@poilu.bsky.socialReposted by @fgradaille.bsky.socialTrying a learning game of #CuiusRegio from @fgradaille.bsky.social and @gmtgames.bsky.social. Bucquoy's forces appear to have gotten ahead of themselves. Am liking the design so far, but there's a lot still to learn.
@fgradaille.bsky.socialThank you very much for this content! Extremely valuable!

@armchairdragoons.bsky.socialReposted by @fgradaille.bsky.socialA Look at Cuius Regio: The Thirty Years War
So, with all the new Thirty Years War games hitting the shelves, is this one worth your attention? I will tell you that after playing a couple of the smaller scenarios, I really, really want to play the full game.
@colewehrle.bsky.socialReposted by @fgradaille.bsky.socialIn today's diary, I get into one of my favorite subjects: agency in historical games. Did the Opium Wars have to happen? Were the player's historical counterparts in a position to prevent them?
It's a big subject, and a place where the 2e differs sharply from 1e.
@jasondcmatthews.bsky.socialReposted by @fgradaille.bsky.social1/2 Geoff has an interesting observation concerning how humanity may have to adapt to maintain its mental acuity in a world of AI. It echoes James Dunnigan, founder of SPI, who called wargaming the hobby of the overeducated.

@colewehrle.bsky.socialReposted by @fgradaille.bsky.socialA rainy evening made for the perfect excuse to finally learn @gmtgames.bsky.social 's Cuius Regio which I'm pairing with C.V. Wedgewood's book on the 30 Years War. I've wanted to read this book for so long, and it does not disappoint. I can't believe she was so young when she wrote it (late 20s!).
@fgradaille.bsky.socialI hope you like it. It makes me extremely happy to give back some enjoyment to the designers that have given me such good times with their games.
@fgradaille.bsky.socialI'm now in the middle of exam corrections, so I'm not sure I'm so cool! By the way, I love Ted's philosophy of life and I try to do something similar with my classes. It works so well with teenagers!
