Renaissance -- I am now printing the rules to study on the train. Need to race to get this month's turn in.
Victory! -- Got confirmation that I am running Bulgaria. On the game forum, someone posted a map with the player positions colored in. holy crap. I am surrounded by larger, fiercer enemies with no nearby lebensraum. I'm going to have to put my diplomacy hat on, big time. And the rules -- Bob, you weren't kidding when you said there was no comparison with Battle Plan! This is basically along the lines of those old "monster games" that took 1000 hours to play. And I'm on a deadline for THAT one, too. I think I have 2 days to get my first turn put together. It will most likely be an early bloodbath, but I will game-log it here to the hilt and see how much fun I can have with it...
