I do not need sixteen pounds of "light" wargame I will never get to play.

Heck, I already own well over sixteen pounds of OTHER "light" wargame I will never get to play.

But... I can put the box up on the top of the gameshelves where they meet at a corner and there's a dead space where things are likely to fall between them and be trapped forever, and it would block that off nicely. And it is an awfully pretty edition.

... I do not need sixteen hundred cubic inches of "light" wargame I will never get to play, not when I already have 2,150 cubic inches of "light" wargame I will never get to play.

ETA: in wholly unrelated news, sticking one's metaphorical pinkie in a metaphorical open flame still produces real burns. At least I know to pull back quickly and not put my entire hand in the fire.

Oh, but it's so expensive! I went through much the same thought process you did, only replace C&C with Space Hulk.

I got singed a little bit today too, by choosing the "wrong" license for some code I released. I'll probably write about it tonight, unless, you know, anything more interesting to do comes along.

Turns out it's *crazy* expensive for Canuckistan, and the only thing I gain by Kickstarting vs ordering from my FLGS is early shipping plus an exclusive counter sheet. Which, yeah, I'm all about the green Ogres, but I don't think I'm all about them to the tune of an extra $50. Eh. I've got a couple weeks to make that call.

I mustn't order Ogre. I mustn't. I've already spent a truly ridiculous amount of money on something this week. Let's call it Secret Project Goop.

[rbandrews]

Bah. 13 days left. By the time it finishes it'll be a new month and a new quantity of must-spend-on-myself homework money... Screw it, the card-construction OGREs look awesome, I'm doing it.

You, sir, are a bad influence.

[jazzfish]

You're welcome! :)

Did you have to dig out a measuring tape and go measure C&C? :)

[jazzfish]

... maybe. :) (I did *not* dig out a scale and weigh it, I'm just guessing there.)

[notyourwendy]

Ok, now I'm curious,

I had totally talked myself out of that game.

Then like six of my friends said, "Oh hell yeah, we'll play that with you if you get it."

So, we'll see.

Jeez, at that point I'd buy it, no question. The biggest lack in my post-Bleaksburg gaming life has been a light-wargaming partner. Not that I had much of one in B'burg, but it went from "seldom" to "never" when I left.
