Had a game of Saga: Age of Chivalry, using some siege rules so that we could play a castle assault. They worked reasonably well, though we had difficulties with treating walls as simple linear obstacles.

My castle model has thick walls, with room for models to fit on the battlements. I think treating the walls as a building rather than a simple line might work better.

If I wanted to be playing something akin to #StarFleetCommand on PC (well, Mac/Linux/Steamdeck) - tactical, turn based, bit of complexity, and giant-ass ships that don't move like fighters, is there anything I should look at?

Honestly, age of sail would do just as nicely.

Russia urges Poland to reopen its Belarus border.

Russia on Thursday urged Poland to reopen its border with Belarus, Moscow's close ally, calling the closure "destructive" and warning of consequences.

On Tuesday Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced the closure of the border with Belarus from 12 September, in response to the upcoming joint Russian-Belarusian war games.

»The … #ICO … has issued a warning about what it calls the "worrying trend" of students hacking their own school and college IT systems … .
It has told teachers that they are failing to understand and recognise what it calls the "insider threat" pupils pose.«

Aparently the people of the UK‘s Information Commissioner's Office haven‘t watched the 1983 movie „ #WarGames “. Maybe today’s students did. Or they aren’t dumber than those in the 1980s.

Models 905-910. Never really been a fan of Centaurs but these models have made me re-evaluate that. The giant boar is a lot of fun, too.
