Good one Brant.
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.

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....
-
:vomit:
-
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.

Need some terrain for a fantasy game? Antenocitis Workshop has this cool 28mm stuff called an “Office Set” from a long, long-ago time when people actually congregated into close-quarters workplaces for their daily tasks and shared refreshment from upright, cooled communal watering holes.

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?

Yeah, I've had some family issues these last few weeks. It's held up Solosaurus recording and production unfortunately.
I have one episode in the can that needs editing that I'm working on this week, and then Martin is going to move forward with a guest host this weekend to record with him. I've allowed myself too many distractions on top of the issues too - need to get back on top of this. :(
-
I mean, that gag was 4 weeks ago :D
-
^ Exactly. And of course, we now know that yes, you've been just a tad occupied dealing with some family stuff.
More than any other reason, though, I'd posted it (along with Brant's other comment) because I'm a connoisseur of snark, and at the time I felt compelled to share. :P I guarantee I wasn't trying to give you a hard time about it. :)
-
LOL, it's okay. I didn't even pay attention to the time stamp.
I need to stop spending time moping and do some stuff. Lord knows I am, but I might be spending too much time on just one or two projects. I'm just waiting for the hammer to drop is all.

Guy on airplane: So what do you do?
Me, looking up from the O'Reilly book I'm trying to read: I'm a computer programmer.
Guy: Cool. I could have been a programmer, except for all the science.
True story.

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.
-
;D

Jolly Good Show Tolstoi and McGuire! :applause: That's putting your balls to good use....cannon balls to good use I mean. :doh: Seems Dragoons are equally lethal at sea or on land.

Thank you! I hope to get the AAR up soon. Capt. McGuire and Capt. Perla were key in getting us the final victory. I just seemed to get in the way a lot. ;D

I almost did the very same thing. Zoom's UX team should change that set up to prevent anything like that from happening.
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.
Yes, Capt. Perla was on fire during that game. He scored 16 hits in total, of which I think 6 or 8 of those hits were on us! :biggrin:

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.

^It inspired me to pick up a copy.

Great- that now makes two of us. :bigthumb:

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.

The Troops of the Napoleonic Wars – Grand Duchy of Warsaw Kickstarter campaign. Yes, these are .stl files, and yes that’s a pain in the ass. But you know what? They are 28mm figs, which are not – repeat, not – those awkward off-putting 12mm ones.
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.

Man, I wish I'd know that trolling Cyrano was going to be this week's theme. I'd have bought more tickets & popcorn for resell.

Sigh. I miss BattleTech.

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.
-
I wouldn't mind the vehicles so much...I think back to my old games of Ambush! and had a great time when a Pz IV or German halftrack would pop in for tea. ;D

Look, we could say that the Munchkin craze is getting out of hand with the release of the new Munchkin Petting Zoo but really, didn’t that ship sail long, long ago?
Yes. Yes, it did. ::)
Although I'm not sure who's more to blame -- Jackson, or the fans/customers...
Paradox has rebuilt their website, and the sales are no longer collected onto a single page. Ugh.
Wow, you weren't kidding. That is...not the worst store layout I've ever seen, I suppose, but it's a definite step back compared to what it was before. Uff-da.
-
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
https://www.armchairdragoons.com/forum/index.php?topic=4053
it's a good idea to chat about and worth it's own place to do it
-
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,
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?

As wargamers, there’s always going to be a certain detached curiosity we bring to the table when exploring conflict topics like this.
Nope. Not at all. Wild over-generalization.

Speaking of the war we're not supposed to speak of, Combat Mission: Black Sea is 30% off at Steam. :-X

Surely that's a coincidence.

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

From Matrix: "Upgraded Birth of America and American Civil War engine with improved Military AI and national personalities"
So it looks like a stand alone game. Surprisingly, I don't have it in my collection!

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.

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:

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:
-
That good, huh?
-
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.

https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3242007/war-games-kickstarter-and-gamefound
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.
