I’m breaking my “no Xmas before Thanksgiving” rule: my #ManeuverWarfare #cardgame from @thedietzfoundation.bsky.social is a great stocking stuffer for the #wargamer in your life. Crunchy like a big game but slides into your cargo pocket—or stocking!

That time of the month again. Trying to figure out if I can justify my GMT p500, soon to be charged, orders. Got Italy '43, NW Taiwan, Stalingrad '42 and Unconditional Surrender! Western Campaigns all on tap. Really don't want to drop any of those but what a bill that is!

“the story of the #crossbronxexpressway is a lens through which we can better understand our modern world.”

pre-orders charging means the game ships soon. i recorded a podcast called endnotes to hold folk over while they wait for it to arrive.

I for one am perfectly happy with a terse ChatGPT 5. 100% of the time, my use cases are about finding answers to problems; flattery gets in the way.

It was great to show off the print proof for #ManeuverWarfare from @thedietzfoundation.bsky.social at Modern Day Marine & even better to be able to tell people it’s in the production pipeline now! Pre-order today before it ships & you get the $30 pre-tariff price

Full on air combat broke out on the Oresund Strait after a dramatic gun/missile exchange occurred in the Kattegat between a US JF and a Russian fleet supported by cyber/air cover. @sebastianbae.bsky.social LC: The Baltic is incredible. The Russian fleet died south of Copenhagen but it was tense.
