Great timing too - as I just wrote a large check to Uncle Sam last night. I got home  from work and saw a thick envelope from the IRS. Lo and behold, after throwing a mini nervous breakdown/temper tantrum, I realized I didn't include my Army retirement income for 2008's return. Why I didn't, I can't recall, but I thought I did. I had used Turbo-Tax for the first time and was probably on a role and thought the retirement income went on a separate line - it was the first year I received the retirement too. Anyway, I luckily have a great fiduciary - my wife - and we have a good amount saved up for emergencies. I kept repeating , "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's," and actually felt better. Oh, and it's my wife's birthday on Saturday - Happy B'Day, Honey! I also need to pick up another bottle of Vallejo Black Ink/Stain and hex bases from  The Game Matrix in Tacoma .

  1. Sorry to hear about your turbo tax woes, perhaps you and Tim Geithner can exchange notes on using the product

    My son has just gotten into playing Warhammer fantasy - are those rules similar to the Warhammer Ancient battles that have just been revised? If they're closely related, I'll pick up a set and build a historical army to see if I can lure him back to the true path of historical gaming. Besides, I have looking for an excuse to justify building out an Roman army from Warlord.

  2. Hehehe - yeah, I must be destined for top-government jobs.

    From what I've gathered on all the reviews so far - it is just like WAB 1.5 (or 1.0) which was based on WFB in the first place. It does, I believe, "clean up" loose-end/gray areas. Also, WAB guys generally frowned on the "magic" stuff in the fantasy rules. So, your son should have no problem playing the rules - unless he enjoys the fantasy portion more. I think it's reason enough for you to build a Roman army. Regards, Dean
