Getting introduced to Cataphract today. Much simpler than SPQR, perfect game to learn the basics of the GBOH system @gmtgames.bsky.social

For players of the GBOH series @gmtgames.bsky.social I’m using these lesser intrusive pieces to replace the cohesion counters included in the games. Dirty cheap, can be ordered at Amazon, other similar plataforms or bought at your local crafts shop

I'm always ambivalent about simple gboh. On one side, is true that you save some time, and having all the systems under one rulebook is great... But I play mostly gboh in solitarie and the strenght and hoy of gboh Lies mostly in the Detail.

I'm currently on holiday, but before I left I jotted down some thoughts on Hoplite, by Richard Berg (and series design with Mark Herman) from @gmtgames.bsky.social. I enjoyed my second foray into GBoH more than my first, but I'm still not entirely sold. www.stuartellisgorman.com/blog/hoplite...

This review is of the original rules, but I am planning to try Simple GBoH, and I may well write a second review of Hoplite using that system instead.

Finally got ahold of one of my grail #boardwargames - "Chandragupta" by @gmtgames.bsky.social , covering the chief battles of the Mauryan Empire in Alexandrine-era* India - to complete my set of GMT's #GBoH (Great Battles of History) series, via an eBay auction at a rational price point.

This review points up what I consider to be a key weakness of the GBoH system (and other #boardwargaming systems which rely extensively on markers to denote current unit status); the sheer amount of time & concomitant tedium needed to update markers in large-scale battles.

Basically anything Chain of Command related for minis, and for board games to continue learning GCACW and hopefully to start Great Battles of Julius Caesar (GBOH series)

Finally dipping my toe into @gmtgames.bsky.social’s GBoH waters, and already impressed by the rules. Orderly Withdrawal and Feigned Retreat play so loose with hex movement, but in reading Designer Notes represent what they model so well. Unsurprisingly great stuff from Richard Berg and Mark Herman.

I got this one last year (making 14/15 of GBOH in my collection, the last one outstanding is Chandragupta). I don't remember which printing I have but it's unpunched.
