  1. A correction: we played #Nevsky 1e.

    I actually quite like this #wargame. The rules, which aren’t very well structured or are difficult to understand, and the sometimes unnecessary complexity dampened my enjoyment of the #game.
    I love it when #history is taught as a side note.

  2. Let me put it this way: I think #Nevsky is an interesting #wargame – in my opinion, it’s quite complex, or rather multi-layered. For me, at over 40 degrees, it was simply too much!
    Unfortunately, the rules are poorly structured.
    I’d like to play it again, but the upcoming 2nd Ed.

  3. I’m off to Frankfurt for #FREERPGDAY to meet up with friends. In the afternoon, we’ll probably be playing #GMT 's #Nevsky: Teutons and Rus in Collision, 1240–1242, 2nd Ed. At least, that’s the plan. "Wood for Sheep" #games aren’t really my thing; I definitely prefer #wargames! #ttrpg #boardgames

  4. Here's an #introduction to this account

    I'm @[email protected] and this is the account where, I guess, I'll talk about - and maybe post pictures related to - my board game habits

    Some games to which I more or less know the rules at this point, in no particular order: #TwilightStruggle, the shorter #TSRedSea, #ImperialStruggle, the excellent #BayonetsAndTomahawks produced by talented locals, #HereIStand, #VirginQueen, #PaxRenaissance, #PaxPamir, #Arcs, maybe #JohnCompany but I'm not certain, and at least the Breaking the Bismarck Barrier scenario of #EmpireOfTheSun (finally, a game with real hexes). I have played several COIN games but the one I like the most is #AndeanAbyss. I love #DominantSpecies. I'm starting to love #Nevsky

    Definitely not a tabletop board game but I'm also a big fan of #CivilizationVI, e.g. #Civ6. More hexes!

    Interested in playing more games with locals, connecting with other people in town, or playing with other places' locals when I'm out of town. Looking at you, Ontario

    I don't use Facebook, Discord, or almost any spyware social media if I can help it - and I only use BoardgameGeek begrudgingly. Happy to be on wargamers.social now, I've been thinking about spinning up a more game-focused account for awhile but it's always been on the backburner 😀

  5. The Russians advertise new buildings in the "#Nevsky" neighborhood of #Mariupol, on their propaganda channels.

    But in reality, houses built only a year ago are already starting to crumble.

  6. This game is full of interesting ideas. Only the rules are very fiddly which makes learning it difficult and let’s the play time explode. #boardgames #nevsky #GmtGames

  7. Started the full campaign of #Nevsky last night, and got through three turns. We were going slow and careful and checking rules, it should speed up as we get more comfortable. Mind melting decision making though! #boardgame #wargame
