Trawling through the Finnish Defence Forces archive and this absolute gem appeared. Crying out for an album cover...

There’s so much in @cfarrell317.bsky.social latest blog entry that I had to go past the Purple Haze and Pandemic-LotR stuff to get to what wanted—a critical look at the “history” in Pax Hispanica. Worth it. open.substack.com/pub/chrisfar...

It is with deep sadness that we confirm the passing of wargaming legend and CSRA Chairman Rodger B. MacGowan, mere weeks after he and his family lost everything in the Palisades fires. Our most profound condolences go out to Steven and Mae. Rodger was, as Steven has said, a river to his people.
