Yup,

 

I would have suggested this one too (it´s on my list), but since it appears on the "Wargame Memories" web page (T-Shirts), I though you would be aware of this one :)

 

@Ssnake @dpabrams

Thanks for the mug references!

 

The main problem is shipping.  Although I tried to find the shipping cost to EU at both sites, I would Imagen between €7-10.  So your buying a mug for around €30 with out a HiFi system and/or central heating!  At the shop I get my printing done, they offer same service for €20 a mug.  It´s only worth it (online) if you order more stuff from the store, or you really want "that" artwork.  Merchandising comes expensive, see Formula 1...

 

The other problem is the wify calling me "Sheldon" :D

GDW's "The Third World War."

Oh, thanks for the memories! I played these ones excessively back in those years, beside Assault series , Gulf Strike, Aegean Strike, 2nd Fleet, 6th Fleet, and Flight Leader. Still have them, though stored away in the basement.

 

It were good times back then.  And many things indeed felt better. And we were younger. :D

Good one!

 

I was just about to suggest GDW "Assault Tactical Combat Europe", or "Boots & Saddles" from the same series (my avatar).  I have both incoming this week along with GDW "Sands of Storm".  There is a great fan site behind the Assault series, with user-made stuff and advanced rules:

MJL (Captain Lion) has some great videos on his channel, once a RL Bradley leader...

As a side note...

 

This is a clean install, so it will not update via de usual way (check for updates).  You have to un-install your original version, download v2.00 from your "my products" section, install with your S/N and off you go!  Do not try to update V2.00 via "check-updates", it will revert back to v1.02 again.

 

 

Nice stuff :)

Continuing with my Tannenberg Battle replays....

This first one is 1914:The Cossack's are Coming by BRO games. After taking a couple days to get it ready playing it with teh space allotted was difficult, as it's a complex game and I was just learning it. The rules are a bit dense to get through but I like the scale and various aspects of it.After a few "cat" attacks I decided to shelve it till my new Dining room/Secret gaming table is complete.

Currently I am playing Tannenberg by Schroeder Wargame publishing. This is theh introductory game of Der Weltkreig Series. It plays quicker, units are divisions and brigades. I liked it enough that I bought the rest of the games in the series (He does all of WW1 at the division level.)

Meanwhile I am listening to this on Audible: 

https://www.audible.com/pd/History/Collision-of-Empires-Audiobook/B07884Z438?ref=a_a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1&pf_rd_p=e81b7c27-6880-467a-b5a7-13cef5d729fe&pf_rd_r=M6Q09JYTXTDNC0CFTAXM&

 

Collision of Empires, which is a perfect companion to a wargamer's exploration of Tanneberg and WW1 Eastern Front.
