Flak buys a clue! was Re: Geohex

I recently had to bow out of the Fighter discussion because I don't own
anything but the basic rules and this sale give me no further excuse...

*cue fanfare*

I have bought myself a clue regarding discussions of GZG games. Geohex's sale
of the rulebooks a 50% has prompted me to buy FB1, FB2,
Dirtside and StarGruntII.  (I also bought some jr Miniatures' 1/285th
buildings, but that's neither here nor there.)

I'll be reading much in the upcoming weeks and then trying to drum up a bunch
of players to give the games a go... How many times do you think I'll have to
say "But you can use your [Evil Empire] models IN THIS GAME! Look, I've
already made stats for them!"?

On the downside... my wife might see the bank statement for this little
transaction... *sigh* Women, can't spend haphazardly with 'em, can't
perpetuate the species without 'em. (Though who'd really ever want to try
having a world without 'em?)

You might try the tactic I took: "Sweetie, when a box shows up at the door,
it's either a couple of minis I ordered, or it's the computer you've been
asking for."

They're being delivered to work... both so I can drool over them instead of
deciphering unix scripts, and to provide a level of presentation of the
purchase on my terms instead of the mailwoman's...

I'm looking forward to the Dirtside rules more than anything in all reality.
