Fantastic couple of days at Chimera, we paused at the start of the con to think of our good friend and fellow Chimerian David Roe who we lost recently. Great diversity of games this year, some not pictured Korsun Pocket 2, Tanto Monta and A Gest of Robin Hood. Thanks to all from the committee!

Great playing Lilliburlero at @chimeracondublin.bsky.social with @pbgameshistory.bsky.social. Jacobite decisive victory.

Day 2 of @chimeracondublin.bsky.social today, playing Lilliburlero

Good gaming today at @chimeracondublin.bsky.social with Spain winning with a domination victory. I caused Portugal no end of problems in North Africa

Tanto Monta by @gmtgames.bsky.social tomorrow at @chimeracondublin.bsky.social

Heading to a funeral this morning of a fellow gamer that passed away suddenly, a great and decent guy who will be missed by all in the Irish gaming community.....this is a regular reminder to - play more games, have more fun, hug your loved ones.

The Taliban drink Guinness, right??

Playing A Distant Plain locally here on Friday, published by @gmtgames.bsky.social and designed by @volko.bsky.social and Brian Train. Always find this one results in tight finishes.

Western Approches in Liverpool is well worth a visit if you are in the city. Western Approaches share.google/SWYF1iOLtyKq...

Great day of games at Meeplecon Dublin. Even squeezed in a game of People Power between Vijayanagara and Napoleons Triumph.

Tomorrows agenda at Meeplecon in Dublin 😃

Meeplecon coming up on Saturday week and Chimera Con in 5 weeks time. Particularly excited to play Napoleons Triumph next week!

I’m making an order for strategy games and historical war games for some research I’m doing. What recommendations do people have for interesting stuff? (deep cuts appreciated) (image for attraction)

Williamite forces are across the Boyne at Fennor and Oldbridge. @maniacalinc.bsky.social has pushed Ginkel back across the river. William and James have much to consider.

@maniacalinc.bsky.social makes some great and thoughtful content, worth a follow. For those of you interested in historical games give this a listen, its worth your while.

Here I Stand @gmtgames.bsky.social @edbeach23.bsky.social once again tomorrow in person. This time as the French, so many options but so many threats.

Also currently playing a learning game of Kriegspiel. I'm currently CinC of a team of four and our HQ along with 2nd Brigade are bottled up in a valley trying to advance. Will be assault Dolling or ignore it, dispatched from our 1st and 3rd Brigades to the west are not promising....

Started Lilliburlero yesterday evening with @maniacalinc.bsky.social, a teaching game. Not much has happened as yet, Williamite cavalry skirmish at Drogheda but were pushed back. Some Jacobite cannon fire on Williamite positions, will update as we progress in future. I am the Williamites.

Been remiss of me not to post here more frequently, lets correct that....

Great weekend at Gaelcon, played Pax Porfiriana, People Power and A Distant Plain. Also made some new contacts. More gaming this weekend with some more Here I Stand!

Day three of Gaelcon today. Succeeded Diaz in Pax Porfiriana on Friday night and introduced a few newcomers to it who were enamoured. Played People Power by @gmtgames.bsky.social for the first time yesterday evening as the NPA, enjoyed it. Teaching A Distant Plain today!

I'm at @gaelcon.bsky.social this coming weekend in Dublin to teach Pax Porfiriana and A Distant Plain. Also should be playing People Power, COIN in the Philippines and will hopefully get some free play in! I'm free early on the Saturday if anyone wants to play anything, hit me up!

New arrival, Tanto Monta 😃

Great day yesterday playing Here I Stand along with @mrgoyette.bsky.social. As the French I captured Charles V, built a few chateuas and warred with Hapsburgs and English. @mrgoyette.bsky.social Ottomans took Vienna and lost Istanbul in the same turn. Hapsburg player had terrible luck too!

Playing some Here I Stand tomorrow all day 😀along with @mrgoyette.bsky.social

A win for the Mafia in 'Cuba Libre'. It's the best COIN game. There are loads of good ones but this one nails it.

Our second fantasy auction this week 💪💪

Off to play some Cuba Libre by @gmtgames.bsky.social today!

Auto victory at the end of year 3 of Mr President by @gmtgames.bsky.social with 27 points, puts me at John Adams level. Happy given the last two games ended in impeachment and a nuke launched by Iran!

Started a second game earlier of Mr President by @gmtgames.bsky.social , going much smoother. End of year 2 and my party controls both houses in Congress. I am however bogged down in Afghanistan still.

Impeached in year 3 of Mr President 😌

Great first day at Chimera!

Next up this weekend at @chimeracondublin.bsky.social I am running Republic of Rome on Saturday and Wellington on Sunday. Have one place left for Republic of Rome if anyone is around Dublin this Saturday and is interested, if so DM me!

Day 2 done, some great games at Punchedcon. Really enjoyed Dune and Revolution The Dutch Revolt. Finall day today.

Great fun at Punchedcon - so far I've been stabbed in the back by the Carthaginians, stabbed in the front by the Austrians and the assassination of a Pope lost me a game. Great people and great games, congrats to the organisers.
