A sneak peek at the map for the new 25th anniversary edition (3rd edition) of "The Napoleonic Wars" from @gmtgames.bsky.social, compared with the 1st and 2nd edition maps (courtesy BGG user: ozimek).
Sad news for @ospreygames.bsky.social.
I just backed An Infamous Traffic: Second Edition by Cole Wehrle on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/col... @wehrlegig.games
"Personal Demons" looks kind of fascinating and fresh, and I really like the artwork. I'll be keeping an eye on this project. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/44... @tettix.bsky.social
Oh an incidentally it appears to be live on Kickstarter right now. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tet...
Speaking of @vucasimulations.bsky.social - this is the game I would most like to try of theirs. Thirty Years Of Misery covers the thirty years war (1618-1648). This is listed as a 2-4 player game. Not sure how well it works multi-handed solo. Looks great though! Well done @domhnallh.bsky.social.
What an image. @vucasimulations.bsky.social has some gorgeous boxes, like this one for Pacific Fleet: Rise & Fall of the Japanese Empire.
This is a fascinating piece of military history; a direct response to the pikes which threatened to make cavalry obsolete. Here's how the caracole manuever worked: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPK2....
@epichistory.bsky.social does it again, with a fantastic new upload looking at the battles of Quatre Bras and Ligny. youtu.be/_C3-OK0Y2eQ?...
@tdraicer.bsky.social I just saw the note from you in the GMT newsletter and thought that was pretty cool. "Go ahead and use my system, but please avoid X topics, cuz I want to do those!". That's pretty neat.
Fancy new box art for one of the best games of all time... Dominant Species! @ianotoole.bsky.social @allplay.bsky.social Looking π₯.
Without knowing anything about the game itself, I love this. Great artwork and a great topic, following the women who delivered books to isolated communities in the Appalachian region in the early 20th century. Terrific theme. @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social
I'm very intrigued (as I'm sure many are) to see how this new edition changes An Infamous Traffic. Will this one be as dramatic a change as Pax Pamir or JoCo 2nd Editions? I'm signed up for notifications! @wehrlegig.games
This looks like stupid, hilarious fun. I love the Schoolhouse Rock vibe of the art. @cmyk.games
This booty washed up on deck today. Courtesy of @fortcircle.bsky.social - a shiny copy of "The Hunt For Blackbeard"! It's a 2p asymmetric game with a fascinating spin on hidden movement/information, and it explores a slice of history from the golden age of piracy. It's a salty dog!
I didn't realize that Bear Trap, the upcoming @gmtgames.bsky.social title about the Soviet-Afghan War, was a block wargame - at least until I saw the back of the box. I do like block games, and the block "dispositions" are interesting (mobilized, fortified, disordered, etc). Now I'm intrigued!
I just took a dump in the kitchen. It's all over the counter tops and walls. You didn't help me clean it up, so go make your own dinner.
