10K wrapped up another great week with friends play testing Symphony.

The German panzer spearheads can reach Daugavpils by 26 June - matching historical!

More rules tuning coming.

Setting up for our Halloween Fest playtest of Symphony of Destruction.

Fresh maps with some color changes to the water terrain. My intuitions tell me the sea color is too dark.

On the road to another playtest of Symphony of Destruction. Some tidying up of air rules while I’m on the flight and a few other loose ends. Should be a productive week in Ohio.

Pushing counters in 2 days! 😎

A long time coming! We finally have a graphical Terrain ID chart for Symphony of Destruction. Halloween Playtest T -5 days.

10K Games finished up a week long playtest today. Symphony of Destruction is shaping up nicely. It’s fun to play and models the historical operations rather well.

10K HQ is hosting its 3rd HQ Visit in just five days. Today I received our newest and first batch of real counter sheets. Many thanks to Rawstone printing! A sample of our 5/8”s Soviet Counter Sheet 2 (Front)

That is clean and exceptional work!

Well we are not ignoring logistics, nor are we wanting to bean count either. The system has LPs (Logistical Points) and SP’s (Supply Points) which are derived from LP’s and are what elements use to do stuff: Ammo, Fuel, Attacks.

LPs will vary in tonnages depending on nation and year of war.

Working on new marker designs on this 84th anniversary of the commencement of the largest land war in history: Operation Barbarossa, 22 June 1941.

10K HQ playtest coming up on July 19th.

Grant none of us disagree. They are busy, but we are trying to cover a lot of things that must, at least for now be represented on the counter.

Most units won’t have everything that the template allows for but it’s all there to allow me to build any unit.

When you think you're done with counter layout edits, the road goes ever on. The gutters have come to a head and I have had to re-tune again. We are pushing the limits but I'm confident in our new printer!

I suspect we may have to nudge off the edges - these have not been proofed yet. We are using larger 5/8”s sized counters though.

Symphony of Destruction - Counter Sample v8

The July gathering at 10K's HQ in Colorado, has prompted another counter revision. This sample shows the template on the upper left and a few German elements: front and back.

New counters & a new printer!

Oh! Almost forgot, Symphony of Destruction covers the German invasion of the Soviet Union in the northern theater of operations where AGN attempts to conquer Leningrad (1941-44).

It’s our first design prototype. The game is titled Symphony of Destruction - an operational scaled WW2 sim. 3 day turns processed in action points where a day is roughly an action point. 10 KM per hex, I go - You go.

Even on Friday’s at 9700’ - 10K is going to work. Have the Americano, the bagel, a fireplace and free time to work on game designs. #10kgames #boardwargames #boardwargame #wargames #breckenridge #hexandcounter

Can you 10kdesigner to this list? We are 10K Games - working on an operational WW2 game. Thanks!

10K Games just dropped its fourth newsletter the 10 KiloMeter. If you are interested in our efforts to produce our first hex and counter operational WW2 tabletop wargame please subscribe at www.10k-games.com

One of 10K's Horsemen Unleashed series reasons for existing is to put on a gaming table factors other than firepower that matter a lot to who wins battles. Efficiency and morale are obvious, but we also emphasize operational competence: how quickly and well a country's forces can start a battle.

Issue #4 of the 10 KiloMeter - our in house newsletter published quarterly by 10K Games will be hot off the presses in just a few days.

We discuss our experiences at Winterfest XXVII, logistics for Symphony of Destruction and a narrative of combat in the Horseman Unleashed game system.

Just finished Symphony of Destruction map #6 of 13. It was very dense terrain wise. A lot of challenges solved by modifying hexagons a little, thinking outside the box and being creative. #cartography #wargames #hexandcounter #tabletopgaming #maps #WW2 #10kgames #wargaming
