Killing time at work - Tithe.
I'm finding it hard to concentrate on the mundane at my job while all of my mental focus is on the interview I have early tomorrow morning for a MUCH better job!

I am thinking about getting WIF board game. Anyone have anything to say about this? I have seen some different (better) maps, and can't figure out the difference in version I guess. I understand this game board is massive, which isn't a problem. Planning on making everything a magnet..
jeffk3510, I played WIF 5th Edition in the mid 90's. Played with Ships in Flames (every WWII ship of heavy cruiser and higher), Planes in Flames, Asia in Flames and Africa in Flames add ons. The game was quite simply the best gaming experience I have ever had. The game is colourful (counters look great - NATO symbols for land, silhouettes for ships, and full colour camoflague silhouettes for the aircraft), is great fun, while giving each player (major power) a real feel for what that power was faced with historically (e.g. Commonwealth - large but hard pressed navy, small, but mobile army, some great aircraft and a billion fires to quell spread all over the globe). There are a few set rules to give an historical background to the game (e.g.Germany must invade Poland first turn, France and CW must then declare war on Germany etc) but apart from these and a few more, each game can take a myriad of paths. There are also loads of optional rules to suit.
Since I stopped playing - family, work and more importantly, space commitments, not a lack of love for the game - ADG brought out another version as well as a few more add ons. I must say I am no lover of the latest maps - a bit garish imo - but if I had the time and space, that would not stop me from playing again. I cannot wait for MWIF to come out - whenever that is - and just in case circumstances ever allow, I still have the latest version of the game and all add-ons in mint condition ready to be cut out and used!
I certainly recommend giving the game a go.

Yessirree...we'd be happy to vouch for your personality Mike. Just give us the contact names and phone numbers of your prospective boss(es) and let us take care of the rest, mate. I can't imagine that they WOULDN'T like Lacrimosa, for example...[:D]ORIGINAL: USS America
Thanks for all the well wishes, Brothers! The interview went fantastic this morning! [:)]
The job sounds like a great fit for me, I am a great fit for the job, and the company and people seem like a whole lot of fun. Before I even got home to change the interviewing manager had called the recruiter to find out when they can bring me in to meet the rest of the entire team. Work environment and culture are a very big thing for them, so they want to make sure I'm a good fit with the other personalities there. After putting up with the personalities here, I can't imagine it will be any trouble at all at this job. [:'(] [:D]
The details are already worked out, and I'm going for the 3rd stage tomorrow at 1 PM. [8D]

I really appreciate that information. I figure you would chime in, I remember your picture under you name.
Thanks. I will probably be asking some more questions.
