I’m tired just reading that!

AI and LLMs don’t do that. 🙄

Much more room on the 22*17 Normandy. 🎉

Hard at work today trying to finish the map set for #Chevauchée I think I finally have the right setup. I was unhappy with the spacing and the size of my previous set. Now I have made much more room on the maps for pieces and a better fit for Normandy to Aquitaine. Bretagne is still separate.

Teaching some friends @volko.bsky.social next game - Race to Rabaul 1943 WW2 from @phalanxgames.bsky.social
We got through two logistics steps and about 6 turns. Fun times and good discussions about how to teach and learn the system.

The negative human response is not to authorize a strike it’s to negate a strike. That’s the human in the loop.

AI reads the sensors and executes the fires matrix. No one seems to care how LLMs work. 🤷‍♂️

Not us! 🙄

A least the vault is warm right?? 😉

We have lots of cool stuff going on at SDHistCon Winter Quarters 2026! @volko.bsky.social and @smarkg52.bsky.social are currently demoing Volko's 1943: Race To Rabaul design: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEZ6...

Doing a little testing tonight with @volko.bsky.social @phalanxgames.bsky.social coming soon Race to Rabaul. 2x2 logistics focused #wargame

You will have to sneak down to the staff college and volunteer to help! Also, there was some interest from a commercial publisher, so if they and the designers come to an agreement it could get published for public consumption. We only own the military rights.

I taught two of these students and they took it to their classroom. Next up is LC. 😉

We sold some to the Canadian Army. It’s available to allies forces too.

How about some Major’s Gambit this morning at CGSC, Army University!! Excellent Decision Making under pressure! #wargame by @sebastianbae.bsky.social students at Georgetown!!!
