As an economist, I would like to sincerely apologise on behalf of my profession. It's embarassing.

It's currently on VASSAL (not through Steam) and Tabletop Simulator (through Steam), but these versions are without rules enforcement. There will be a full digital version of LC at same later point. However, generally, it's quite easy to get into, there is complexity, but it is smooth and intuitive.

I'm not playing much online real-time, but if you'd be up for a PBEM over VASSAL, I'd love to play.

It would be amazing. I'd love to run it with students. They like John Company a lot, and such experience would get them engaged with the game and the topic even more.

I'm very much looking forward to this game. It has a platoon level system with drone and EW. It accounts for planning using Sync Matrices. It has huge educational value. Finally, it's set in the Baltics, making the game very relevant for our context. So, yes, I'm definitely pre-ordering.

And in several languages!

Absolutely! And a different appreciation for them too.

It is indeed so.

I get the feeling! And that's a very cool expression I didn't know - thanks!

Latin. I had free credits at the end of my undergrad studies and spent them on two semesters of Latin, one full hour everyday. It was amazing and now helps at pub quizzes.

I fully agree with @letsplayhistory.bsky.social The support in the wargaming community is amazing and we can do still more to get people into wargaming and connect them. Without Jan bringing the people together this project wouldn't have happened, people like Jan make this community so welcoming.

Thank you and likewise - I'm always happy to help!

One of the perks of teaching it - you always have someone to play with!

Yes, I'm really glad my students had this chance, and are now bringing the experience to share with their peers!

What I love the most is that not only the current students but the alumni want to get involved as well!

In the context of the increasingly closer defense and resilience cooperation between Germany and Lithuania, such activities can also help to build a shared understanding of the most pressing threats and ways to counter them. I hope this will open the door to further collaboration in wargaming.

When we started Wargaming Lab at ISM last September, one of the aims was to build and foster international collaboration with our Allies. I'm extremely happy that last week we saw the first German-Lithuanian wargaming summer school organized together with The German Wargaming Center.

This story of language colonialism is an important one, and I'm glad that @fluxogames.bsky.social chose to explore it in a video game format. Looking forward to the release.

Castillon The Battle of Castillon, fought outside the French city of the same name on 17 July 1453, was the final battle in the Hundred Years…

If you are interested, you can order my book now at www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Castillon-Ha...

It should be available from other online shops soon and in the US in September.

I fully agree!

Wargaming helps to meet the most interesting people,wherever you go. In Osaka, I had a pleasure to meet wargame designer, publisher and Banzai magazine editor Yasushi Nakaguro and learn so much about topics as broad as wargaming and board gaming in Japan to language and economics.

That's awesome and very helpful to get how the module works. Thanks!

Always a pleasure!

A screenshot of the game Hunt for Blackbeard as implemented on Rally the Troops platform.

Hunt for Blackbeard by @volko.bsky.social was the first game I playtested ever, both on a homemade physical copy and Vassal. Before the physical release, kindly thanks to @fortcircle.bsky.social and @ccxvii.bsky.social, this gem of a game is now available on Rally the Troops!

Second play of Winter Rabbit by @willmthompson.bsky.social The Wolf and the Deer tried to prepare the village for winter, but the Rabbit outsmarted everyone. Now it's getting personal, Mr. Rabbit.

David's work is great! I haven't tried this one yet, but looks exciting.

Looking forward to it a lot!

It also helps a lot with the introduction, that thematically it covers our region. Though, I'll be getting the Indo-Pacific too now, that's for sure.

I've played my first game several days ago - it's really really good, can't way to play more.

Consequently, my wish for the graduates is remaining critical and questioning, whatever the tools, whatever the situation.
