Some exciting news in todays newsletter of Worthington Publishing. There will be a deluxe edition of the old Victory Point Games title Malta Besieged: 1940-1942. Which is a much sought after States of Siege game.
Now let's hope Carey signed a deal with Worthington, and We Must Tell The Emperor is up next.
Are all of those State of Seige Victory Point games the same size? Would this one be bigger because it's the deluxe version?
Oops, I think I misspelled Siege. 😪
This is not the old Victory Point Games small 'pizza box' anymore. Those are gone along with the original VPG. I haven't seen Worthington's boxes but they should be bigger.
Oh... I was likin the idea of have a "set" (size-wise), like the Oniverse ones (except for Urbion). You're probably familiar with the ol' 3M Bookshelf series. Kinda cool. They stack more efficiently, too. Since I'm big into symmetry; that stuff appeals to me. 🙂
You could start a Worthington deluxe VPG-reprints set...
- In Magnificent Style
- Soviet Dawn
- Keep up the Fire
- Malta Besieged
(with hopefully more to come).
That could be a plan, JW. I’ve been becoming more interested in State of Siege games after I played Mound Builders and Zulus a few times. Initially, I thought they looked more like a homework assignment than anything that would be fun. Which I suppose I still do. 🙂 I prefer many art styles, but these aren’t them. I’m into ‘eye candy’. 🙂 Well, war isn’t pretty. However, with these games I’m mentally puttin’ on my Patton helmet and engaging in a strategical and tactical, non-fantasy, historical military battle. I don’t think they’d ever become my favorite genre, but they are growin’ on me, for sure.
