[Paul]

Will they capture the large can of coke or will they be beaten back!!

That´s one impressive looking red wedge.........

[T. Dürrschmidt]

Massive! No wonder you need a gym to store all this stuff.

[Peter]

Very impressive Reminds me on Crisis in Antwerp

Big P, let them come those pictures

[Wheeling Turn]

very impressing game, which rules do you use???

[ModernKiwi]

Moved to the gaming section

Very impressive layout. To me the even more impressive bit is the absence of laptops everywhere. Nowadays when I game, it seems like everyone has one of the damn things open in front of them.

As for the coke, well you've got to have game fuel and lots of it.

[big p from gmg]
