Here's the first peek at the board for The Pure Land: Onin War in Muromachi Japan, 1465-1477 from @gmtgames.bsky.social. This looks absolutely terrific, and just like that - there's suddenly a new COIN game for my consideration. Thanks a lot, @zweigefuhle.bsky.social. 😉

Here's the cover art for Brian Asklev's Baltic Empires. Gorgeous! @zweigefuhle.bsky.social @gmtgames.bsky.social

The Christmas gift from my daughter. One of wonderful aspects of loving in France is the unmitigated love you feel here for old books and vintage prints. There are second-hand/specialty booksellers almost everywhere. The typefaces alone in this volume are absolutely gorgeous.

Outstanding support and encouragement from @playersaidblog.bsky.social for the the Old Northwest series by High Flying Dice Games. If anyone has pushed me to continue the series, it's really Grant and Alexander. Special mention to @wetlir.bsky.social for all the help and additional research. 🎯

The Players’ Aid@playersaidblog.bsky.social · 2y ago

New game arrival day! Battles of the Old Northwest Series Volume VI: A Most Resolute Action, Fort Meigs, 1813 from High Flying Dice Games designed by Paul Rohrbaugh and illustrated by @zweigefuhle.bsky.social Beautiful game!

There's a special quality to Stuart's insightful reviews that shines through, most likely the very enjoyable and personal musings as he comes to grips with Solitaire designs. A joy to read.

This took a while to come together, and is weirder than usual as a result: a joint review of Halls of Hegra by Petter Schanke Olsen/@tompetgames.bsky.social and Lanzerath Ridge by @djackthompson.bsky.social, @zweigefuhle.bsky.social www.stuartellisgorman.com/blog/halls-of-hegra-and-lanzerath-ridge

High drama on the road to Tango-2: With the third episode, @letsplayhistory.bsky.social brings us to turn 11 in his ongoing playthrough of Operation Bøllebank. A Solitaire game on the Danish peacekeepers in Bosnia, April 1994. @snafustore.bsky.social

Jan (he/him) | Let's Play History@letsplayhistory.bsky.social · 2y ago

In April 1994, Danish Leopards rushed south from Tuzla to relief Swedish forces at outpost Tango-2 which were under fire by Bosnian Serbs. They ran into a night ambush. Can we get through? #wargaming #wargames #unprofor #peacekeeping #bosnianwar #norbat #soloboardgames youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Still available from Bonsai Games in Japan. 🙃 Berlin 1945 - Fall of the Reichstag. Details of the game map.

Then ... this unfolded majestically on the screen. Dune Prophecy. ❤️ @ivancaceres.bsky.social

A precise and very clear overview of the gameplay for Operation Bøllebank. Note that the ease with which @esparver73.bsky.social handles those tweezers denotes 'grognard' status. 🎖️

Superb game play of our Operation Bollebank -> youtu.be/M_WJbyytX8A?...

Bogged down, for the past few days, in the minutiae of rules editing. Always an ambivalent moment, no?You don't advance on *anything* else as your thoughts are constantly wrapped around modifications and cross-referencing rules sections. But somehow, I sleep better than on most days. 🤪

Probably the most enjoyable resource running in the background or, in my case, on a second screen, while working on maps or on game projects. Georgetown University Wargaming Society's webinar series: www.youtube.com/@georgetownu...

Operation Bøllebank. The relief of Tango 2, Bosnia and Herzegovina, April 29, 1994. My latest collab with the amazing team @snafustore.bsky.social For those interested in the game and topic, there's a live playthrough in a couple of hours. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfBn...

It's always been a dream to work with Japanese publisher. When living in Asia, 'Six angles' or 'Game Journal' magazines for example were always at the forefront of wargaming graphics. This make-over of "Bulge20" is an homage to Robert M. Chapin Jr., the Time Magazine cartographer during WW2.

Stuart Ellis-Gorman@drcrossbows.bsky.social · 2y ago

I'm trying to not buy too many games right now, but I couldn't resist the combination of @zweigefuhle.bsky.social art and a small box package.
