@navaronegun.bsky.social Hi Patrick, I was wondering if there are any recdent developments in the publication of your Operation Attleboro project, I recall it was Hot Dry Summer...

Heute geht's mal wieder an die Ostfront. Gerade nochmal die Regeln auffrischen für Panzer Battles von @multimanpublishing.bsky.social Die Standard Combat Series ist wirklich schnell gelernt und ebenso flott wieder aufgefrischt. Am Tisch geht es dann zügig taktisch zur Sache. #Brettspiele #wargames

Facing an economic spiral and depleted conventional forces, Vladimir Putin is entering a window of maximum danger. We must prepare not for a resurgent Russia but for a desperate one: 2026 will be the year of hybrid escalation. www.rusi.org/explore-our-...

Coworker Returning From European Vacation Brings Back Latvian Man For Everyone To Share https://theonion.com/coworker-returning-from-european-vacation-brings-back-latvian-man-for-everyone-to-share/

On the 4th day of the 12 Days of Christmas War Gaming 2025 Edition my true love gave to me, 4 Ships Bombarding – General Orders: Sengoku Jidai from Osprey Games. theplayersaid.com/2025/12/17/1...

Every normie GOPer who has gone along with this lunacy is counting on it.

A simulation of hypothetical war in 1943 with the Wehrmacht. A golden oldie from GDW's Europa series, with German occupation forces moving east out of Norway.

Am really looking forward to this. boardgamegeek.com/thread/36282...

Thanks! Yes precisely! Here are attack examples from the draft rulebook - just my homemade graphics, definitely not game art.

The Japanese must carefully guide convoys to reinforce their forward defenses in the face of powerful Allied air and sea strikes. Each side must build new airbases as the front lines progress. (Etc.)

Not that you really need it in this case, but research says no. Political appointee diplomats underperform career diplomats onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

for many who have come to my work from #crossbronxexpressway this may seem a bit jarring, but december is for #ortona @gmtgames.bsky.social www.gmtgames.com/p-1072.aspx?...

Map and counters preview for 1942 Battle for the Mediterranean by @vucasimulations.bsky.social map and counters by @pbazerq.bsky.social #wargame

Took me a couple tries, but I finally managed to win @snafustore.bsky.social Operation Bøllebank by getting tank BQ in Tango 2 on the very last turn, despite the 1st tank being slowed down by Hull dmg, achieving both Operational, Strategic & Political victories! Very interesting little game indeed!

Old and well-worn, but sturdy and lasting. They were around for more than eighty years, welcoming the footsteps of both German and Polish people. These small bridges between past and present always make my heart beat a lil’ bit faster. Come walk with me on the tiles of the ”Recovered Territories”.

1943: Race to Rabaul - from art underway by Donal Hegarty, sample Allied and Japanese Operations cards

This points to an exploration of an interesting topic that wouldn't be in the list of almost anyone. But that is what I also want from games: to start some thought process that wasn't there before. These projects are the ones that people that think about games as an art form should support.

Played an enjoyable game of #InTheShadows in Waltembourg, a small village in Lorraine, where a gaming group meets. Resistance won. @danbullock.bsky.social @gmtgames.bsky.social

Cross-Bronx Expressway with the ladies, from @nbsp1618.bsky.social , @gmtgames.bsky.social . First play, through the 1990s only. Excellent introduction, Community (my fiancée) won 3-2-2! Exciting stuff, looking forward to a second play with 2 decades to see the ramifications of Blight and Bonds.

The furnace broke. It's very cold, so we're having a sale on an appropriately chilly game!

Candice is awesome and we are so happy to be working with her!
