I gently squeezed the trigger today on Chad Jensen's Combat Commander. #LateToTheParty. The 20th Anniversary Edition seemed like a good excuse to finally add this one to my collection. @gmtgames.bsky.social
Now I'm just waiting for it to arrive in Canada.

First Impressions of Master of Command
Master of Command is an odd pup
You need to walk into this game with this basic knowledge: This is a combination Roguelite & RTS Wargame hybrid

There have been multiple close-calls in my life that nearly made my game design career untenable for too long.
It takes so long to start to get properly paid on a consistent enough basis.
I still struggle, but with my first of many releases out—that will soon change.

why did i decide to spend my life writing novels, novels are hard to write and don't pay shit
i should have pursued something easier and more lucrative
something respectable, like designing board games

As interesting as what Purple Haze calls itself, perhaps more interesting in what it does not call itself. A major game mechanism the ad material fails to mention is that Purple Haze is a cooperative game.
