I love my job as a professional wargame designer for DoD. But I do not get to play as many games as I would like during the day as I am usually running said games. But it is pretty freaking awesome

Had a great 2p game day with my local gaming buddy yesterday. @ospreygames.bsky.social @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social A couple of classics (A Few Acres of Snow and Targi), my new hotness (Toy Battle), and one my co-designs (General Orders: Sengoku Jidai).

Colleges weigh whether to sign onto Trump plan or forgo federal benefits A new proposal from the Trump administration would give colleges funding advantages if they adopt conservative priorities.

โ€œNo self-respecting university could ever accept something like this,โ€ said Lee Bollinger, a First Amendment scholar and former Columbia University president. โ€œTrying to protect conservative ideas against being โ€˜belittledโ€™ โ€” thatโ€™s about as violative of the First Amendment interests as you can get.โ€

US Army Addresses Cybersecurity Risks in Next Generation Command and Control Platform - SSBCrack News The U.S. Army has reported significant progress in addressing cybersecurity vulnerabilities within its Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) platform,

A leaked US Army memo warns the Next Generation Command and Control system built by Anduril, Palantir, Microsoft and othersโ€”is riddled with cybersecurity flaws and โ€œvery high riskโ€ due to severe cybersecurity flaws.

The flaws could give US adversaries undetectable access to battlefield data.

But overall, I state very clearly the game is meant as a sandbox. So I encourage people to make unique scenarios like you did or to add or modify rules as they see fit. It won't hurt my feelings, if anything I encourage it

Haha ๐Ÿ˜† this reminds me of the literally hours long convo I had with HIMARS Marines who said they would use their GLMRs as direct fire weapons ๐Ÿ˜‚ I did an a direct fire optional rule for Baltic for canon artillery because the Aussies wanted it for their version

Yes the game makes no distinction between anti ship and land attack LRS in unit CVs. Some JCCs indicate the type of hex they can attack but that's about it.
