WinterWar was this past weekend, and it's too bad I didn't know I'd be at a lull point of my thesis progress. If I had known I'd have so much time, I'd have signed up to run a few events. I did manage to play in the Warmachine tournament on Saturday. Apart from having to sit for about 4 hours before I got to play due to having a bye in the first round, it was a good time.

Has anyone tried it yet? I just picked up a copy of it yesterday, so haven't had a chance to play yet. I like the box design. It's not just a big empty box holding a deck of cards, it's a carrying case for the game, and it's designed with the game play instructions right on the box.

Here's what the Privateer Press website says:

I am very much inclined to like Privateer Press for many reasons, great games, wonderful customer service, high quality metal minis, and last but certainly not least, the Page 5 philosophy. It's what really won me over to Warmachine.

Now at first glance the Page 5 philosophy feels a bit misogynistic, and makes Warmachine out to be a boys only club.
