Okay, so, you've just discovered the existence of narrative skirmish games, thanks to the chuds trying to brigade 28mag, and take over trench crusade. Well, I have good news for you. There a LOTS of cool games out there which come from the same place as Trench Crusade...🧵

Hi Diversity and Dragons, I am hoping that you can explain what you believe the reading of the following thoughts of the day are, if 40k is not satire. Do you believe that the writers unironically believe them? "A logical argument must be dismissed with absolute conviction!"

Yet, has chudhammer created a modelling or art movement? No. Has it made indie games that meet its taste? No What does it take for them to start trying? Not love of the games. Not a fascination with mechanics. Not an artistic vision... No...it is just spite...

You don't need anything other than a pencil and some paper to start designing a indie narrative skirmish wargame. This is a genre of game that has existed for a long time, and the barriers to entry are basically non-existent.
