So, I have put it in my head that I need to amass a library of wargame books. I have a pretty decent collection of books already, and I am trying to fill in a few blanks (well, quite a few. ). I am only interested in the core rulebooks, not any expansions that may have been released (such as faction books, books full of scenarios, etc). Why in the world do I want all of these? Just cuz I can.

I don't have lots of money to spend. With shipping, I've been trying to keep it around $10 per book. I know that isn't everyone's cup of tea, and some people's books ARE worth more than approximately $5. That's cool. I get it. I'm just trying to get those books from people that are tired of having them sit around and want Taco Bell lunch money for them.

Anyways, here is my list of books I am looking for, in no particular order:

Games Workshop

• Warhammer Epic
• Battlefleet Gothic
• Blood Bowl
• Gorkamorka
• Inquisitor

I-Kore

• Celtos

Ambush Alley Games

• Force on Force

Spartan Games

• Uncharted Seas
• Firestorm Armada
• Dystopian Wars

Mongoose Publishing

• A Call To Arms: Starfleet
• A Call To Arms: Noble Armada
• Judge Dredd
• Victory At Sea
• Battlefield Evolution

Target Games/Excelsior Entertainment

• Chronopia

If anyone has any of these they are willing to sell and ship to me, please PM me and we'll discuss it from there. Thanks for playing!

Are you looking for the current editions or are you looking for older editions just to fill the space with? Older editions I might be willing to part with for that kind of money. Some of those are way to popular right now or are just plain collectible at this point. I won't let go of my copy of Inquisitor until someone can pry it from my cold dead hands.

Older editions are fine. Occassionally a company will completely redo the way their game system works. Warlord was pretty close to that when they rebooted with "2.0". I'm not looking to have an updated-to-the minute collection. My Warhammer Fantasy and 40K rulebooks are least a revision old (if not 2 by now!). Most of the time the basic way the game plays stays the same. I just like reading through them and comparing one game to another.

And yes, some of them are collectible, I know that. But, if your copy of Inquisitor was missing it's cover, you should be thanking me for offering $5 for it. LMAO!!!

True, true, but its not! I have some of the others but I'll have to go through them and see if I'm willing to part with them yet. I am a natural born pack rat, it comes from having a grandfather who was a farmer but was more interested in the mechanical and electrical side of things than actually farming.

It dawned me a little bit ago that I need to do something related to my opening post! Should I score some books off of people, then I will remove those books from the list. That way I don't receive multiple offers for the same book and it keeps you current on my status. Thanks everyone for reading!
