Mark's review is done entirely from the ebay listings, though. ...so I guess I just have to bite the bullet at some point.
I appreciate the offer, though, Buck. I may take you up on it at some point - i.e. if I think of a specific question or two, I may fire something off your way. Good to have experienced gamers like you around.
Mike, no problem, though I think we have had exchanges on these in the past. I'm not an experienced gamer, just a guy who had a couple hundred dollars in his checking account at the right (umm wrong!?!?) time. These modules are pretty much exactly what they appear to be. They aren't Andy H's work in the Operation Chariot module (I spent four hours looking over Chariot's scenarios/maps/rules last night WOW! I hope it plays half as good as it looks; Pat, no Vietnam river boats so you probably should keep with Jay R's SK tutorials for now; btw I really did enjoy playing Platoon in college, so I think that is a game you should buy cheap on ebay; I still keep my copy on my game shelf, not in off-site storage with the majority of my games, maybe I'll bring it with me on my next trip to Chi-town to do cardboard battle with my new gaming partner!) , or like the well-produced material from BF, HOB, CH or MMP. These are never going to be tourney sensations, but are definitely thoughtful pieces of work and interesting reads. I'm happy with the purchases and I hope to pick up some more, when the budget allows it. I didn't win any of the sets last week -- too many summer camp balances due!! I suspect threads like this are increasing demand, so if you and Pat really want to buy one, I would recommend stop advertising them and/or announcing to the ASL world that another one is on ebay and keeping a running total of the current bid!! Note: my posts probably will run up the bidding out of my own range!! Not sure if my offer to answer Pat's module questions off-line was worth this series of internet blather. I was surprisingly amused by the "you should review or blog for the good of the ASL community" line, I must be mellowing. But every six months I have to re-learn how un-satisfying posting on gamesquad often is, at least this time my cyber buddy Marcus didn't call me a liar!!!
see you in six months!!
