I concur that, unless you are specifically after the American Revolution as a setting, The British Way will be a better COIN Series entry point than Liberty or Death.

It was indeed 3 #boardgmes from #GMTGames whose shipping package weighed 19lbs.

Mr President - solo/team game on being the US President.
Border Reivers - multiplayer English/Scot border strife in the 16th century.
People Power - 3 player #COINSeries on the Philippines in the 80’s.

Thanks for the review, @DrCrossbows!

And for anyone interested in a deep dive into the nature of insurgency as modeled (and not modeled) in this and related game designs, you cannot beat this conversation with The British Way designer Stephen Rangazas.

Atten-shun! The British Way #COINSeries #boardgame is a impressive package. Lots of top notch goodies in the box. Four 2-player games that can be combined into a campaign. Brilliant! I got to play the Palestine game at the #WeekendAtTheWarehouse and it was quick to play and focused.

Rally the Troops implementation of Andean Abyss in initial testing with site creator Tor and ace L&C developer Christophe.

@capnmarko
The Insurgents can fail to notice a Govt potential for a big Civic Action gain. I have seen this happen on the final Prop also.

Thanks for the readout!

So many stories left to tell.

Charlie Theel review of COIN-inspired Robotech Reconstruction: of interest near bottom, thoughts on how historical wargame theme can affect emotional experience of play.

#boardgame design and development can be a long process. So it’s always nice to see a friend’s design make the leap from playtest to final artwork. Congrats to Ken Tee for his People Power #COINSeries game getting closer to production. Here is the box art.

This is one of the COINish WWII Italy designs: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/340598/italy-43-45-la-resa-dei-conti
The other is unpublished so far, called "Spiders' Nest", somewhat more involved.

Got 2 new to COIN players and 1 one time COIN player and me one my fifth multiplayer COIN game to play.

Myself as the Syndicate managed to hit +1 on my win condition due to the timely arrival of Mr. Sinatra and my opponents ended up -1, -1, and -3 on their win conditions in the final Propaganda round.

Cuba Libre (Knives Out scenario) yesterday. I managed to win as the Government! #COINSeries #CubaLibre

Made a couple pickups today at the flgs. Looking forward to my first COIN game with Fire in the Lake from @Volko and Mark Herman. Also very excited to try the classic The Russian Campaign from way before I got bit by the #hexandcounter bug. Got my time over the holidays all planned out. #wargaming #consim #COINSeries

So today I finished a #COINSeries game of #FallingSky with my wife. It was nailbiting until the last card, where I managed to win by a small margin as Ceasar.

We both enjoyed it and will probably play it again. Faction leaders and non-player faction are not that difficult to manage and control of the territory is really straightforward. I think that in the next game we should focus more on using special abilities of each faction, which could make a difference in the end.
