I just got a shipping notice. This must be what's coming. Lovely.

Neva 2nd Pre-order campaign launched - Pushing Cardboard Another game coming from Neva

New pre-order campaign launched by Neva

Featuring Peking 55 Days of Fury (Boxer Rebellion)

The Replacements are 1000% cooler and better than Mr. "Turn Me Loose". Before we hit you with Nickleback, we hit you with Loverboy.

A friend’s sister is named Dorcas. She doesn’t sound happy. You made a brighter choice. Plus you get your teenage dream-name as a nickname. Double win.

I know! So cool. And so English, the business of putting it in a footnote rather than in the main body of what he was writing, or more aptly, publishing it on its own!

@amabel.bsky.social I thought of you immediately as I read this thread.

A perfect example of what MAGATs mean by "fake news". Not news that is factually wrong, but news presented in a way they don't like. Of course, more shocking is his public announcement that when Ellison buys CNN, it will be Foxified.

West Front! Wargamers love east front heavy metal, but what about that other one?

None of the 3 Chinese factions can win if they don’t first cooperate to keep Japan in check.

Hegseth drove himself this morning, I see

Battle Commander Unboxing Check out Carl Paradis' new game from Sound of Drums. A huge box filled with blocks of various shapes, cards, and 3 double-sided maps. All indications are that they are hoping to make a series starting with this, Vol 1. It's a very different game from the old hex-and-counter style. ---------------

Down. Or whoever built those stairs should be punched.

Local Sommelier just fuckin’ guessing Niagara, ON - The wine-loving community was shocked today to learn that local Sommelier Jacob Tillaney has been absolutely just fuckin’ guessing every time he gives tasting notes for a bottle of wine.

I've seen Los Lobos a couple times, but the best was in a space not much bigger than a community center. Fantastic.

I saw the Pretenders headlining their own tour. 88? 89? The Get Close album. I've had a terrible crush on Chrissie Hynde my whole life. Her autobiography, Reckless, is pretty good.

I saw that tour in Vancouver. Opening was The BoDeans and Los Lobos, I think.

Paralympic curling rocks! Maybe even more fun to watch than regular curling. What a shot.

Against the Reich looks interesting. Getting to choose the invasion site can be great. Though in some games, you learn that Normandy was the right choice no matter what.

Alias Grace is a great choice.

I have the Omaha one, and had thought I had the St.Lo one- part of a used lot and it was very incomplete. So just the Omaha one. Haven’t played it but it looks like it has an activation system like GCACW. Does that sound right?

They've started with the Powerhouse series, but the word is that if this goes well, we will see the Rotary and other series, too. ---------------
