Very happy day 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Interesting discussion bout rearmament in Europe/UK youtu.be/paZxR2ubxvs?...

Wargaming often hides behind the claim of "political neutrality." It’s the "I just like the history" defense. But choosing what history to simulate & how to market it is an inherently political act. I want 2 talk about how "Héroes de Baler" (NAC Wargames) is sold vs. what it actually simulates 1/n

The countdown begins...

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

Gross, "The Discriminating Gamer" just gave a big endorsement to Werwolf, the knock off COIN game about the Nazi fantasy around throwing off the shackles of the allied occupation and restoring the Reich. Seeing wargamers react positively to a neo nazi propaganda work has been quite galling.

I fully agree with this review of An Impossible War

Many wargamers: we haven't come here to talk about politics The real world:

Good convention, loads of playing, new and old friends met. La Bellota starts to feel the multiplication of competition but still a very good show in terms of ppl and next year it will 10 years running. Spanish wargaming scene feels stronger than ever. A quick rundown of games played here:

Well, CNN are covering it at least, even if the British media are largely uninterested

@swajones.bsky.social a pic from the expired illegal concessions stealing a long stretch of beach from Guardamar & their residents ur so foolishly r defending. Equally illegal all the rocks & concrete they've been dumping to delay the inevitable.

¿Por qué la región entre Zamora, León y Ourense arde tanto? No, no es para construir aerogeneradores, ni por ninguna de las teorías conspiranoicas que estamos leyendo. La explicación es más compleja… y menos cómoda para quienes buscan respuestas simples. 1/13

@nbsp1618.bsky.social is it too late for new graphic design for some of the cards??? bsky.app/profile/soci...

Designed by James Buckley, "Battlegroup Clash: Baltic" is a tactical ground combat #wargame -- focused on the NATO defense of Estonia against Russia. My favorite part is how transmission/C2 & the risk of being targeted are linked. Pre-order it below. www.sapperstudio.com/battlegr

Pues se acabó comprar con masqueoca. Cancelo un pedido. Dos días después, y sin haber recibido respuesta, reitero mi solicitud y su obligación de notificar recepción de mi mensaje. Nada. A la semana aviso de correos de que me mandan el envío. Contacto de nuevo. Nada. 1/2

Sobre posicionarse o no ante un puto genocidio, vuelvo a poner esta del año pasado.

Our colleagues at MdG are compiling a Google Map of all stores that carry wargames. If you know of any, please share the store's Google profile link in the comments so they can add it to the database.

@drcrossbows.bsky.social have u seen this? It seems connected to your work.

Andor es una maravilla

Everyone who works in this industry (and others) are doing one of these right now... 1) panicking outwardly 2) panicking internally 3) digging in to recalculate everything in desperation 4) coping with booze/narcotics/food/sleep 5) clinging to hope it'll change before it hits too hard

That sound you hear? The scream of hundreds of tabletop gaming companies as their business models collapse simultaneously.

@navaronegun.bsky.social Hiya. Is the Hot Dry Season still a live project? I haven't seen much dispatches since the announcement of the move to snafu.

Terrible decision by SecDef.

BTW, please check out Board Game Academics & consider submitting for their most recent call for papers: boardgameacademics.com This is how academic journals should be, IMO. Free & open-access online, rather than locking scholarship behind the usual paywall of an academic journal. #academicsky

If Trump was President in 1940

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

Otras Bellotas inolvidables. Nuevos y viejos amigos. Buenas partidas y excelentes sensaciones. Una organización que ha apostado por back to basics, donde si te despistabas te quedabas sin mesa. Todo excelente. El juego más disfruton Land and Freedom, a pesar de nuestra funesta fortuna!

Pues cerrado ya el planning para la Bellota (We are coming, Nineveh; Land and Freedom; y El Otro Lado de la Colina). Este año no podré estar mucho tiempo, pero dispuesto a exprimirlo al máximo.
