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).

Another dramatic gameplay with Arabian Struggle. This game usually creates an interesting story with each play.
Another 3-player game of Arabian Struggle and House Saud wins again. Unfortunately, this time I was playing the Rashidis. Good comeback from the Saudis who looked wiped out in the first era with me talking a big lead, but they came back with lots of attacks right at the end to overtake for the win.
