Peter Riedlberger (Germany) sent me the URL for an interesting essay on the faults of Risk-like games: http://www.westpark-gamers.de/Artikel/riskfaults.html.
Peter is a big fan of Britannia, so how could he be wrong?
I have pointed PulsipherGames.com to the same site as Pulsipher.Net, for the time being.
I found a source for History of the World army pieces (SVGames, online), so that I can use them for playtesting Germania(tm) at conventions.
I intend to be at PrezCon in Charlottesville on the last weekend of February. I will not be playing in any tournaments, of course (I never have, at conventions). I expect to have Germania(tm) prototypes, and perhaps something else.

https://www.patreon.com/LewisPulsipher I have finally created a Patreon page to support my YouTube channel and blogging. For those who don't know, Patreon is much like Kickstarter insofar as it enables individuals to support worthwhile projects. But unlike Kickstarter, this is continuing, monthly, support (at a level as low as $1 a month).
