#Chain#reaction setups are called Rube Goldberg machines, named after the American cartoonist who first illustrated them in the early 1900s.

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,
"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

Shakhtar Stadium in Donetsk after 11 years of so-called "liberation" by Russian militants. The "Russian world" in full display—Donetsk feels the decay of occupation.
Democratic Congressman Tom Suozzi just received a huge standing ovation in a Trump +5 Congressional District at Hofstra University after talking about how despicable Trump‘s behavior was in the Oval Office with Zelensky. Americans are furious.

For Blue Monday we can't think of anything more appropriate than this charming depiction of a man getting his face eaten off by a leopard.

Fancy trying a different set of horse & musket rules for the new year? Shot, Steel & Stone might be just the ticket! Sensibly priced, no rebasing required (so Black Powder players will feel at home), they give fun games with historically plausible results. amzn.eu/d/jg00PxH

The other day, I was giving a ride to an Azov guy I know.
And he was like...
"Sometimes, I find myself praying that the next shell comes for me and delivers me from this hell on earth. Sometimes, Russians on comms don't get it why we laugh as we repel their meat grinder assaults...
The rains batter the two opposing armies. An officer bellows orders, getting his men into position, for battle is imminent...

On a small road surrounded by hedgerow, two groups of spearmen engage one another in battle.

The following pictures were taken earlier this year, of a #wargame between myself and a friend. A 1,000pts battle using my own rules that I've worked on for years: Age of Warlords.
I hope to talk a bit more about it in this thread here:
The game relies on formations, and armour and weapon equipment, but also the orders that you use from your Warlord could make all the difference in the battle.
The basic rules will soon be released on Wargames Vault. I'm currently rewriting a larger ruleset, which includes many things, such as:
Special weapon rules.
Army and Nation Special Rules.
Rules for elephants, siege weapons, and chariots.
Multiplayer rules
Castle Battles
Campaign rules, a chance to fight for your imaginary kingdom!
I plan to write other rules for other eras, like black powder, 20th century, and modern era.

I hope to talk a bit more about it in this thread here:
The game is set around the idea of Imagine-Nations. Building your own kingdom in a fantasy world, and fighting other opponents from small skirmishes to massive battles. Leading these armies is one model, The Warlord. It is he or she that barks out orders.
There was a young man at brigade,
Staff work was his primary trade,
But in an off hour,
He used his brain power,
And soldierly smut he purveyed.
It's amazing what can turn up in the #archives. This, from a #WW2 brigade war diary, is a reminder that people sat behind the words.
#Wargamers fans! Writing my own rules out for a long time, mainly to do things that others haven't done. But now I'm wondering, is there anything you would like to see in a #wargame that hasn't been done yet?
I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...”
...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.
