Anything Free League makes for this line I will buy. Will I ever play the game? probably not. But the sandbox nature of the supplements, mixed with the fact they come in boxes with lots of goodies makes them irresistible.
Having all three maps connect is a great bonus as well. I likely need a giant tactical megamap of eastern Europe in a fictional year 2000 and just didn't know it until now.

I wish I had the space to accommodate buying things I won't use. This and several other Free League games are among the most beautiful releases I've ever seen.
