This is a great opportunity to highlight some 2025 releases like Onoda from @fgradaille.bsky.social , Chicago '68 from @yoyoni.bsky.social , and In the Shadows from @josephnschmidt.bsky.social and yours truly.

I'm so in love with these Lord figures that Matthew Wallhead did for my upcoming game Henry that I wanted to share them again. Still work in progress, but love the monumental brass look Matthew captured here.

Six figures in black and either red or blue of Lord figures for the upcoming game Henry: The Agincourt Campaign 1415 from GMT Games.

Striking From the Dark - In the Shadows Review @gmtgames.bsky.social @danbullock.bsky.social @josephnschmidt.bsky.social

Striking From the Dark – In the Shadows Review

Seldom has a game become so relevant to modern times between conception and final production as In the Shadows - Resistance in France 1943-44 has become (I'm assuming it's been in the planning stages for numerous years, anyway). This game is a 2-player, 45-60 minute (BGG says 30-45 minutes, and maybe that's true once you're familiar with it) game about the French Resistance in World War II fighting against the occupying German forces.

I've always loved Dan's work, and was equal parts excited and terrified for him to review it. Really proud of the work we did and glad that it shines through.

In the Shadows emphasizes the heroism of French resistance to German occupation, while also cluttering some of the romantic notion of the "French Resistance." It is a solid, and unfortunately timely, little board game. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/04/03/i...
