Ok, guys, let's take a chill pill. The one thing I didn't include in my "gaming budget" is the research material (books & documentaries) that I buy as accessories to the game itself. I already have an extensive military history library, inspired in part by games I've collected over the last 35 years.

So, after I bought BOA2, I'm looking for some books to deepen my understanding of the game's time frame.

Just to make this clear, I spend much more money on "accessories" than I do on games. I don't own hundreds of games, but I DO own hundreds of books & movies. I come from the 1960s "Jim Dunnigan school" of games being as much educational tools as simply something to do for fun.

I'd believe that many veteran wargamers fall into this category.

Of course, this being an all-ages, family-oriented site, I won't tell you where she would put that umbrella if she happened to read this post...[X(]

But ... but ... if you stick it *there* it won't protect you from the rain ! Uh ... oh ... <penny dropping> [;)]
