Got home, and their was a box from Boulder Games waiting for me. I knew what it contained, but I didn't have time to open it. Cleaned a bit and packed some stuff up, then later went to Staples for a dozen cardboard "file" boxes and to Home Depot, picking up four 36 gallon storage boxes, so I can pack some more!
(By the way, you do know that it you click on the blue links here [pinkish if you've previously been to that webpage], a link will take you there.)
After getting home and taking Cheyenne for a nice walk, I finally got to open my box. Inside was S&T 249 (Forgotten Napoleonic Battles -- link is to the Egyptian Campaign, there's a sister game on the Russo/Swedish War, as well), Perikles, and the jewel of the cardboard box, Espana 1936. It looks real good -- for $40 (what I paid for it) you get your money's worth, wargame-wise. I really need a chance to just sit down with this one and push some counters. The rules look to be very straightforward, and there are some real clever ideas here. Not a typical CDG, in that movement isn't initiated by cards, just events and battle assets.

In fact, I think I may decide that I need to head down into my "dungeon" and give this one some time right now!
