I thought it had a perfect mild spice, but I have a high spice tolerance. Description does say spicy twice, so maybe not ideal for you. But there were a lot of good not-spicy ones!

I pregamed for the Grey Cup in the perfect way today: Po-boy Fest. Some highlights: duck po-boy, Cajun surf and turf (rabbit and shrimp), Thanksgiving, Cajun Parm (boudin balls, sauce and Parm), Pho-strami.

A New Orleans thing I very much enjoy: the local high school marching band practicing on my street.

"At all events, had I had the power to command both armies, I would not have changed the orders under which he seemed to be acting" is such an amazing burn of Hood's invasion of Tennessee.

And closed out today with Littoral Commander and one of my favourites, A Few Acres of Snow. Awesome convention. Thanks to everyone who took the time to play, talk, or just say hi!

Thanks to everyone for a wonderful @sdhistcon.bsky.social! Always a highlight of my year. So great to see amazing people and teach and play games. A few further highlights: Team Undaunted, 1846, Waterways, and Chalice of Poison.

Another great @sdhistcon.bsky.social thing: delicious lunches at Point Loma Seafood, with waterfront views. Scallop sandwich yesterday, fish one today, both excellent.

Had an amazing time demoing Cross-Bronx Expressway for two tables at @sdhistcon.bsky.social this morning. Thanks to @alexknight.bsky.social, @yoyoni.bsky.social, and Justin DeVries (and, not pictured, @mirikuski.bsky.social, Damani Pant, and Nathaniel James) for playing!

And Grant would not approve of games that give Confederate troops better ratings.

Another interesting part of this, Grant's comments on Lew Wallace delaying Jubal Early at Monocacy Junction and how Early might have taken Washington without that. Adds to the case for the importance of that battle. (Marc Leepson's "Desperate Engagement" is a good read on that.)

And Grant is very right on the merits of Johnston's delaying tactics for strategic will, especially around the 1864 election. Going to John "Leeroy Jenkins" Bell Hood and his all-out attacks proved disastrous.

Got up to the part on Sherman's Atlanta campaign, which reminds me of one of my favourite quotes. May we all outflank the devil. www.americanheritage.com/1864-one-hun...

Reading U.S. Grant's memoirs, which are excellent. This shot at Braxton Bragg made me cackle.

Had a blast last night at the first Quaalords show I've been able to make in a while. They remain terrific.
