Huoltoreitti (supply chain or supply rout in Finnish) is Finnish blog on war and conflict themed board and card games. https://huoltoreitti.fi/

Testing Finnish Civil War (2017), developed by Brian Train and published by Compass Games in Paper Wars magazine. Interesting design, in where White side need to fight a war and develop army, while Red side try to gain enough momentum to keep fighting until the bitter end. #boardwargames

Participated in the Baltic Wargaming Convention in Helsinki. Was interesting to try out several early modern wargames, including the brand new Baltic Empires (GMT), Time of Troubles (still under development) and the Great Northern Wars system. Looking forward to getting my hands on these!

Hey look what I just got! I’ve heard lots of nice things about Battlegroup Clash from one of its playtesters. Who I know is also pretty knowledgeable about the topic it simulates. AFAIK this is the commercial version of a game the British Army uses. #wargaming

I've agreed with Avalon Digital to design a new digital wargame for them with the working title of Estonia 2028. It will use their SGS system, and I'm going to go big on multi domain effects.
