Thx for pointing that out. I just preordered it. I visit your blog every day and Iam amazed how both our tastes for wargames match. I nearly everytime concur with your opinion. And Iam amazed that I nearly own all the same books as you. The ones in your bookshelf ad. Forgive my bad english as Iam german. Greets

Ey Seydlitz,

Thanks for your comment.

I haven't played an AGEOD game since the American Civil War one. This one I can't resist because of the topic ... It looks like AGEOD made some dramatic changes in some areas. BTW, did you know that Paradox bought AGEOD a few months ago?

I'm glad you find the blog interesting. Great minds think alike! :) (just kidding)

Cheers,

P/S: your english is great.

Thx for your kind words.

I didnt knew that AGEOD was bought by Paradox.

Same here. I also couldnt resist because of the topic. 2 years ago I visited Potsdam and went to Sans Soucis. Its all preserved as if Friedrich were still living there. I gazed in awe when they showed us the chair in which he died. That day I fell in love with Prussian history. But I think you already guessed that by my username :-)

Hi Seydlitz,

The topic is very interesting. Good for you on that tour, man! Have you played Horse and Musket: Prussia's Glory?

Cheers,

Yes already own that. But somehow I just cant get into this game. Maybe I should give it another try.
