Not usually a fan of multiple rule books to cover the 'same' period - always seems a suspect attempt to pry money for little return - but the prices here don't suggest that is the tactic, quite reasonable in fact.  Now, had they been $40 a pop, I wouldn't have even bothered posting. 

(Got this way about rules when selling off a late friend's collection - he had well over $1,000 worth of WWII rules from a very well known game system.  That races past crazed insanity into some unknown realm of pathetic greed.  Addendum to fix omissions or errors?  Sure.  36 rulebooks for one war?  F**k no.)

Back on topic, based on price, I am struck by the enjoyable artwork.  Heck, I might even have to 'bite' myself and pick these up.  Was the ententre intended?!  lol

We have played Paleo Diet a couple times, and enjoyed it. Very interesting mechanic that lends itself to solo play extremely well. Which - considering how few of us able to get face-to-face miniatures gaming in, is a godsend! I haven't played the Pulp version of it, but sounds like a lot of fun. Recommended on my end...  :)

If you want to read an AAR or two from the original Paleo Diet rules, here are the entries on my blog:

Great rules.
I will try the Pulp supplement next week.
It's never too late to have a happy childhood.
