My first cross-platform wargame app is now available on iOS. It has been available for some time on Android (Play and Amazon). Early versions are available in Firefox store and Chrome store.
Search for Poland 1939 in whatever app store your device likes best.
I am a total hobbyist, so this game is completely free. No ads. No in-app purchases. Just wargaming fun!
I have other apps for Android. Not all are free, as I need to justify this waste of…

After four plays, I think Leuthen from Victory Point Games is a great little gem. With little space, very few units and few and easy rules you get everything you need from a wargame: fog of war, different units with different strenghts/weaknesses against other units and terrain, morale and cohesion, very clever tactical cards system, hard decisions to take, manoeuvring and good historical flavour. It has a very good replayability. In my four plays I have faced very different situations, with…

Played DBMM for the first time last night with Graham, Gregg and Mike at the H&SL Wargame Society. Seems like a really good system, and the guys really helped to explain it as we played it, which is probably the best way. I have had an interest in this system ever since I got interested in miniatures, so it is great I am getting the chance to play it.

The unofficial BorgFest is on for Labor Day Weekend at Pacificon. If you're looking for a game of GMT's C&C:A or C&C:N, I'll be running an ancients game on Friday from 4-8 pm and a napoleonics game from 8-12 on Sunday morning. It'll be in the miniatures area of the hall as I'm using 15mm miniatures and Kalistra's 4" hex terrain for the boards.
If you're at the convention, drop by to say "hi".

Good news, everyone. Issue 73 of Line of Departure is almost ready to go out to the subscribers. I'm doing the proofreading now, but the features are in there, and the lay out is done. The magazine leads off with reviews of Saipan 1944 (Avalanche Press) and Defeat Into Victory (Against the Odds). Then there are analyses of Double Star (GDW) and Trireme (Avalon Hill).
I'll update the web sites and make the Bully Pulpit…

The below chart tracks national material capabilities (CINC as discussed in previous post) for the two Cold War superpowers:
Interesting how the US value takes a hit round 1970. In those years, the US decreased its military personnel from 3.5 million to about 2 million - with also certain reductions in military expenditure.
Here a military…

I've always had the urge to define national power in quantitative terms. Many histories strike me as overly wishy-washy due to an insufficient grounding in numbers. Not only does this hamper understanding, but it also presents a considerable challenge in terms of wargame design.
One scholarly effort to that effect is the "Correlates of War" project. It defines "power" as "the ability of a nation to exercise and resist influence - [...] a function of many factors, among them…

An interesting piece by Lisa Lynch (Concordia University) on using a conflict simulation to train journalism students. (In this case, the simulation is a class roleplay exercise, not a published board game):…
