Wargamer, History lover, Auburn Evangelist, father, husband, general malcontent. Hex maps, counters, CRTs, and RPGs make me happy.

Today on Dec 6 Finland celebrates its 107th Independence Day. All Bridges Burning, Vol X in the COIN Series by @volko.bsky.social and @gmtgames.bsky.social covers the rocky beginnings of that independence that has lasted perhaps against all odds!

Thanksgiving is always a good time. Played some @ospreygames.bsky.social Undaunted North Africa with my brother in law, ate way too much, and played Rhino Hero Jr with buckethead

I’d like to be added if my side hustle of Auburn University basketball complaining doesn’t get too much in the way of my wargaming side!

It’s a great little game! I take it when I travel to visit friends a lot, since it fits in small folder and doesn’t have a ton of counters. Also recommend the Norman Conquests box for the same sized battles - lots of them are half pagers!

Always two handed solo! Lots of hex and counter I just end up two hand soloing, as a lot of people do I think.

Always good to go home for a weekend. Back in Auburn for a quick trip, took in #aubie Claus, walked campus, and played some solo #menofiron by @gmtgames.bsky.social while home. The official start of the holidays!

The American first line has been mullered but that's what their orders were. And the clock ticks on as the British regiments accrue some casualties to their scarce elite units

Mail call! Thunder in the Ozarks from #revolutiongames and Death in the Trenches by #compassgames - I’d had TitO before, parted with it, and then it was the only one I didn’t have in the #BlindSwords series, so, back it comes! #wargame #consim #historicalboardgame #acw #ww1

Gotta love the old Musket and Pike games in the series! They’re beautiful

After 6 months away from it, finally getting back to Saints in Armor by @gmtgames.bsky.social on the solo table tonight. Monster turn for the Catholic coalition, but Tilly is heading for the hills currently…

Without thinking, repost with the first Simpson’s joke that comes into your mind.

One of my favorite parts of #wargaming conventions is seeing the different approaches other designers take on various topics. This is an interesting trick taking game on the Sykes-Picot Agreement. I like how the map underneath is barely visible - only showing colonial resources.

Enjoyed teaching some #gbacw by @gmtgames.bsky.social last night to someone new! Using Cross Keys from the Death Valley box - he’s playing the Union, so he’s got lots of work to do yet.

I just hope he likes games as he comes up, otherwise it’s all solo all the time!
