"Race to Rabaul 1943" is a forthcoming addition to the "Race to the Rhine" series by PHALANX. Volko Ruhnke made an excellent game where players have to wrestle with the push and pull of logistics in the Pacific theater. The adversarial gameplay is great. #wargaming @volko.bsky.social

In early 2023 @fredserval.bsky.social made a game we could give away at PunchedCON. I enjoyed the game, and @domhnallh.bsky.social art so much, I convinced @phalanxgames.bsky.social to publish it. And here it is. Excellent production by PHALANX as always. Can't wait to play it again!

This is a really important read, on the debacle that is metal detecting in the UK, dispelling lots of myths.

The piece where I get to say everything that's bugging me about the world of detecting & archaeology & ask - why are we not more concerned about this?

Two things some folks are missing:
* The literal words “KING TRUMP” also on the jet.
* The fact it seems to be a Russian jet.

Trump's Truth Social account just posted this AI video of him flying a fighter jet that reads "King Trump."
AI Trump is wearing a crown while he dumps shit on protesters. He's such a pathetic little man.

Many 20th Century board game designers remain uncredited. This year I've tracked down designer info for 18 games. It's required artifact acquisition, access to newspaper archives, books, and even a trip from Detroit to Connecticut. My patreon producers made this possible.
