Glad my MAGA friends have decided "Christianity is under attack". They must have missed us killing 30+ civilians with cluster munitions at an Easter service this year.

it has taken a lot of folk to bring #crossbronxexpressway to life, but I want to share my extreme gratitude to elizabeth and the @gmtgames.bsky.social warehouse staff managing the logistics to get the games to you. shipping is in full swing so the games should be arriving soon.

Garden of Earthly Delights

We visited the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania, and now I think we had a vampire infestation in Vilnius sometime before late 17th century...

Une partie de partie de longue qui s’engage. Pour le Soviétique, il s’agit de freiner l’avance allemande tout en préparant la contre-offensive. Plus facile à dire qu’à faire. Entretemps, la moindre opportunité doit être exploitée. C’est une telle occasion qui a permis de détruire une Panzer Division

Even Gen. Nelson Miles said it was "the most abominable criminal military blunder and a horrible massacre of women and children." He was critical of the CO of the 7th Cavalry who led the massacre, and after retirement, fought for compensation for the survivors.

All setup for Fight Club! Friday afternoon Army University with @vucasimulations.bsky.social Traces of War. The post Kursk Soviet offensive in Ukraine looks to cover ground familiar to folks today. #wargaming

How did people cope with the unimaginable? Fred Tizard, an Irrawaddy flotilla captain, was the inspiration for Felicity Goodall’s book. For him, the ritual of writing in his diary replaced his evening whiskey & was the thing that kept him sane on the brutal journey #MentalHealth #WW2Diaries

I seem to remember that there was a political movement in the US that was powered by resentment over bailouts and an opposition to sending “our money” to other countries. Blanking on the name right now, but it’ll come to me.

sad stuff

Big moment! 😊 First time seeing @alexchurchill.bsky.social and I's book "Ring of Fire" in a bookstore in Denmark!!! So if your i Copenhagen, you can get it at @politiken.dk boghal!

Negotiations have stalled. Trump keeps changing his policies. Ukrainians, backed by Europeans, are taking matters into their own hands, by targeting the Russian oil industry: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Laser cut counters…so my office will smell like a campfire for a few days! But prototype board and counters are here so I am all set to head to @sdhistcon.bsky.social in November!!! #Chevauchée #levyandcampaign

Never forget that in McCarthy’s insane communist witch hunt he decided to go for that noted pinko George Marshall. You know, the guy who built the AEF campaigns in WWI, built the Army for WWII, oversaw the war, served as secretaries of both defence and state, rehabilitated Europe and Japan…

Vijayanagara is one of the best light/medium wargames which I played in the recent years. I am trying to explain this opinion in below review. Enjoy! theboardgameschronicle.com/2025/09/21/r... @sespagnolie.bsky.social @gmtgames.bsky.social

Falling Sky von @volko.bsky.social und @gmtgames.bsky.social , für alle Parteien ein super knappes und spannendes Spiel. Einmal hätten die Arverner fast gewonnen, einmal fast die Belgier, doch am Ende war die Befriedung durch die Römer wohl nicht aufzuhalten. #Brettspiele #boardwargames #COIN

OTD in 2022, after denying it would happen, we mobilised cannon fodder to die for my palaces. I remain a master strategist.

First turn of Silver Bayonet campaign against the wife. She withstood my only reasonable attack at Plei Me and my other two attacks backfired. Bad and things will only get worse for me now as her US forces start entering the fray.

Es gibt keinen wirklichen Tag X mit Faschismus. Faschismus ist eher wie Schimmel, anfangs kaum sichtbar, dann nur bei genauem Blick, irgendwann ist das Brot schon fleckig und ungenießbar, aber es geht weiter, bis der ganze Laib grün, blau, weiß überzogen ist.
