First game of Deadball. Playing modern era 9 game Circuit from the rulebook to get bearings. A pitching duel but my Charlottesville flycatchers lost 2-1 to an 8 inning 3 run gem pitched by Broad Street’s Pam Casey!

Getting ready to try Deadball 2E. Neat little pencil and paper baseball simulation using polyhedral dice! Looks great!

Still slowly working through the main scenario of All Are Brothers. Finished turn 7 and Austrians starting to get moving snd have reinforcements stepping up. At the point though that corp morale might play a factor soon. Here is last couple turns:

All Are Brothers Solferino end of turn 2, Austrians can’t get moving except Benedek VIII Corps on the right flank. Sardinians need to get some help on that flank bad.

Today's video is Comancheria. A super heavy weight solo game about the Comanche Empire. It's a fascinating and ambitious game, a historic sandbox that takes you from their start to the reservation act and the encroachment of the USA. Definitely different. youtu.be/NwgVTSOnm-g
