@Wojtowicz_N @akochowi Sorry Mondays are very bad for me. Any chance you can record it so I can watch it afterwards?

Anyone interested in the next Polimatrix online session? It is a mix of political and military actions aimed at discussing options for peace. We have 5 available spots on the 25th of November, 18:00-20:00 CET online. DM me for an invitation! @akochowi @JSBuckleyDev

@CiotogC and I spent so much time on this one - very much looking forward to seeing it on people's tables.

Just back from @SDHistCon A great event! Highlights inc seeing Purple Haze in the wild, playing Littoral Commander (awesome game!), playing giant celebrity JoCo, demoing with Florent for @Nutspublishing & most of all, making new friends with so many lovely people❤️

@arturthekingg @fortcircle @SebastianBae @SDHistCon @Nutspublishing We're also adding a solo mode 😁

@fortcircle @SebastianBae @SDHistCon @JSBuckleyDev @Nutspublishing Yes! Nuts is doing it with updated graphics and a new, shorter scenario and small tweaks to the rules, including the combat system 👍 (Our playtest today used the old board though).

I squeaked out a narrow victory in "Sword of Rome" in a four way contest for the Italian Peninsula. I can never play a game with @arturthekingg so I keep my perfect record against him. 😂 In all seriousness, @SDHistCon has been amazing and I learned so many new games. #wargaming

@gzBlitz @Siski5976 Hey! No spoilers! :)

@Siski5976 Thanks for taking this one together, David! Aside from our scout killing a missing US Huey pilot, we were awesome. ... And just a reminder that we're leaving that whole pilot detail off the mission report. ;)

@WatchItPlayed Bluesky is the way forward!

Two quick updates. Do feel free to share if you think anyone else might also want to follow along.

@simon_puxley Hi Simon, can you email james@sapperstudio.com so we can start the conversation? thanks

@JSBuckleyDev Keen!

Battlegroup Clash: Baltics. Red has the key hill, eliminating Blue's only Javelin team in the process. Blue's MBT Troop & an Armd Infantry Pl pull back. Red though has lost its Fire Support Team to a drone attack, and the Blue Recce is in a great position to call in Fires. 1/3

@simon_puxley It is taken from the parent game. That uses the British Army's Staff Officers Handbook and Field Army Threat Handbook. However, I would be looking for someone to provide a kind of How to Play as Blue, How to Play as Red Play Guide. Feel free to put yourself forward for said role!

@JSBuckleyDev Looks great. Who’s taking care of your adversary tactics, TTPs and so on? E

Plus some other innovations and tweaks to make it accessible to hobby gamers. It is intended as a hybrid hobby-professional game, like @SebastianBae Littoral Commander. If you want to know more or getting involved in playtesting please email james@sapperstudio.com 3/3

BC:B is the first Sapper Studio game I'm planning to publish. It is based on the British Army's forthcoming Battlegroup Wargame System, created by Vedette Consulting, for which I am the Developer. It will be more streamlined, with a greater focus on execution over planning 2/3

@JimDaws93102644 Is this your game? Seems similar to RCAT?

Prototype Battleboard, with a mix of game guide and the logistics management. This also has Bde Taskorgs, Atts and Dets. A WIP but starting to get there...

Some playtesting for the "Divisional Commander" game today. Simplified on-table counters and more detail in the (off table) logistics...

Diluvium was my surprising discovery of Essen Spiel. Beautiful, fast & exciting, quickly landed in my fairs haul. After playing it more then several times already, let me share my impressions on this small, neat title! theboardgameschronicle.com/2024/10/22/fir… @Nutspublishing

@PastorJoelT So is it a bit like Mr President?

My country is fighting a war abroad. At the same time, we are facing threat of terror attacks at home. This game places me in the role of my government. I must use my country’s resources to meet challenge and maintain stability and cohesion.

@zweigefuhle @djackthompson I'll have a chat with Florent at Nuts about this - I think it will be perfect for the Combat Rations series

@fredserval Game?

Vimeiro, Day of Battle. 10am: french approaching Wellesley's defensive position 12am: Junot pushes on the east ridge leading to Vimeiro 1pm: British center is collapses, reorganisation needed 3pm: Junot's attack against Wellesley on the Mill farm fails, the french have to retreat

@akochowi Easier said then done but why not try to develop your own system, perhaps taking some inspiration from both of them? I feel the world can survive without another COIN game. But if I had to choose, I would say Pax; it's less rigid.

Game design folks. If you could see a subject either fitting with the COIN or Pax system, which way would you go and why? I’m working on something and am rather at a crossroads so would like some help in making a decision.

@newcoldwar89 @playersaidblog @VUCASimulations @consimworld Ive just sent you a PM.

@JSBuckleyDev @playersaidblog @VUCASimulations @consimworld Ok James, we are pretty close to finish the game and send files to the printer, so I think we can't start now a work as this. But I keep your contact for future projects.

In a continuing series of Event Card Spoilers covering the upcoming New Cold War, 1989-2019 from @VUCASimulations in the 2nd entry we take a look at Card #105: 3rd Decade Deck – Annexation of Crimea. @consimworld theplayersaid.com/2024/10/03/new…

@newcoldwar89 @playersaidblog @VUCASimulations @consimworld Hi there - I am interested in the game and I would love to help. But I'm a professional freelance game developer and charge for such services as, well, that's how I earn money :) My contact details and background here if you want to involve me - sapperstudio.com

@JSBuckleyDev @playersaidblog @VUCASimulations @consimworld Hi James, if you are interested in the game and in geopolitical issues, I can send you the card list in order to find some improvements in the historical events. Let me know

@Clint_Davey1 Game of Thrones.

Is there a game like Twilight Imperium, but with a fantasy theme?
