When Ark Nova came out, I was getting into wargaming pretty fanatically. I've still not played it, but it seems highly regarded and appears to have staying power, with it still hanging out on BGG's "hotness". Thoughts on this game?

Bonaparte in Italy, by Jean Baptiste Edouard Detaille and painted in 1908. This is from my favourite of Napoleon's campaigns. Probably has a lot to do with the countryside.

I gently squeezed the trigger today on Chad Jensen's Combat Commander. #LateToTheParty. The 20th Anniversary Edition seemed like a good excuse to finally add this one to my collection. @gmtgames.bsky.social
Now I'm just waiting for it to arrive in Canada.

Sample counters for Cuius Regio. I think these were sneak peeked a while ago but this is the first time I'm seeing them. Very slick. @gmtgames.bsky.social

Just watching the first two episodes of Vince Gilligan's new show #Pluribus and it's very good. A lot of opportunity to make some hilariously dark social commentary here, and I'm really eager to see where this goes.

The map legend for Seljuk: Byzantium Besieged, 1068-1071 coming from @gmtgames.bsky.social. I like that "gardens" are a thing here.

I'm looking forward to learning more about this Falklands title from NAC Wargames. Operational level game where recon plays a large role.

I love this representation of Aghanistan in Marc Rodrigue's board design for Bear Trap: The Soviet-Afghan War, 1979-1989, from @gmtgames.bsky.social. It does a nice job depicting the greener side of the country.

The new game Punicus from Carlos S. Olivares and @gmtgames.bsky.social uses Craig Besinque's formula and drops it into the Second Punic War - the one where Hannibal crossed the Alps. Looks terrific.

I ate a slice of the one on the left. This is a Carolina Reaper pepper, weighing in at 1.6 million scovilles. It was the hottest pepper in the world between 2013 to 2023 until Pepper X unseated it. It was insanely, mouth scorchingly hot for a long 15m and then mildly burny for another 45m.

Finally got my copy of the new RA! This has long been one of my favourites. Everything looks stunning. A bit redundant on the packaging maybe? Bags within bags. No bother. I'll reuse them elsewhere.

I’m growing Carolina Reapers. I’m not exactly sure why and as they ripen I’m feeling more and more obliged to eat one. Save me.
