1PM on south Mountain, just before the reinfocements start coming on. My rebs have held him out of Fox's Gap, but the battle for Turner's Gap is coming.

My sister-in-law came over for Indian food and a movie last night and said she had a late arrival Christmas present for me. I was not expecting this. It’s going to be a bit before I get around to cracking it open but I’m very excited and quite interested in potential conflict gaming. #consim #nextwar #GMT

Talked the pup into spending the morning watching Fred and Mark play the South Pacific scenario of Empire of the Sun. Really an invaluable resource in helping solidify some of the rules. Excited to make my own attempt this evening. #empireofthesun #consim

Getting ready for a game of SPQR. #gmtgames #consim Bagradas Plains scenario.

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

During my latest game of Rostov '41 from #mmp, I took a picture before every turn, aligned perspective and brightness a bit, and created an animation out of the resulting 9 images.

Set playback speed to 0.25 or even better, pause the video and use the dot and comma keys, to navigate frame by frame.

This has been sitting on my table set up for weeks but finally had a minute to make the first couple of moves. “Constantinople” from Strategy & Tactics issue 318

After watching @ardwulf ’s weekly Monday video last night reviewing Dan Essing games, I was intrigued by the mentions of two games on different fronts of the Yom Kippur War. Anyone here have thoughts on either of these installments in #multimanpub Standard Combat Series? #HexesForever #consim

For anyone here that I haven't met yet, here's a link to my podcasts:

Had to take advantage of the hollandspiele sale.

This year I'm trying Tiny Table Battles and At All Costs.

An activity that sometimes blurs the line into work is teaching folks how to play board #wargames at the #TheWargameBootcamp. We regularly attend such California cons as #PacificonGameExpo & #SDHist.

The goal is to teach folks how to play #boardgames with a historical flavour aka #consim, #hexandcounter, and various types of board #wargames. Our audience could be newbies, #Grognard, or returnees to the #boardgame hobby. We aim to teach games in an entertaining & an informative manner.

My first cardboard crush were #wargames by such #boardgame publishers as SPI, AH, and GDW. I have dabbled with miniature & computer #wargaming but counters are 😍

The #SoCalWargamers group meets in Pasadena and uses a Google group to plot our shenanigans. We mostly play historical boardgame wargames aka #consim or #hexandcounter games.

I’m a regular attendee at the #GMTGames #WeekendAtTheWarehouse, #SDHist, & #PacificonGameExpo cons.
Why yes, I am a #CounterClipper too!

Skies Above Britain #boardgame by Jerry White & Gina Willis and published by #GMTGames. An impressive package indeed. The rules are richly illustrated & easy to follow. Lots of detailed playaids, and nice and clear counters. SaB can be played solo or with 2 players.
Listening to the music from the 1969 Battle of Britain film is mandatory while playing. Or so I’ve told myself 🤪

Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm is released. Looking forward to trying a new edition of this #wargame classic, one of the best computer-based #consim games around. https://www.matrixgames.com/game/flashpoint-campaigns-southern-storm
