Thank you for the kind words and giving us a listen.

Someone once told me that Vijayanagara killed ABB for them (not naming names but it was @billsimoni.bsky.social ).

Personally, I don't see it. Although Vija is a distilled COIN experience and plays mutch faster, ABb is still my favorite COIN.

Curious how you all feel after your plays.

Love to see it Fred.

Rebel Fury and NATO: The Cold War Goes Hot were each featured as a History on the Table episode. Check them out, I still dig both games.

Close Action. Fun. Chaotic. Not sure why but I was very skeptical of CA when ever it was first proposed we play and then I quickly fell in love.

Weimar: The Fight for Democracy. Another game that just hit really well. I do wonder about its depth but I only see that becoming a concern after many, many plays which probably isn't going to happen for some time.

Europa Universalis. If I did rank `24 games, hard to imagine anything else as #1. EU resonated very well with me and it kind of kills Here I Stand (at least for now)

Other than USCW, I haven't had a desire to play board games. EU is something I'm scheduling to play. That means something

I have a lot of fun compiling my favorite new to me games each year. Going back and trying to revisit all of those games over 8 months later... is a lot. Here are some stand out new to me in 2024... 8 months late... in no particular order.

First up, the History on the Table March Madness bracket still happened. We take the Every Wargame Every list and run it through our Discord community each year.

The U.S. Civil War was our 2025 winner!

2022: Roads to Gettysburg II
2023: Pacific War
2024: Empire of the Sun
