Red Dust Rebellion von @gmtgames.bsky.social , @3mbg.bsky.social aus der COIN Serie von @volko.bsky.social. Es ist eines der komplexeren der Reihe und auch ohne historischen Hintergrund durchgehend spannend und unglaublich thematisch. Megakonzerne und Extremisten auf dem Mars 😍

Finally got ahold of one of my grail #boardwargames - "Chandragupta" by @gmtgames.bsky.social , covering the chief battles of the Mauryan Empire in Alexandrine-era* India - to complete my set of GMT's #GBoH (Great Battles of History) series, via an eBay auction at a rational price point.

Fall 1917. Until last summer, the Allied have been making progress on all fronts, especially removing the threat to Egypt.
But the entry of Bulgaria and the start of the Russian Revolution is about to change everything...

For entry level, you might also try @gmtgames.bsky.social 's "Twilight Struggle", more strategy than strictly wargame, but an all-time classic of the Cold War, so famous that it's even been featured on "South Park"; the designer, @jasondcmatthews.bsky.social , released a special "Blame Canada"...
