Significant but not decisive advance by the Axis into the Soviet Union.

Hi I'm travelling from the UK to Oklahoma next month. Does anyone know if there any good game stores in Oklahoma City?

Another round of Friedrich. This time as Austria. Prussia prevails after turn 22.

A few favourites from Unfurl Your Banners.

Unfurl your banners, day two.

Getting ready for a weekend of heavy gaming at Unfurl in Cumbria. Here I Stand, Pericles, C&C Ancients, COIN. Hopefully something lighter too.

Not quite sure what this beer is promising.

I'm guarding the city today at Fishergate.

Death of an Army, Langemarck scenario. It all went wrong for me (Entente) in turn one. Germans took the bulk of Passchendaele ridge for a decisive victory.

Meanwhile, Western Empires next door.

I played Here I Stand. The Anti-Christ prevails. We're all doomed but we went home friends.

Here I Stand after turn 2. Anti-Christ and Haps in great shape.

I played The Hunters. Having sunk 20 Allied merchant vessels and killed countless sailors, KptLt Schmidt and U-28 meet their end in the Med, sunk by CV-Eagle.

I kinda like the "block of time" or B-theory. youtu.be/wwSzpaTHyS8?...

I'm also on a course about the philosophy of time.
