What a nice surprise to find last week's Book Club newsletter review of Votes for Women made the jump to the Washington Post Sunday edition!

A review of the board game Votes for Women appears in the Sunday print edition of the Washington Post under the title "It's your turn to defend the 19th Amendment."

A truly epic game! highs and lows, crazy shifts in momentum and strategy! I'll never forget this one. Kaiser deposed in humiliating fashion but it was a hell of a journey.

Won the war without a single eliminated French unit. No idea how that's happened.

Broke out my copy of A Bridge Too Far from @phalanxgames.bsky.social absolutely phenomenal job. Scott Moore did a great translation and the game is intense, and difficult, well worth the experience. I lot of replay value as well. So many branches upon branches.

@tdraicer.bsky.social a few PoG questions: the punishing supply rules- do they lean so punishing as a mechanic to get players to employ more cautious/ordered advances that feel more WWI, or is that level of annihilation something that’s historically realistic? (Or a mix of both).

Kaiser's worst nightmare as his forces collapse before a single calendar year is up. This is a lesson in supply and retreat. You always give ground rather than getting surrounded.

Home by Christmas, unfortunately, not a merry one for the Entente, who will have to acknowledge Germany as the dominant continental power for decades to come (this is the perfectly executed Schliefen plan at the end of fall 1914). Poor Entente player had zero timely French reinforcement cards.

This is kinda random, but people ask all the time what I use for paper maps in wargames. If it’s a one mapper I love to use this. It’s almost never in stock, and saw it was this am so wanted to share! a.co/d/heTvVY5

Solitaire game of No Question of Surrender (NQoS) from @multimanpublishing.bsky.social to be played on lunch breaks for the next.. ad infinitum. My first actual GTS, although there’s a lot of familiarity with the CSS we’ve loved.

Bravery In The Sand (BITS) from @multimanpublishing.bsky.social set up and ready to go. 8 pages of simple rules, bucket o dice, chit pull game. I think they were giving this out free with a purchase order at WBC a while back, at least that’s how I got it.
