I'm gearing up to get my first GMT titles, but why do they look like this? I am almost impressed by their commitment to this look

My Zinequest project is live!
In Small Folk in Big Coats you each play as a little guy in a stack masquerading a single big guy. You're unlikely to get caught, but you’re even less likely to work together.
It’s very silly and easy to get playing. Go Check it out!

So #BoardGame publishers - maybe think about whether or not someone who leaves random sexist comments on board game videos is someone you want in the credits of your rulebook as a proofer/editor.

Ryan Reynolds do you wanna buy an indie publishing company 👉👈
Five years ago today, Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac completed their takeover of Wrexham 🐲
What has happened since is nothing short of remarkable. Three promotions later, Wrexham sit 73 places higher in the football pyramid, in the Championship playoffs, and can keep looking up 💪

Maybe the company-level special weapon cards are turned face down when used, and turned face up when the company hq is activated. I don't want a rifle company running around with their bazooka every turn.

And the special weaponry would function as a smaller version of the platoon cards, offering different actions each platoon in that company can take.

My current idea is there's a company HQ counter, and on the corresponding card a half-dozen different modes the company can be in. When that unit is activated you can shift from aggressive (-1 DEF, +1 ATT) to movement (+2 MOV on roads) for passive effects.

Updating the counters to show company info. This is a rifle platoon, A company, 1st platoon. I want to add company and special weaponry to cards, but I'm not sure if they should both use the same system, or if they should be passive/active.

I'm thinking that will remain the idea - you control up to the battalion level - but maybe that will be the largest extent, with many games being subsets of this.

I'm doing a bit of research into what a 'battalion' actually puts into the field, and it's a whole bunch of stuff. There's a HQ unit for each company, for instance, let alone the heavy weapons on the overall battalion HQ. So there's a buncha stuff I need to add.
