Play? I Ain’t Got Time to Play.


BREAK BREAK BREAK

SITREP 20230705 1631ZT:

1. 1985:Under an Iron Sky resisted the enemy assault for 23 minutes, 1985:Sacred Oil heroically stood for 60 minutes. There are no survivors.
2. US POMCUS for Less Than 60 Miles 2nd Echelon has been overran.
3. The remaining copies of ย Less Than 60 Miles 2nd Echelonย will be shipped from FRANCE.

END


Since Thin Red Line Games started, I’ve had this insane habit to keep some copies in “strategic reserve” for any eventuality: SACEUR asking one to decorate his office, sudden collapse of the frontline, conventions….you never know!

This kind of behaviour has been sometime criticized, as just a few days after you’ve paid 400 bucks for a 1985:Under an Iron Sky copy on the private market, I suddenly announce that there’s “some reserve copies available”…Of course, at 4AM in your time zone.

In short, I’m a pain in the ass…and here’s another chance to prove it beyond any possible doubt! Sorry for that ๐Ÿ™‚

I’ve finally realized that the time I can dedicate to conventions is very limited, so there’s no point in keeping several copies aside for similar events. Therefore, I’ve just committed the following to the FEBA:

There’s just a few copies, I hope they will be still there when you read this….and Please be aware that everything will be airlifted from Europe, so it’s not going to be cheap for US and Canada!

  15. I’m holding out for the full Mutually Assured Destruction, combining all three games into one monster. TRL did mention in the past that they might be doing this in the future, and I’m ready to commit all reserve echelon forces to this objective time now.
