Chris Brooks - GMT In-Stock and P500 Order

Monday, November 26, 2007

It sure is hard to resist GMT Games' annual in-stock discount. After chatting with Mike Deans yesterday afternoon I placed my in-stock order, plus added a few P500 reprints to my list after hoping they too were in stock. What I really wanted to just buy was Ardennes '44 and Wilderness War, but alas they are out of print so I went ahead and P500'd them. They both appear to be a long ways from a reprint.

So what to order at 50% off? I opted for Downtown and For the People. Downtown covers a theater I've never played before (Vietname) and For the People is a well regarded (by most) card-driven game.

I picked up FtP when it went through the P500 reprint cycle last year. Now that I have a couple of Hannibal plays under my belt, it's time to take another look at this one!

I took advantage of the 50% discount on Combat Commander: Europe. I should have tried to get Conquest of the Pacific too. Oh well.

I've thought about getting FtP on this sale, but that's a damn big game - I've owned it before but haven't felt the urge to get it again. Of course, I'm considering 1914 instead, so I've got nothing to say about big games.

For my other game, I'm torn between Downtown and Burning Blue. I'll probably get the latter as Vietnam really doesn't interest me a whole lot.

It's getting tougher to take advantage of these sales, as I'm running out of GMT games I don't own that Richard Berg didn't design.
