(Yes, we had two different terrain maps.) Our Battle of Aspern-Essling is going a bit poorly for the Austrians at the moment, but we're only about one-third through and there's still a lot of them coming. Rules are "Valour and Fortitude". @armchairdragoons.bsky.social

While we’ll be running a game of Midgard Heroic Battles, I haven’t painted a single figure. The game is the work of the Hastings 960 project, portraying England’s most famous battle with 16,000 minis from Peter’s Paperboys . #miniatures #wargaming #midgardheroicbattles #spreadthelard #nerdlings

Dstl: Defending Defender
Defending Defender is a wargame about strategic communications developed by the UK Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl). It is based on a Russian attempt to disrupt HMS Defender’s innocent passage through Crimean waters in 2021. The game is designed for 2-8 players. It does not require a moderator, and no wargaming or strategic communications experience is required to play. You'll find the Dstl press release here. The British Forces Broadcasting Service have also covered the game—you'll find their report (and another video) here.

Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.
