Hi everyone, I love TW games, fell for Shogun II and have been big fan ever since.

Started on Avalon Hill hex/counter boardgames in late 60's. Saved many a weeks paper route money to buy the games at the then super steep price tags of $6.98 and $7.98. Spent many happy hours with Bismarck, Blitzkrieg, Panzer Blitz, Panzer Leader, Stalingrad, Luftwaffe and France 40. Anyone remember those? Have never stopped gaming, here I am.

Shogun II to me was a turning point in that it was perfectly balanced for epic gameplay. You couldnt just paint map with your color, just when you got a little too powerful, at exact tipping point (dont know how game got this right) all the other clans turned against you. And, new game.

Rome II has same mechanic with Imperium. Currently over 1,000 hours with Iceni. Now.....I play slowly. Carefully. Like chess, but love it that way. Everything counts.

OK, look forward to many happy discussions out here!
