If there are any Memoir '44 players in here, there are a number of expansions that have been reprinted and will be available in your FLGS, but you might need to ask them to order in especially. It is the Eastern, Mediterranean, Pacific, Winter Wars and Winter/desert expansions.
These have been and will be hard to get again in six months or so and probably not reprinted for a few more years, if past performance is anything to go on.
I'm still waiting on the reprint of the first four battle maps which I pre-ordered back in January!

Possibly light at the end of the tunnel.
In February, my wife brought me War of the Ring for my birthday. In March, I had arranged to play it for the first time with a friend and owner of a board games café, at his shop.
The game was scheduled for the very first day that he had to close for lockdown!!!!!!
Finally have a rescheduled date on the calendar to have the first play (with rescheduled opponent - different friend). Friday 2nd October. Wish me luck.

Good luck! It's a game that draws you right into its world.
But 18xx - you're on your own there!
About 15 years ago, I found a perfect copy of 1853 in a charity shop. I never got close to playing it and sold it on eBay to a guy whose address was a cargo ship on one of the Great Lakes.

I love the 18XX. Used to play a lot of it but life split the main playgroup up.
Just getting back into it.

Pushing a few bits around whilst relearning the rules.
Certainly has some table presence.

Was supposed to have played it last week, but game got put back until tomorrow evening.
I'm really looking forward to it. Curtesy of lockdown, this will be the first time I've actually played it since my wife brought it as my birthday present back in February.

Did get the War of the Ring to the table last week. Lost horribly. One stupid little orc stiBut it was my first game against someone who has played it a fair few times. I need to replay it. Again and again!
In other news, I found a company that will be selling the reprinted Heroquest into the UK, which seems to be something that Hasbro were unable to do. Have pre-ordered a copy. Now just a twelve month wait for it.

Let's try that again.
One stupid orc stopped me from taking Orthanc and killing Saruman. That probably lost me the entire game.

We’ve been playing a lot of Flamme Rouge this week (kids on holiday but MrsC still working). We also bought the Meteo and Peloton expansions which arrived yesterday. Meteo is quirky and cool; we're saving the peloton rules for next week when we’re away in the caravan.
War of the Ring might be on a Christmas list now.
