"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

As much as I liked the games I played (to be described on my next podcast), I also liked the other opportunities at @sdhistcon.bsky.social . I went to the nearby Sunset Cliffs, saw the impressive Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery, and listened to more seminar panels.

A fantastic & tight game of "Pacific Chase"! Despite early success by the US in seizing Guadalcanal, I was able to seize victory by pouncing on the southern US & ANZAC fleets for a decisive fleet engagement. The "trajectory" mechanic in this system is such an innovative mechanic.
