To celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary, my wife bought me a copy of Festung Budapest. I of course did all the ordering, because my lovely wife only tolerates my love of ASL, she had no clue where to purchase such a thing. Now I spent some time thinking about it as well. My first thought was to just log on to MMP and buy it there as I have so many things in the past.
But then my eye caught my Knights Cross precision die that I received with an Ebay purchase of Pegasus Bridge a year or so ago. At the time of the purchase, I did not know anything about ASL Battleschool or Sitrep, but I loved the die and the personal touch of including that die with my purchase.
Then I started this blog and began following other blogs, like ASL Battleschool and lo and behold there were those wonderful precision dice again. And I thought to myself, what a small world.
So, I was really excited to be able to purchase Festung Budapest from Sitrep and grab the beautiful Budapack of BattleDice that I have been eyeing these past many months.
So you can imagine my joy this morning as I saw a recently arrived box from Canada on the front porch. I have purchased many ASL products over the past three decades, but I must say Festung Budapest takes it to a whole new level. Gorgeous maps, 9 counter sheets....9...holy cow, I will need new bins just for the counters in this game!!!
So that's enough blogging...I need to get to Wal-Mart and grab some more plastic bins, because it will be a long day of exploring my new copy of Festung Budapest.
I can only imagine what ASL expansion I'll be getting for my 50th Wedding Anniversary!!! Cause I know that if I'm still breathing then, I will still be married to the same wonderful gal and I will definitely still be playing ASL...so you dudes in the rest home get ready...cause we're going to be letting lose some nebelwerfers in the common area...it could get messy!!!
Just noticed this today. Thank you for the kind words and your patronage. Perhaps you will find an "Airborne" die in the mail some day. ;)
