I've had this same handle on twitter since 2009. Here for wargames, history, and friendly chats with nice people. Same as it ever was.
I named my fists E and mc² because they convert mass to energy (and vice versa) at the speed of light. 🥴🥊

Same! And in the colder months, I wear my beard almost exactly as the good reverend does. (I like the emphasis on the goatee. I need to try that!) 😊

I love RTT! Hope to see it mature with paid digital-only versions of games, with par (or better) returns for designers, artists, publishers, and the platform itself. Remove cogs, inventory, and shipping costs of cardboard. Bespoke apps have a place, but I’d rather have this model at scale. 🙏

Congratulations, Peter! I’ve only recently discovered your work via social platforms, but it’s clear even in that short time the recognition is very well deserved. Beautifully written citation, btw. 🙌😀

If it doesn’t say Nils on the tin, I think twice about buying it. 👊😇

Must admit, I miss A0’s original art design from the prototype.

It would be an injustice not to point out that you have not only designed games that are Top 10 favorites for many of us, Volko, but that you have conceived of and brought to bear multiple *series* of games that have brought other designers into the fold to continue and extend the intent. Bravo! 🎖️

Between you and @sebastianbae.bsky.social posting about this today, it is suddenly dead center on my radar. TY! Off to watch the vid. Next step after that is the buy button. 😃

There was a little treaty about that, say around 1920. 😁🇫🇷

This really looks beautiful on the table. I like the way the counters pop against the more muted (but very detailed) map. It supports the POV that you’re in the map room of an army HQ, as VUCA says in their product blurb. (Arguably many wargames fit that, but this nails the vibe, imho.)

Very nice! Any special plans for the anniversary of the Battle of Brooklyn, perhaps game or club related?

Thank you, kind sir! It’s a good excuse for him to get his 1777 game back in print, too. 😉

They have some very sophisticated systems for separating logical adults from their money. 😁

When you see “the boss,” please put in a good word for SDHC in New York in 1777 ➡️ 2027. Late summer would be perfect.🙏😎

Slightly unrelated, but I hope SDHC does something in the region in the next year or two. Saratoga in 1777 seems like an obvious choice. 😉

Man, these Tenmile guys are going all in on the 250th. Newsletter today mentions *57* planned expressions for 2026 and beyond. Someone there must be a major AmRev buff. Very cool! 🙌😃

Have you ever calculated your average velocity? Total miles travelled over the number of hours in a year (~8766) might be a good estimate. 😁
