As part of a effort to help new wargamers and educators, @GUWargaming has created an "living" database of #wargames for educational use. The goal is to help people find the right game for their learning objectives.

Stuff in the works but yeah…things are nuts everywhere. Stay safe everyone

My interview with @playersaidblog on my Littoral Commander:

"At its core, Littoral Commander is an educational #wargame designed to serve as an intellectual sandbox – to enable players to explore what future challenges the modern battlefield poses."

My Littoral Commander #wargame has fully been funded!!!

Thank you all for supporting this project -- from sharing the news to donating copies to military units. I promise to keep you all updated as the commercial version progresses! #wargaming

[Sebastian Bae @SebastianBae]

Over 85% funded!!! So close!!!!!

My Littoral Commander #wargame still needs pre-order backers for commercial publication. It's a grand tactical educational wargame exploring future multi-domain tactical warfare in 2030 and beyond. RT and share. #wargaming https://t.co/pgGzXysI1S

I wrote a review of the new DLC for Valor & Victory: Stalingrad. Unfortunately, it didn't address some of the major issues I had with the game. https://t.co/KGOSqRsumd

[Joe Fonseca @JoeFonsecaHist]

@jack_trumbull Those were some fun matches. Enlisted is the perfect popcorn shooter for a Friday night with friends.

[Joe Fonseca @JoeFonsecaHist]

@OberstWKlink I was very happy to see that they had adequate coverage beyond the American experience

[Joe Fonseca @JoeFonsecaHist]

Here's my review of Campaign Series: Vietnam. I think it's very good, and quite comprehensive, even getting into the rough side you don't often see in wargames. https://t.co/e8QhyTxoWK

I just raised $424.00 USD for my local children’s hospital through #EXTRALIFE. Donate today and help me reach my goal: https://t.co/Q5SZQKlygN

Sink your teeth into history and check out @JoeFonsecaHist's review of Vampire The Masquerade: Heritage (from @nicegamepub), a fascinating interesting legacy tableau builder with RPG elements.

@Grand_Tactician @jack_trumbull Grand Tactician quickly became a Let's Talk About Wargames favourite! It's a strong contender for our Game of the Year...but that is a discussion for a later episode of the podcast :D

[Joe Fonseca @JoeFonsecaHist]

Jack's review of Grand Tactician us up, and gets a Dev Seal of Approval I think :D

[Grand Tactician @Grand_Tactician]

Let's talk about wargames? Grand Tactician, particularly:

@PastorJoelT @gmtgames Thank you! 😄

[Joe Fonseca @JoeFonsecaHist]

@riversidewings It's a great game, and there is A LOT to talk about regarding how it presents the history. I wrote a little surface level thread on it when I first played it, but there is so much more to touch on. Looking forward to your thoughts! https://t.co/2ZZK11Zeoe

[Joe Fonseca @JoeFonsecaHist]

I’ve been playing #ghostoftsushima from @suckerpunchprod and want to talk about how I feel it tackles visuals, 13th century Japanese warfare, Samurai, women, and the Mongol invasions. No real spoilers, just bits of the intro cutscene and vague quest stuff! 1/15 #twitterstorians

[Joe Fonseca @JoeFonsecaHist]

Thank you to everyone who donated during our #EXTRALIFE Stream! E-mails for those who won the game raffle, donated by @SlitherineGames have been sent out! BUT, Twitch donors, some of you were tagged Anonymous, and so I can't reach out! Write to me/us and we'll get it sorted!

[Frédéric Serval @fredserval]

I'm trying something different for this week's livestream: inviting a panel of designers to discuss ethics. Tomorrow at 8pm GMT, we will talk about the depiction of civilian victimization with Brian Train, Javier Romero, John Poniske & Tomislav Čipčić
