"Race to Rabaul 1943" is a forthcoming addition to the "Race to the Rhine" series by PHALANX. Volko Ruhnke made an excellent game where players have to wrestle with the push and pull of logistics in the Pacific theater. The adversarial gameplay is great. #wargaming @volko.bsky.social

At #SDHISTCON, @wehrlegig.games led a game of "John Company" where people played as teams and wrote letters back and forth from India. The letters are absolute gold. I AM ROLLING! 🪙 😂

A fantastic & tight game of "Pacific Chase"! Despite early success by the US in seizing Guadalcanal, I was able to seize victory by pouncing on the southern US & ANZAC fleets for a decisive fleet engagement. The "trajectory" mechanic in this system is such an innovative mechanic.

CNA facilitated some Indo-Pacific Decision Forcing Cases for graduate students at the Bush School (Texas A&M) in DC. These simple, but challenging decision cases enable players to think through the challenges, risks, and decision space of real world problems in an engaging way.

It is always a joy to introduce #wargaming to young students who never played one before. So it was awesome to facilitate "Littoral Commander Indo-Pacific" for Swarthmore College. 🎲 💥
