wrong thread "wargamers" only.

I'm here.

John Tiller fan from the 90's.

Still playing the Campaign Series from Matrix games and currently playing John's Squad Battles.

Yeah Grigsby's game looks awesome.

But won't be able to get to it for a while, also play his battleground series, currently playing a Waterloo turn-by-email game with someone on the blitz, so that makes 3 John Tiller games I'm currently making turns on with opponents every week.

btw, what a great opening Title clip for this game!
