Thanks!
It looks Korean in origin, which makes it even more interesting.

Tell me more!
I am always after a good soccer table-top game for the kids.

Thanks for the repost!!!! 😊

A nice little thread on the lineup of @snafustore.bsky.social currently available games (yes, that includes mine 😊).

My favorites so far?
12 hours at Maleme and Berestechko 1651

Danke!

Thanks! 😊

More of @snafustore.bsky.social Catch-18 this WE. My son felt comfortable enough to play the Germans (more varied pieces and different things they can do), so I got to play the US and…
failed miserably!
I had some unlucky moments and the kid played well.
Still struggling with victory conditions.

There is also this. It uses the same system as FITNA, but apparently it works much better here. I cannot comment as I own Bloody Dawns but have yet to play it and I have never played FITNA.

While canon could suggest gatekeeping of some sort, I really enjoyed the episode and the spirit of the participants (including the banter!). The list is pretty exhaustive already, but the thing that surprised me the most was hearing that Brant likes SPI City Fight probably as much as me!
One day…

Welcome back!!!
You have been missed!

(Well, at least by me!)

Yes, they will!!!!!

Wargaming weekend part 2: Battle of Hoth is a hit with the boys (they are now on mission 7).
Will it prove at least as good as its distant godfather?
If all goes wrong, we’ll use the minis for the older game!

Wargaming weekend part 1: studying the rules to Compass’ Grant: The Western Campaign 1862, and putting @catastrophegames.bsky.social Campaign: Fall Blau to the table

Really salivating over the whole series! When is the first volume (Divine Wind, right?) coming out?

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Oh 😲
Ok 😃
Thanks!!

Proud owner of the first edition, but this looks too good to pass!
And congratulations!

It’s a great game while managing to stay true to the IP. My kids loved it (one still does), even when just playing the second act by itself.

In memory of my gaming friend Giuliano that eventually sold me his unpunched copy of the game, I am about to dive into the Great Pacific War, 1941-1945!
We Must Tell the Emperor, Victory Point Games.

Very nice!👍🏻

Thanks! Please report back 😊

It’s been a while since I had last played it, but it remains a nice solitaire game and very original in its application of wargame mechanics to a topic that is not actually about a literal meaning of the word “war”.

I was eventually saved by the roads (hard to pass for the fire) as well as the increase in MC thanks to the dusk and evening.
Fire is contained, but as each hex with smoldering fire (gray) is an additional 1k$ on the budget, the price paid to contain the fire will cost me the job

The fire became huge and eventually I had to evacuate three of my crews out of five…

The third game was more challenging. The WS picked up while the MC grew lower thanks to the afternoon heat.

The second game was nice and easy. Mainly I was lucky that the fire started next to more difficult terrain (see the different colored hexes) and it failed to spread even in the first turn.

Here is the situation when I called it a day. You can see how I failed to contain the fire in the north and due to the WS it moved around the lines I had built…

The first game ended in a disaster because I was not able to properly contain the fire (the change in the wind direction did not help!).
