Got to wonder if GAMA should of just cancelled Origins altogether when the lock downs started instead of shifting to an online model in too short a time.

What is CSS and OSS series?

CSS = Company Scale System, an evolution of the TCS series that Starkweather (the designer) did back at MMP

OSS = Operational Scale Series, designed to 'feel' like a monster, but theoretically play in a single (long) day.

honestly come outside the historical game category, most of them are defensible. They're not the kind of games we would prefer to play but they were all popular and will regard it.

The historical board game category though is exactly what everyone was afraid it would become....

Yeah, I guess I can see that. I mean, you're right, the history category must have been pretty thin, or the judges clueless.

Admittedly, some I've never heard of. I'm hoping the podcast will help alleviate my out-of-touchness with other games in those veins. We'll see.

I'm on my work laptop, which has SJG blocked, so I had to go to another machine to see them. And they are indeed puppy dice.

Do I need puppy dice? Or kitty dice? (The cat would say yes, but she was having fun playing hockey in the hall with a dice the other day.) I just don't know.

The Educational Wargaming Cooperative have announced their finalists for EWC Challenge ’21 (https://eduwargaming.org/ewc-games).

Wherein we find...

The cabinet

Designed by mark leno, US Army War college

The Cabinet makes bureaucracy more fun (or at least interesting). Quick to play (four hours or less, one hour per turn) strategy game for 3-13+ players (recommend for 11-13) that teaches strategic planning, resource management, risk analysis, and negotiation. Players represent senior (cabinet) level agencies and must negotiate how to allocate resources between daily operations and potential foreign and domestic crises. The agency that fails the least wins. Suitable for both professional (educational and analytical) gaming and casual play by all audiences. No prior knowledge or experience with US government required, but simulates real cabinet level agencies and actual budgets using publicly available data.

How could I have missed this before. I'm not sure whether I want to download it and try to rustle up 11-13 empire builders or just have some kind of seizure.

Yeah, I tried to download it. Bad URL. Wonder if I could get Jim to run a game on Saturday Night Fights?

And the Armchair Dragoons pulled out a victory in the inaugural Sail & Shot tournament, thanks to the fine seamanship of Dr Peter Perla, the debonair leadership of our man Tolstoi, and the cannonball magnetism of McGuire!

I...hey!

In my defense, everything was going great until the first turn, when we went into a Zoom room for a brief discussion of strategy. Because modern computing is an exercise in eye-hand-coordination,  I clicked "Leave Meeting" rather than "Leave Room" and had to scramble to get back into the meeting before time ran out. In the process of that, I ordered a turn to starboard instead of port. And then, Dr. Perla, whose marksmanship is amazing, hit Britannia about three times.

Conventions! New releases! Publishers booted by distributors! This week's headlines!

https://www.armchairdragoons.com/news/we-have-no-headline-tuesdaynewsday-10-12-21/

That bit about Avalanche Press getting dumped by a distributor for releasing a game add-on about Black soldiers in WW2 because that distributer is afraid of their racist customers is just one of the most sad and effed up things I've read recently. I may have to pick up a copy of the add-on now just to support AP.

FYI, Black Panthers is now available.

Whoa, I missed that Billings is doing a re-master of his World at War.  Might have to check that out.

I saw that, too. I wrote the manual for the original and the follow-on game, and demoed it MANY times at conventions for Matrix...but I don't remember a thing about it. I'm sure it would come back quickly because it was a pretty simple, fast, light, yet fun game.

Yeah, I think I remember you mentioning having written the manual (it was one of several you wrote for them, as I recall?).  I'd forgotten you demoed it for them; I'll have to keep that in mind for if/when I get stuck.  ;) 

I played around with the original game a little bit, but (as is so often the case with me) I didn't really get into it like I'd intended to.  (No real reason, I think I just got distracted by other games soon after.)  I do vaguely remember thinking it had a nice Axis & Allies feel, and that it would probably be about the closest I could get to playing that game (or its equivalent) solo.

Turn-based fantasy 4x computer game on Kickstarter called WarKind.  Just launched today, so they’ve got, like, maybe $6 right now, but it does look like it’s got some great promise.

I'm sure you could scale them down to 12mm without too much trouble. Might have to do a little work to make sure their rifles didn't get to slender and structurally unsound.

Combat!2 - that is an odd one - requiring Combat! to play. I don't understand it considering the second game seems to come with all the kit to make it's own game.

Also - at over $100 given the first game was about $150 - I don't get it.

I love Combat! - but I was a bit disappointed to see they were including vehicles for the second one. I know others wouldn't be, but I liked it being infantry only.

Honestly, paradox website is better now than it used to be. It's much easier to find the games as sorted by the franchise you're interested in.  For 99% of the traffic to that site, that's an improvement. 

Unfortunately, I'm in that 1% that is looking for something else and that makes it hard to find for me

The Wargaming "Community"

https://www.armchairdragoons.com/news/the-wargaming-community-tuesdaynewsday-2-8-22/

I'm not sure my question belongs here. I've been thinking about this for a couple weeks and Brant's intro to the Feb. 8th Tuesday Newsday prompted me to ask you all what you think. If this should go into the Symposia section, (or somewhere else more appropriate), can one of the admin please move it?

So, here's my question: I'm curious to learn how everyone manages their wargaming community info collection/participation. Here is what I mean:

Until ACDC 2022, I didn't use Discord. I knew it was a combination of social media and a communication platform and it just didn't interest me. After ACDC, I began to understand how much more of a social media presence Discord is and I've started logging in a couple times a week to see what's posted in the text channels. One of these days I'll even participate in the ACD Happy Hour. :) At first I only joined, (or do we say follow?, do you follow Discord servers?), anyway, I joined the ACD Discord server and the International Kriegsspeil Society Discord server. I wondered how many other wargaming Discords were out there and then discovered ConsimWorld has a Discord server, joined it, and lo-and-behold, there's BayonetBrant in the #general text channel!  ;D Are there other wargaming Discords people would recommend?

I use Twitter and I don't engage much with it. It is more of an environmental scanning tool for me.

I don't use Facebook and don't have a desire to, and I know there is a large wargaming community there too.

The ACD website is my go-to place for news and a place to participate, even if I don't contribute that much. There are other places to get info, or contribute, such as Consimworld, Grognard.com and the Grognard Wargamer Thread! at Quarter to Three; however, I rarely participate in those places. I normally just scan for info. There's YouTube; however, I don't consider that a pace for me to get wargaming news or participate in wargaming discussions. It is a place to get info, which I do, so that's another item to manage.

I use RSS for some sites: Hex and Counter & Wargaming at Reddit, Tally-Ho Corner, RockMountain Navy Gamer, the usual suspects. :)

So, the wargaming community is large and it made me wonder, how do you all manage all the info generated by this community?

Let's shift this discussion over to a new thread

So, the wargaming community is large and it made me wonder, how do you all manage all the info generated by this community?

ASL is about 80 percent of my wargaming.  In some ways, the online ASL community is a bit fractured.  There are at least two ASL discord channels  One channel I like, and will make dedicated sub-channels (or whatever they're called) for special events such as ASLOK and WO.  The primary ASL forum is on GameSquad, although there have been some churn there over the last couple of years.  Both the Discord channel and GameSquad are pretty active for rules discussions, which not surprisingly is a very active topic with ASL  There are two parallel ASL groups on FB, and a SK group also (IMO it would be nice to merge all of these).  Our local club (DC Conscripts) has a page on FB and an email list.  BGG has ASL forums organized by module, which really spreads things out, and I think there is an active community on Consimworld, although I never go on that site so I don't really know.

Our local ASL club has monthly game days.  For a while, I was also organizing local SK players, and hosting small game days at my house.  When COVID hit, I expanded that a bit, but I've moved on to the full game and a few others have more or less taken over leading the SK group.

For other wargaming, we have a local club (KGB), but I've only been able to make it to one game day, and that was right before COVID.  They have an email list, but it's not super active.  They have a FB page, but my request to join was never answered and AFAIK it's not active.

I'm fortunate to have two friends who happen to play wargames, and I get together with them whenever our schedules align.

Yes, they’re the Buzzfeed of the NatSec world, but 19FortyFive are bringing up an important point with “don’t forget about Kaliningrad”...

Which article then contains,

Quote
A Russian enclave located just above Poland and just under Lithuania, the threat from Kaliningrad is more easily overlooked than Russia proper.

I refuse to allow mole people to influence my decision making, especially when I'm considering being an idiot and ordering more books from THWP. Let our own lovely Polish mole people deal with them, and if worse comes to worst, the Lithuanians can just park big trucks on their manhole covers, right?

All I can tell you is what's on the site: it's from AGEOD back in 2013, so it's going to be "good for it's time" but probably a bit dated

That Combat! Vol 1 Kickstarter is tempting....
I ended up selling my copy.

I played it A LOT but honestly, I could not get past some of the issues with the AI. It failed more than it worked imo. I can't remember the details of why it ended up beating me...but I initially took the view "Ach...people are stupid and throw in the confusion of battle and they're probably worse"...but the number of times I was using that excuse just became daft.

I'm not 100% sure, but IIRC it was particularly poor on the attack.

I received this email a few days ago.

Hello Again,

As you may have read elsewhere, Canvas Temple is ceasing publication of boxed games. Owing to the rising costs of shipping that hit us hard this year, we are now struggling to pay our tax bill. So, we are trying to clear out our remaining inventory of boxed games. To that end, here is a 20% off coupon good for anything left in stock:

CTPSUMMER

We thank you, as always, for your support of CTP.

I totally missed that Wargame Construction Set was released on Steam. Wargame Construction Set III: Age of Rifles 1846-1905 is a classic and I still have it on the PC to this day. It deserves a remake.  :bigthumb:

The Wargame Construction Sets are also available on GOG as well as SSI's Great Naval Battles series.

That is just the tip of the SSI classic iceberg. There are a number of SSI titles recently released on GOG.

They may be dated a bit but most have good gameplay and they make great laptop travel games.

it was streamed within the Discord, but Peter didn't record it that I know of

I'm happy to try to get y'all connected for an online game some time if you'd like.  He's local to me, so easier to track down :)

Oh, I appreciate that - but I'm not ready for that. I haven't even looked at the manual yet. I was just going to sit and watch them play it through. I've been looking for videos on YT and there's precious few at the moment...but that's ok...I'm balls deep in Red Strike at the moment

Thank you though - appreciate it.  :notworthy:

I'll work through these videos...just watching your Keynote...I already watched your Opening Happy Hour the other day.

Is there some place that lists war games that are currently on Kickstarter or Gamefound?
The home page on Board Game Geek lists games that are ending but misses war games sometimes. (a lot?)
I was just on Worthington games web site and there was a notice about a project that ends in 3 days, this was the first I've seen of that.
And I don't see anything about it on the Consim World news page either.

Same! Been following them since the beginning, and have always enjoyed and been inspired by their content. I will definitely miss them, but also glad they all can get a nice vacation.
