" I Say ...............Uh Saaaay ! "................
30 Books.............I got this for a reasonable price in a second hand bookstore - I have seen it for twice as much and a bit on E-Bay - ( as new condition ).
Big grin on my face ..........this is really the crowning glory of my Napoleonic book collection.......425 large glossy pages of Waterloobilia..........the army orders of battle are luxury material along with the superimposed unit movements on modern field photos.....They will have to prise it from my dead cold hands, one day, along with Atlantic Wall....

.................................................................... Looooooooove it !..................
This particular bookstore is being very generous - a brand new copy of the below at a quarter of the retail price............it is not a desperate buy but I was impressed with the color plate pics and battle maps and being published in 2005.....clinched the purchase.
31 Books.

GMT's Pacific War game............New Version.
When the temptation is strong..............this ticks a lot of boxes but the operational upper level is still making me 50/50. This video could give the extra point to make it 51 to 49 which just could be good enough.........difficult to make up my mind.
Heavy box.....loads of counters ....complexity level 9 ...........20 phases of play...........80 Japanese task forces capability org sheet......lots of rules and scenario booklets.............Day and month sequence display charts............all capital ships included .....down to battalion level with land forces.................even reading comments does not help.
Since playing Hearts of Iron 3 Japanese Campaign.......the interest is there for a board game treatment.
It's like Nagumo at Midway.......finding the Yorktown Carrier.............should I or shouldn't I strike with all out force to the North.
Dammit !..........................Monster game but a chunky price...................maybe I should roll a die....

Originally an SPI game ???????????????.......
