31.07.2025 16:26 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I feel like this is inherently enforced by wargames themselves - like, you can look at a D&D character sheet and mostly muddle your way through playing, whereas in a (miniatures, at least) wargame, you _need_ to learn the rules or you ain't playing the game.
31.07.2025 16:22 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I'd also argue that it depends on what wargames you're playing - e.g. something like "Crossfire" (and my own "Eleven Bravo" as a descendant) doesn't have designated player turns - players swap initiative based on actions and reactions.
31.07.2025 15:18 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0So Trump is removing the Deminimis for ALL US shipments to the US and setting the rate at the tax levied by the US on each country. American's you will pay more, you will pay it not us! This is a tax levied on YOUR purchases it is not charged to us or by us but by your border control to you!

I just realized you're the guy who does the Lost Shores stuff - the Oracle set has been on my list for use on a DEMIGOD board for months!

So it's not a done deal YET, and I hope I'm not jinxing myself by posting this, but hopefully come tomorrow you'll find DEMIGOD in the digital rulebooks section of Wargames Atlantic!
