History buff. Love boardgames (primarily historical, political and military based), but also enjoy some euros and anything strategic and thematic.

For all my board game contacts here on BlueSky, I’m getting chance to go to London (and possibly Paris) within the next couple of months. What are some cool game stores I should visit while there? #boardgames #WarGames

Another DRACHEN playtest this morning via TTS. Resulting refinements include more open adjustment of forces after initial setup, surprise use of AA guns, and affirmation of the need for historical restriction of late German offensives to the Right Bank. (Prototype not production art.)

Excited to have these two arrive today. One I can pack in a bag to carry anywhere and the other would cost an extra plane ticket to travel with 😃. Looking forward to playing sometime soon. @djackthompson.bsky.social @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social @eaglegryphon.bsky.social.

Terrible service at Barnes & Noble today. Paid $80 for game online/pick up at store (worker acted like I interrupted her day to ask where pick up my game). Go to front show my email guy puts game in bag hands it to me. I get home (hour drive) to see a puncture under Fellowship. @barnesandnoble.com

Good time playing “1862 War in Virginia” solitaire travel game tonight. 1st pic below is game start where Confederates have the Union on their heels, 2nd pic is 4 rounds remaining and the Union has pushed the Confederates back toward Richmond and the final pic is after the last round. Union victory.

Only time for one game this past weekend and taught 1960:The Making of the President to a friend of mine. Was hoping to get this one plus 13 Days: The Cuban Missile Crisis and Watergate in. Took us longer to play 1960 than I had planned. Had fun though. @jasondcmatthews.bsky.social #boardgames

Learning the game “13 Days”. Playing two-handed (playing each side as I think a player would). At start of round 3, the world is on the brink of nuclear catastrophe. Love how this game creates tense moments and does it in only 3 rounds (plus the aftermath scoring). #wargames #boardgames.

Never played Final Girl. Played tonight and enjoyed it. I’m not a big horror fan, but wanted to play for research. There are mechanics in the game that I may try to use in a game I’m designing. Fun game, very thematic and was tough to win (which I didn’t). Lost fairly quickly. Good game. #boardgames

Great day gaming with my friend Daniel. Dune War for Arrakis was tight down to wire and my first time playing Red Flag Over Paris was fun (even though I lost-need some more plays of that one). Now it’s an Old Fashioned and some “light rules” reading. 😁 @gmtgames.bsky.social @fredserval.bsky.social

Fun couple of quick plays of “Pacific War 1942 Solitaire” by Worthington Publishing. Lost the 1st game badly with about 9 points and won the last game with 21 points. Fun little quick playing travel game.

Not a lot left to see on the board, but it was a lot of fun and a very tight game. I held Tobruk as the Allies but lost Alexandria by 1 point to lose the game in the 10th and final round. Really nice, quick playing, light rules, but with some strategic depth, game. #WorthingtonPublishing #Wargame.

Fun time gaming with my friend Jeff this weekend. He’s just starting with historical/war games. I’ve been teaching him different types of games, keeping the rules light for now. We played Black Orchestra where we defeated Hitler and Memoir 44, which Jeff won. #boardgames #wargames

Got a friend who has played Axis and Allies and wants to learn other war games. So gaming today and working our way through “In The Shadows”, “Memoir 44” and then “We are Coming Nineveh”. Trying to gradually ramp up the complexity for him. @gmtgames.bsky.social @danbullock.bsky.social

Excited to have picked up a used (but unpunched) copy of “Armageddon War” (including the “Alone in the Desert” solo expansion) both for a great deal today. Heard a lot of great things about this game. #wargames #Boardgames #FlyingPigGames.
