Pet peeve time: When game designers say, “Follow the rules to the letter.” 2 things:
1. You’re telling me your game has 0 errata. A bold statement. Congrats on your perfect game.
2. It implies that you know there are parts that might be confusing and you refuse to reinforce them.

Learning Maquis with the super-easy intro missions. Perfect game to play after reading “A Woman of No Importance” by Sonia Purnell.

I finally replaced the old, dull incandescent light bulbs over my gaming table with white LED bulbs, and the difference is like night and day. Literally. I can finally read rulebooks, counters and maps!!

I should've built this dev tool in Arete a long time ago. It's so much easier now to visualize and fine-tune the CPU's initial behavior. Each counter has an overall posture that can change based on the circumstances, but in some scenarios, like this one, I want to give them a starting "nudge".

Working on a scenario for the skirmish at Lyginus 335 BC. We have next to nothing about the conflict in the sources. Anything I do for this will be complete fiction (more than other battles I've included in Arete). Arrian gave a casualty count but we don't even know how many soldiers took part. 🧵 1/2

SNEAK PEEK 👀: I'm working on adding scenarios to my game Arete: The Battles of Alexander the Great. This one is a hypothetical battle between two identical full-strength Macedonian armies. Perfect for two human players to have a balanced game settle their differences. ⚔️

When playing some wargames, I really feel like I’m just stacking as many units together in attack. I don’t get the feeling of the battle in question, nor of the period, technology and tactics of the time. #HexesForever #HexAndCounter #Wargames

I told someone on BGG that I was interested in buying a game they were selling. I had to withdraw from my purchase for life reasons, so I apologised. I never heard back from him, but I felt guilty; it used to bug me when people backed out of buying a game I was selling, or never got back to me to complete the purchase. C'est la vie, sometimes.

Why haven't used prices dropped for the original "Battle For Normandy" (GMT) from Danny Holte?

Since I've had a few people ask, the dice rolls in Arete are completely random and not manipulated to change difficulty (that would be lame). If you find your opponent is constantly rolling well while you're rolling badly, just know that....

OK Dragoons!
Give us a shelfie going into the weekend – what's the 3rd game on your 3rd wargame shelf?
(if you have more than one "3rd shelf" stop bragging!)Reply below & share your #wargameshelfie & last time you played that game 🤠

Loving some Advanced Squad Leader tonight. Playing S2 of the starter kit, rules are making sense in my head more each game.
Buying a perspex sheet and some dry wipe markers really helps keep deployments and objectives straight in my head, best £10 I've spent!
The Russians are getting thoroughly trounced though, let's hope for a lucky roll to bring in the reinforcements!

In your own words (and preferably without being vague), what’s the difference between a wargame and a conflict simulation?
Bonus question: What’s your favorite consim?

This has been sitting on my table set up for weeks but finally had a minute to make the first couple of moves. “Constantinople” from Strategy & Tactics issue 318

An activity that sometimes blurs the line into work is teaching folks how to play board #wargames at the #TheWargameBootcamp. We regularly attend such California cons as #PacificonGameExpo & #SDHist.
The goal is to teach folks how to play #boardgames with a historical flavour aka #consim, #hexandcounter, and various types of board #wargames. Our audience could be newbies, #Grognard, or returnees to the #boardgame hobby. We aim to teach games in an entertaining & an informative manner.

My first cardboard crush were #wargames by such #boardgame publishers as SPI, AH, and GDW. I have dabbled with miniature & computer #wargaming but counters are 😍
The #SoCalWargamers group meets in Pasadena and uses a Google group to plot our shenanigans. We mostly play historical boardgame wargames aka #consim or #hexandcounter games.
I’m a regular attendee at the #GMTGames #WeekendAtTheWarehouse, #SDHist, & #PacificonGameExpo cons.
Why yes, I am a #CounterClipper too! -
