Battlegroup Clash: Baltics. Red has the key hill, eliminating Blue's only Javelin team in the process. Blue's MBT Troop & an Armd Infantry Pl pull back. Red though has lost its Fire Support Team to a drone attack, and the Blue Recce is in a great position to call in Fires. 1/3

BC:B is the first Sapper Studio game I'm planning to publish. It is based on the British Army's forthcoming Battlegroup Wargame System, created by Vedette Consulting, for which I am the Developer. It will be more streamlined, with a greater focus on execution over planning 2/3

Plus some other innovations and tweaks to make it accessible to hobby gamers. It is intended as a hybrid hobby-professional game, like @SebastianBae Littoral Commander. If you want to know more or getting involved in playtesting please email james@sapperstudio.com 3/3

Diluvium was my surprising discovery of Essen Spiel. Beautiful, fast & exciting, quickly landed in my fairs haul. After playing it more then several times already, let me share my impressions on this small, neat title!

I have just published a blog about this sapperstudio.com/post/are-profe…
Thanks Quinns for taking the time to cover the topic so thoroughly (even if I don't agree with everything you say)

Really impressed by the comments on today's wargaming video. I'm not sure I've *ever* seen a comment section so full of different points of view.
It's a relief, honestly. I could never cover everything, so it's nice you can scroll down and get further nuance/complexity

Where do wargamers learn about games? Who do they watch, read and listen to? The answers are here sapperstudio.com/post/wargaming… (and more about Sapper Studio in the coming days)

One of the professional wargaming products I'm developing. Still at prototype stage, but taking shape. A key focus & challenge is to bring in what the 'hobby' side of gaming does well: user experience & playablility, without losing credible outcomes and thus military-user buy in.
"Wargame in a Box" playtest today... Platoon to Battlegroup level...

I recently surveyed the wargaming community's media habits. Had a good response rate (408). Full results with analysis in the not too distant future, but here is a teaser... (note "regularly" here)
