OK, yes. Yes, that is mine. Yes, I did buy it and it came in the mail a couple of days ago. But I can explain everything.
I remain totally committed to the concept of resistance! In fact, I may very well be resistier right now than I was when I first made my Declaration of Resistance. I'm so resistant that I put Ohmmeters in my general vicinity at risk of literally exploding.
But here's the thing: one still browses eBay, doesn't one? And surely, one looks at listings for things in which one is interested? And one occasionally finds bargains? And, when one finds such a bargain -- say, a $35 book (that one desperately covets) for $10 -- wouldn't it be irresponsible for one NOT to buy it?
Seriously, it was a little too good a deal to pass up, and I'm glad I pulled the trigger on it. It's a beautiful book, well made and lavishly illustrated. I've enjoyed thumbing through it and getting at least a glancing familiarity with the ruleset. But -- and this is why I don't feel bad about the purchase -- I have no intention of jumping into it as a full-scale hobby any time in the near future. So, on one hand, yes: I did buy a new game that I was trying to hold out on. But on the other, it's just a $10 book, not $100+ of unpainted lead. Maybe next year? In the meantime, I might pick up an army book or two, but no miniatures, and that's the real key.
