------> So they're making a whole new version with 100% incompatible
rules changing the way minis are based and issuing all new versions of
things you already had models for?

-------> I'll be waiting to see how much "new" material comes out for
it, or if they just reissue-drop, reissue-drop different games every
year...

-------> This can't be the case. Can anyone really ever have too many
games? No time to play them, sure, but someday you might suddenly get
large quantities of time at exactly the same time as your friends, and
then, what would you do if you didn't have something to fill the days? :

(We can dream, anyway. I remember High School & College - all kinds of
time , not enough money. Now I have some money -never enough- but no
time. I have a lot of damn mini's though now, HA HA, many with very low
mileage...)

What? Cardboard? Are you some kind of heretic? What if it rains - those
nifty little cardboard pieces are dead! You must use metal!, though I
agree with the buying it cheap portion of your statement. All for
that...
