And here it is folks, my first published game. I’ve been fascinated by Sykes-Picot for years. I’m very proud of this game, and I hope people enjoy what I’m trying to do with it. I’m also deeply appreciative of Hollandspiele for taking a chance on both me and it. Hit me up if you have questions!
Amabel talks about the debut game from Brooks Barber, scheduled to be released April 29.

The School of Continuing Studies at Georgetown University will be hosting a virtual symposium on AI and wargaming on March 27. The launch of ChatGPT in December 2022 marked the beginning of a rapid race to refine and expand the capabilities of large language models. Since then, models like Anthropic’s Claude, Google’s Gemini, and Deepseek’s R1 have revolutionized content generation, decision-support tools, and human-machine interaction.

Looking for game to play which isn't monopoly...For a 'light' game with a STEM theme why not try 'Hunting Satellites' from our website: www.fightclubinternational.org/analogue-games All you need is some D6s and to print out the board and debris markers (or use coins). Bonus of learning about orbits!

Coast Watchers is unusual for a wargame in that players are not directly responsible for battles and their outcomes. Rather, each "Situation" sheet sets up a new snapshot of the military moves that swept across the South Pacific 1942-1943 - a dynamic setting for the players' intelligence struggle.
