Designer - Levy & Campaign, COIN Series, and such.
Also, vegan and atheist because of science.
Falling Sky stays as one of my favorite COIN (Counter Insurgency) games - not only due to great design but also because unlike most titles in the series, tackles the ancient period :) Vassal implementation allows you to play async - below session report from one of our long, exciting sessions. Enjoy!

One wargamer's reflections on this design -- https://theboardgameschronicle.com/2023/12/05/the-other-side-of-the-hill-thoughts-from-volko-ruhnke/
Actually started Saturday at Pax U with a quick game of Nevsky by @Volko and ended it with Québec 1759. Won as the Teutons and lost pretty badly as the French... Also tried a demo version of Molly House, which was pretty interesting, along the way.
@Volko @theboardgameschronicle 👀
Scrolled down to check out shipping which seems pretty reasonable. Thanks for posting this.

My pleasure!
We have a #jeer today for the morons rejecting the UN's most recent report about meat consumption leading to #climatechange. Telling the UN to "shut up" because you don't like facts is insanely juvenile. See what the scientifically based report said here: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-26/eat-less-meat-is-message-for-rich-world-in-food-s-first-net-zero-plan
Much fun was had when our editorial director joining Liz & Fred to talk about the (perpetual) graying of wargaming and the many non-existent deaths it's supposedly died, going back to the 70s
Situation doesn't look great for ARVN anymore! Mid-1962 and love the expansion so far!

A review of The British Way by Stephen Rangazas and
@gmtgames focusing how it will can be useful for wargaming classes. And some words on why the whole COIN series from @Volko is very education-friendly too. Link: pijus.substack.com/p/a-thousand...
In continued series of Teach & Play materials for The British Way, first COIN multipack, we take a look today at Cyprus, explaining it rules, specifics and actually playing the game. Enjoy!

Oops! The NVA is getting close to winning!
See how that came about in my playthrough.

Made it to the first coup!
So far I think it's a great addition to Fire in the Lake!

@theboardgameschronicle @Volko @markherman54 nice review ! It is one of my favourite games and since I have recently reviewed the Fall of Saigon expansion I can say it is totally worth getting it too.
A long overdue REVIEW for the hallmark of COunter INsurgency (COIN) series arrives. Let me share my thoughts about Fire in the Lake - enjoy!

Let me invite you to a third, final part of Plantagenet campaign. Who in the end will become the king of England? Let us check in below article! https://theboardgameschronicle.com/2023/09/17/plantagenet-war-of-the-roses-replay-by-christophe-correia-part-3/
I think ICS discussion and collaboration happens on the COIN Series server.
Good luck!
