For more of a challenge I would take away RN ships when they were historically sent to the Pacific, eg Prince of Wales and Repulse on Turn 5. At any rate, it’s very playable, an easy game for beginners, and thanks to #CompassGames for reissuing it. /end #navalwargaming

The Great Hunger

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/compassgames/the-great-hunger/comments
The Great Hunger: A boardgame, currently at 10x funding on Kickstarter, which takes as its premise…er…the great Irish Famine of the 19thC! Obviously a HUGELY LOLSOME setting for a boardgame! Look, I am told by People Who Play Games that making titles based on less-than-happy bits of history is not always frowned upon, but the reaction to this has been…let’s say ‘mixed’, based on the fact that lots of Irish people, not unreasonably, feel a *bit* like this is taking a massive national tragedy and mining it for cash, while at the same time not displaying quite enough historical knowledge and sensitivity; the comments are quite the discussion! In fairness, I can see what the naysayers mean about the accent in the launch video being the very epitome of ‘an American’s idea of an Irish person’, and the whole thing does strike me as both a bit ahistorical and quite…icky, but why not make up your own minds!

Time to try the Solo campaign in Paper Wars Issue 109 for Burning Banners! It is called The Sunlit War, and it pits the Oathborn Dwarves against the Orcs! A short scenario, it's only 1 Year long, 3 Turns. It is setup to use the basic rules. #compassgames #burningbanners #paperwars #wargame #fantasy
Another session of Burning Banners. This time running the solo campaign from Paper Wars Issue 109! The photo shows the map with various Orc markers on it. The Paper Wars issue is lying on top of the map board. Player boards for Orcs and Oathborn, blessing cards, token tray full of tokens, dice, and the Rule book round out the shot.

Set up Burning Banners on Vassal. This is usually the point where I go: "Sheesh, I'll just go set it up For Real on the table!" I'm always amazed, and underprepared, for how much Real Estate modern board games take up! Wargame or otherwise, Virtual or Reality. #compassgames #burningbanners #vassal
screenshot showing a burning banners scenario in Vassal. YOu see the Map, the magic card display, and the terrain effects chart. screenshot of the second monitor, showing two player mats, one for the Army of the Night, the other for Fjordland. There is also the game pieces window, and below that the season display with is a turn/player order/income tracker.
