Ahead of the 250th anniversary of the campaign for New York this summer, “Trying Men’s Souls” from Against the Odds has arrived in Brooklyn where I’ll get it played on my table that sits right on the battlefield. #americanrevolution #wargames #battleofbrooklyn #battleoflongisland #america250

A big Saturday at the club with seven players clashing across multiple games of Baron’s War 2nd Edition from @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social #wargaming #miniatureswargaming #historicalminiatures #baronswar

We are donating a full run of AH’s The General to the NY Public Library. Early members found us in the “Opponents Wanted” ads listing our “2,000 square foot loft for boardgames and miniatures” and “facilities to play any game, anytime.” #wargaming #wargaminghistory #avalonhill #thegeneralmagazine

The Guerrilla Generation: Cold War Insurgencies in Latin America from @gmtgames.bsky.social has arrived in Brooklyn. All set up for a two-handed learning game of Uruguay (1968-1972). As a GenX wargamer, this one has been highly anticipated. #gmtgames #COIN #guerillagenration #wargaming

Last June, members of the club kicked off a game of Empires In Arms. Some nine months later, the game is still going strong. #wargaming #napoleonicwargaming #empiresinarms #avalonhlll

Sad news for Philadelphia area gamers but the NYC Compleat Strategist will remain open (for now). #flgs #compleatstrategist

Monday night at the club playing We Are Coming, Nineveh! from @nutspublishing.bsky.social with a minor victory for the ISF against the Daesh forces with savage urban fighting at Mosul in 2016-2017. #wargaming #boardwargaming #mosul #nineveh

Frostgrave from @ospreypublishing.bsky.social on the table at the club on a Monday night. #wargaming #miniatureswargaming #fantasyminiatures #frostgrave #frostgraveminiatures

Midweek action at the club with Wargaming Wednesday and six players battling through Baron’s War 2nd Edition from @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social #wargaming #miniatureswargaming #historicalminiatures #baronswar

Spent the weekend with my Scouts at Valley Forge

I don’t usually go to Trader Joe’s but when I do, I go to the Trader Joe’s in downtown Brooklyn near where Washington’s troops built a fortification in defense of New York City in 1776. #GeorgeWashington #AmericanRevolution #BattleofBrooklyn #BattleofLongIsland

@danbullock.bsky.social was on my podcast today, just like I was on his! You should preorder a copy of Penitent while you still can--it's going to be very cool. youtu.be/i3K1OIkVJF4

A solo game about prison design and competing theories of criminal reform in the 19th-century? Heck yes! Just preordered Penitent from @danbullock.bsky.social lockhornsgames.com/collections/...

Saturdays are often for big games and this Saturday was no different. A game of the @avalonhill1.bsky.social classic Empires In Arms that has been running for months at a full seven players continued, and six players tackled @fantasyflightgames.bsky.social Twilight Imperium in a single sitting.

One of our favorite things about the club is when new people find us when visiting NYC from out of town. We were glad to have Jonathan from Oregon find us this weekend while traveling the East Coast on business. #wargaming #boardgames #axisandallies

How I started my Valentine’s Day at @metrowargamers.bsky.social

Went to @metrowargamers.bsky.social and one of our members pulls out a playtest of a game he’s making about the 1905 Russian Revolution. Four of us for three hours, scribbling on cards and iterating rules. This is why this club is the best for over 40 years — camaraderie, community and play.

Up early for an 8am Saturday game at HMGS Cold Wars 2026 with the Battle of Le Petit Fort on the shores of Lake Michigan, December 5, 1780. #coldwars2026

Friday morning at HMGS Cold Wars 2026 with the Battle of Freeman’s Farm September 19, 1777. The British pulled off an ahistorical victory and held the field. #coldwars2026

Thursday evening at HMGS Cold Wars 2026 with the Battle of White Plains, October 28, 1776. Our Colonial forces effectively held off the hesitant British and live to fight another day.

Just a fun game to end the regular season with the @buffalo-bills.bsky.social #GoBills

Let’s go @buffalo-bills.bsky.social like it’s 1973 at Rich Stadium #GoBills

Most of the tables at the club filled today with some miniatures painting plus lots of games including Votes for Women from @fortcircle.bsky.social , Battletech from @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social and Sol: Last Days of a Star from Elephant Laboratories

Votes for Women from @fortcircle.bsky.social, votes secured. Played down at @metrowargamers.bsky.social

Big game today of Imperial Elegy from @vucasimulations.bsky.social back where it began at the club years ago. At the full player count, the game ran 10 hours and ended with the Ottomans, Russia and Austria-Hungary annihilating France, the UK and Germany at the outset of the Great War.

Every time Aaron Rodgers loses an angel gets their wings. Go Bills! @buffalo-bills.bsky.social #GoBills #buffalobills

Grabbed some new American Revolution books as I look forward to the 250th anniversary next year and the new documentary from @kenburns.bsky.social premiering on @pbs.org November 14th.

Picked up a copy of Nations & Canons from @flagbearergames.bsky.social core rulebook, GM screen and a cloth print of the 1770 Ratzer map of NYC. The map is one of my favorite objects in the world - I often go visit the original copy at the Brooklyn Historical Society (one of three in existence).

Always a nail biter with the @buffalo-bills.bsky.social #GoBills

The club kicked off November with a big day of games. Eight players convened for the ongoing Empires In Arms while other tables saw games of Almoravid, Shiloh: The First Day and From the Moon. #boardgames #wargames

Back on track with the @buffalo-bills.bsky.social #GoBills

Cross Bronx Expressway, Merchants & Marauders, Dune Imperium and the Avalon Hill classic Trireme all on the table at the club today.

The Battle of Agincort, October 25, 1415 (610 years ago today). youtu.be/A-yZNMWFqvM?...

Big day at the club with a members meeting welcoming five new members. Then, there were games — Kill Team, Red Dust Rebellion, Sol and Falling Sky among others.

Cross Bronx Expressway from @gmtgames.bsky.social was on the table for the first time at the club today. It was a group loss in the 1970s as the South Bronx collapsed into disenfranchisement. Many lessons learned and we’re looking to a replay soon.

Posted up some videos to my channel from my recent trip to a number of War of 1812 sites in Ontario, Canada youtube.com/playlist?lis...

War of 1812 firing demonstration at Fort George in Ontario, Canada

Getting my War of 1812 on at Fort George in Ontario, Canada

Back in my hometown and got in a Wednesday morning game of 28mm Napoleonic action located somewhere in Spain during the Peninsular Campaign — great time with my brother and a longtime friend.

Terrible @buffalo-bills.bsky.social #GoBills

My boys and nephew hosting a @magic.wizards.com Spider-Man draft at the house today.

Gorgeous early fall weekend of my Troop 187B at Alpine Scout Camp with fantastic camping, cooking and Scout skills development.

The Piano Roadblock July 10th 1943 scenario using Battleground rules and 20mm figures was on one of the club’s sand tables today.

Some of us had the day off from work so we got Vijayanagara from @gmtgames.bsky.social on the table at the club.

Another kind of ugly one but I’ll take the win for the @buffalo-bills.bsky.social #GoBills

Began the day with an 11am viewing of Lord of the Rings (1978) at Nitehawk Cinema - Prospect Park in Brooklyn, NY. The last time I saw this animated classic in the theater was when my mom took nine-year-old me to see it some 47 years ago.

Saturday at the club with a classic game of Third Reich, the still new Chicago ‘68 from @thedietzfoundation.bsky.social and some Chain of Command from @toofatlardies.bsky.social #wargaming #boardgaming #miniatureswargaming #spreadthelard

Oof — closer than I’d like @buffalo-bills.bsky.social but #GoBills!

Got my Jalen Kimber #38 @buffalo-bills.bsky.social jersey — #GoBills!

Great day in New Jersey and a win for the @buffalo-bills.bsky.social #GoBills
