Postman bought me three parcels yesterday.
One was Pitchcar, from Imagination Gaming. This is the game I won from them for completing their comments slip at the UK Games Expo.
It is perhaps one of the heaviest games I own - physically, that is. Rivals Z-man's War of the Roses. Anyway, had it all set up for when the kids came home, and we had a blast. Played about five four or three player games in the space of an hour - laughs and groans all around as we attempted to out pace each other around the tracks. Very simple to play, and great fun.
Next two parcels were from the Treefrog games sale. Hadn't planned on buying them, but as they were such a good price (Treefrog are selling up in the UK and moving to NZ), I had to get them a part of my Martin Wallace Collection. I got London, and Age of Industry. Just had an unwrapping look at them, and the components look good quality with decent, if not fantastic, artwork. Mapboard for London looks very impressive.
Will attempt to learn these two over the next few months, but given the summer nights will probably be Autumn before I get it done.
Also had an additional parcel from Total Wargamer - my John Henry flying Robots for Dystopian Wars. These will take my Federated States of America naval force unto a respectable 1000 points. Not planning on going beyond this, as my core forces are Kingdom of Britannia and Empire of the Blazing Sun. However, the upcoming release from Spartan Games - Hurricane Season - may change this
