I got Pax Pamir for my birthday. Very excited about it. Reading the rules I can see this is a classic Cole Wehrle game. The map only has 6 spaces, there aren't that many components and each action, in its own, seems quite straightforward. But I can already tell that the huge

At least the AI is really dumb in battles.
Pisses me tf off when I'm playing a game called Total War and a computer-controlled opponent attacks me. Like, no, I'm supposed to conquer YOU. You can't attack me.

New unboxing video for Werwolf from a happy customer!. I like how Mike compliments the font size used in the rulebook, saying even his old man eyes can read it easily. Check it out here:.

Saw this beautiful painting of Saint Sergius, a Russian Orthodox Saint who had a friendly bear that followed him round. Reminded me of the board game Scythe, and Wotjek the bear from Poland in WW2. The Eastern European tradition of having a pet bear is so cool.

There are so many categories of experience from the ancient and medieval world that are lost to us. Like the feeling of returning from a victorious battle and having a huge feast of meat and ale, honouring the dead through song and ritual, and then partying hard. You get hints

Very interesting thread - a peak behind the curtain of Chinese naval strategy:.
This article is a good example of where we would benefit from actually reading what the Chinese are writing rather than drawing exclusively from our own lessons. From their writings it is clear that they are not building a “risk fleet” for the goal of being a regional power …

A brief insight on Biblical history which I've found as a result of research for my game on the Old Testament. Goliath, in the famous David and Goliath story, is a giant. Meaning a remnant of the Nephilim or Rephaim, probably an Amalekite refugee who fled into Philistine cities

I can see the appeal of bespoke wargames - very specific games designed for a specific purpose. Especially for making the big costly decisions in a military, like force design. But game design is hard and requires a lot of play-testing and iteration to get it right. You can't

First time playing a wargame was a revelation (it was Axis and Allies). First time playing a euro game was another revelation (it was Catan). The next big one for me was the COIN series, which had elements of both.

Replay value is not necessarily increased by having a variety of different set ups or lots of optional rules and scenarios. Tons of games essentially have the same starting point for every session but can still branch off into a million directions due to player choices. Main.
