Haven't followed #wargames much since varsity, but this Great Anglo-Boer War looks well done and has me curious and ready to swim again. There certainly seems much passion involved in this seminal Victorian war that set the tone for 20th century conflicts.

All set up to do the Example of Play for Salerno 43. First time actually playing a ZOC Bond title and in reading the rules it seems fiddlier than it did watching play-throughs. And I’m not sure how the Floating Reserve works but maybe my questions will be answered in following the example.

I’m curious if anyone, especially in former communist European countries, recalls #WarsawPact institutions ever using #wargames to explore a possible invasion of West Germany? #WestEndGames classics like Air & Armor and Air Cav come to mind, though I know other titles exist in this genre.

Gestern WarGames nochmal gesehen. 1983, Supercomputer hält sein Spiel für den Ernstfall. Heute Cloud, Sprachmodelle, und wir glauben der Anzeige trotzdem.
Kurzer Essay: WOPR, digitale Abhängigkeit, und warum die größte Lücke zwischen Bildschirm und Bürostuhl sitzt.

Sunday saw a return of both game day in general and also for Advanced Squad Leader. We did the next scenario in the starter kit (the Rat War of Stalingrad in September of '43).
I played the Russians cause I didn't get a chance to read the flamethrower or demo charge rules which were new. We got through about 2/3rds of the game before we ran out of time. I rolled well for most of the game and I think my shock troops could have overcome the Germans to hold one of the three victory spots had we had enough time.

I have to stop checking my email when I'm supposed to be working.
My head exploded again.
Not one more fucking penny for the Department of Defense.

Painting mechs for my nephew’s mercenary company. Will be my second run through of Scouring Sands. Such a good campaign in a box.
Meanwhile starting to refresh my memory of classic Battletech to try that out.

Just played yesterday my first session in a year of Red Alter by #RichardBorg.
How it started and ended. It was a narrow win for me, red, by one lucky roll.

DVG embracing the AI art.
"...our choice is to use either AI generated ship art, or use historical photos of the ships. In either case, a human artist would not be involved."
Depressing that 186 people "liked" this and are OK with paying money for AI slop they could freely generate themselves.

Minor update for Arete: Battles of Alexander today, but I did tweak the VP requirements for the Pelium scenario so you'll have to update to the latest version (1.2.10) play online.
Arete is on iOS, Android, and Steam (Win and Mac).

Maleghast Battle Report: Berserk in the Membrane
I just finished cooking the next one. https://youtu.be/aGicG4X09z0?si=UXI1IO0Tswv-R2mi In this video I've added something I've been thinking of doing since the first one, which is to have little animations when a unit acts or a SOUL ability is being used. These appear as little animations on the bottom of each side acting. The process to create these was fairly straightforward. First step was the place the unit art on a "green screen" background, since the model is not capable of […]https://dbzer0.com/blog/maleghast-battle-report-berserk-in-the-membrane/

Maleghast Battle Reports
So now that I have pretty much finished the Magnagothica: Maleghast print & play process , my hyperfocus descended on me over the weekend and I ended up making a whole-ass battle report. I got the idea because I randomly stumbled onto a video about how to make such battle reports, and also because I wanted to consume some more Maleghast content online but I found there was an absolute dearth of it online. This post will detail the creation steps, but first and without further ado, here's my […] -
Une partie mémorable ! GoGots se fait littéralement manger par la Bête. Normal, quand on ne mélange pas assez le Jeu de la Bête, il se venge. Grand merci à GoGots, pour la partie et ses retours sur le jeu. #j2s #tcg #wargames https://youtube.com/live/uIX9gCp8pug?feature=share

@DarkestKale I still think we underappreciate what #wargames and traditional #roguelike games give us in terms of graphical freedom: people still make Wargames with the ISO tiles, and roguelikes with ASCII. Why can't we think about simplified, clear art to make these as smaller 'things' that can just be finished with the gameplay, before moving on?
