This weekend was Hex-and-Counter weekend with @nwinches.bsky.social - Crossing the Line: Aachen 1944, Fighting Formations: Grossdeutschland Motorized Infantry Division, and South Pacific (EotS). Two were new, and I had to recall everything to explain SP - my brain hurts

Got to play @vucasimulations.bsky.social 's Crossing the Line: Aachen 1944 with @nwinches.bsky.social this weekend and I was really impressed with the game. The systems are really engaging for activation and combat. I'm looking forward to trying it again.

7 PoG games:
1st (short, rules learning)
2nd longer, we had no clue what we were in for.
3-7 RtT - lots of lessons learned, feel stuck. Starting to watch other games and what they are doing.
Learned: RtT's "dice" are just as mean to other players as they are to us. They hate everyone

This is old, but for folks grabbing the new Combat Commander - here are a few Litko upgrades you can grab to pimp up your set (and truly, you will hope for a spreading blaze every game just to see it on the map). boardgamegeek.com/thread/45881...

Hey René,
I bought those with the text on them. Litko offers several customizable counter options, so I picked out the shape, color, and the custom text, and they put it together for a reasonable pri...

Introduce yourself using a food you refuse to eat, a film you’ll never watch again, a song you can’t stand
1. Lots of choices, but stinky food - cheese, durian, etc. NOPE
2. Burn After Reading - not funny, none of the characters had an ounce of redeeming qualities.
3. Clapton's Wonderful Tonight

1. Eggplant is slimy boogers. Yes, even the way "you" make it.
2. Last of the Mohicans is the only film I've ever walked out of.
3. Stairway to Heaven.

1. Pineapple is really repulsive.
2. "Salo" was absolutely the worst date night I ever had
3. There were some strong contenders but then Samhain made me listen to Temporary Secretary

Could be the furthest along we've gone where things still feel like it could utterly collapse in either direction. This game is rough. I thought Twilight Struggle was rough, but that game is rainbows and cupcakes next to the emotional brutality of PoG

First game of PoG for @nwinches.bsky.social and I some time ago. Just the intro scenario to learn the game. We've finished 3 games since and have yet to learn this lesson. Seriously - those three all ended badly because of supply.

USPS prices are going to increase Oct 5th through at least the end of the year. You know - like everything else, the prices keep going up on everything. At what point will our dear leader save us money and lower prices?

First PoG (on Rally the Troops) loss. I'm hoping this is more like the pattern of Labyrinth games I played against @nwinches.bsky.social - a bunch of losses followed by thrashing him over and over once some things clicked ;)

The learning curve on big games like Paths of Glory can be rough. First there are the rules and game mechanics (there seems like there are lots of little exceptions in the rules). Then there is figuring out how those come together in the general flow of play.

Kimmel’s original comments were as follows: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”
