Won my first solo game as the Armée Secrète (a great persona for beginners or designers who need to get good).

Votes for women in all it's wonderful glory.

Though glory is the part I don't seem to have mastered yet!

A bit of a bad dice game, and I couldn't get congress over the line after.

I think I'm still showing my naivety at war games!

Folks, it's fun and it's in stock. Grab a copy of Votes for Women for someone on your Christmas list or for yourself (we listen and we don't judge).

Today's the anniversary of the Battle of the Falkland Islands in 1914. A rare example of battlecruisers doing exactly what they were built for.

Amongst the active participants were Muriel Felton, a sheep farmer, and her maids Christina Goss and Marian Macleod.

After running our ads for two days, Facebook has pulled them just like with our campaign for Votes for Women. It’s like a digital advertising Groundhog Day.

A kind BGG user sold me his copy of the second installment of Ancients, the criminally underrated game by Bill Banks. Happy to own both now. Quick and elegant system, and a throng of evocative scenarios that translate really well to miniatures

A huge “thank you” to everyone I’ve encountered here (okay, apart from _that_ one) because we do seem to be recreating pretty much what it _used_ to be like in The Other Place before Squeaklord Snikch took over & dumped his poison wind globes everywhere. So let’s do all we can to keep it civilised.

For no particular reason…

Wanted to bring this 🧵 over from the abandoned place.

Just in case the issue of naming military bases after treasonous slave owners ever became popular again.

Siguiendo la idea de @zillablitz.bsky.social voy a crear un Starter Pack sobre cuentas que traten sobre wargames 🪖. ¿Me ayudáis a confeccionarla con un referido o una cita? ¡Gracias!
