maybe those other games are better, but I'll keep her. (Assuming she doesn't get rid of me!!!

excelent photo!

Ideally, each side should have two colors of dice, one color for uncontrolled countries and another color for controlled. Controlling a country is more common, so more dice are needed in the control color. I would say 30 for the uncontrolled color and 50 for controlled is sufficient. There are 84 total countries on the map.

That's right. A friend has done it with 12mm dice instead of the standard 16mm. Those are less expensive and less bulky.

&%$#! Does anyone want an opened and punched 2nd Edition???

This is the third time this has happened to me, after LNOE and Lock n Load Band of Heroes.

I wonder if they'll let us buy the mounted board for a reasonable price?
