Just finished Afghanistan: Decade of Strife. I played the Coalition, and had a clear advantage having played the game before, and allowed the Coalition to hold Kabul in the end! Thanks @sdhistcon.bsky.social for running this con!

Just finished a really tense first prototype of the First Battle of Kharkiv. Well done Germans for squeaking out the win! New map for True Command (I made it, which is why it looks goofy, @ilyakudr.bsky.social will make it look lovely eventually).

I'll be running Afghanistan: Decade of Strife and True Command tomorrow! If I get my act together tonight, True Command will feature a first play of a Kharkiv scenario.
