Here's the first peek at the board for The Pure Land: Onin War in Muromachi Japan, 1465-1477 from @gmtgames.bsky.social. This looks absolutely terrific, and just like that - there's suddenly a new COIN game for my consideration. Thanks a lot, @zweigefuhle.bsky.social. 😉

The Christmas gift from my daughter. One of wonderful aspects of loving in France is the unmitigated love you feel here for old books and vintage prints. There are second-hand/specialty booksellers almost everywhere. The typefaces alone in this volume are absolutely gorgeous.

Outstanding support and encouragement from @playersaidblog.bsky.social for the the Old Northwest series by High Flying Dice Games. If anyone has pushed me to continue the series, it's really Grant and Alexander. Special mention to @wetlir.bsky.social for all the help and additional research. 🎯

There's a special quality to Stuart's insightful reviews that shines through, most likely the very enjoyable and personal musings as he comes to grips with Solitaire designs. A joy to read.

A precise and very clear overview of the gameplay for Operation Bøllebank. Note that the ease with which @esparver73.bsky.social handles those tweezers denotes 'grognard' status. 🎖️

Bogged down, for the past few days, in the minutiae of rules editing. Always an ambivalent moment, no?You don't advance on *anything* else as your thoughts are constantly wrapped around modifications and cross-referencing rules sections. But somehow, I sleep better than on most days. 🤪

It's always been a dream to work with Japanese publisher. When living in Asia, 'Six angles' or 'Game Journal' magazines for example were always at the forefront of wargaming graphics. This make-over of "Bulge20" is an homage to Robert M. Chapin Jr., the Time Magazine cartographer during WW2.
