Combat Commander Pacific – After Action Report – Scenario F – Stalemate
Sometimes when you're playing one of the most fun games on the planet (a slight exaggeration, but not much!), things just happen in a way that doesn't benefit you. It's not exactly random chance, because often the luck evens out during the course of a game. But maybe just one thing breaks against you, and things steamroll from there. Sometimes that's me, and sometimes it's not.

Happy #StarTrekDay to those who celebrate and even to those who don’t. A substantial portion of my “nerd DNA” is made up of Star Trek and I am who I am because of it.
A dude who has existed for 83.3% of the time Star Trek has been around. He is wearing a Star Trek tie and is making the Vulcan 🖖 hand gesture. Behind him are three Star Trek posters.
