Falling Sky stays as one of my favorite COIN (Counter Insurgency) games - not only due to great design but also because unlike most titles in the series, tackles the ancient period :) Vassal implementation allows you to play async - below session report from one of our long, exciting sessions. Enjoy!

Actually started Saturday at Pax U with a quick game of Nevsky by @Volko and ended it with Québec 1759. Won as the Teutons and lost pretty badly as the French... Also tried a demo version of Molly House, which was pretty interesting, along the way.

We have a #jeer today for the morons rejecting the UN's most recent report about meat consumption leading to #climatechange. Telling the UN to "shut up" because you don't like facts is insanely juvenile. See what the scientifically based report said here: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-26/eat-less-meat-is-message-for-rich-world-in-food-s-first-net-zero-plan
Eat Less Meat Is Message for Rich World in Food’s First Net Zero Plan

The world’s most-developed nations will be told to curb their excessive appetite for meat as part of the first comprehensive plan to bring the global agrifood industry into line with the Paris climate agreement.

Much fun was had when our editorial director joining Liz & Fred to talk about the (perpetual) graying of wargaming and the many non-existent deaths it's supposedly died, going back to the 70s
