On the last day of 2022 I planned another material about Pacific War - what will be better & more suitable summary of passing year than by AAR from one of my favorite titles? Enjoy 🇺🇸 and 🇯🇵 clashing near Guadalcanal!

A couple of months ago I told myself that I'd buy @markherman54 's Pacific War only when I'm done writing my PhD dissertation. I submitted my (pre)final draft two days ago and got this yesterday. After a night of reading the rules, I'm putting it on the table for the 1st scenario: Pearl Harbor. Pretty excited to take a little break while exploring these new seas. Also, I'm gonna need a bigger table. #HexesForever #gmt

Happy New Year everybody! It is time for a small retrospective - look back at 2022 and most often played titles by The Boardgames Chronicle group.

Found in NYC today. Not sure if Mastodon cuts off the image top or not - about to find out…)

A great game of Sekigahara this afternoon versus @markherman54

As Tokugawa I took an early resource and castle lead, but nearly lost Tokugawa himself in battle. I retained my edge, winning a huge action on the central highway, but Mark edged me 14-13 with a successful last-turn siege.

Terrific fun - I'm still a little lost strategy-wise but the mists are receding.

I finally managed to get #PacificWar off the shelf. Hadn't touched it in months. Will have to play a few engagement scenarios to refresh the rules. This is the #PearlHarbor scenario.

Map of the wargame Pacific War by Mark Herman, published by GMT Games. It's showing the region around Hawaii. Various cardboard counters represent Japanese and US forces at the beginning of the Pearl Harbor battle.

@Wargameguy did t realize there had been that much inflation. Still could only take my girlfriend, now wife, to cheap restaurants.

The fierce battle for Guadalcanal between 🇯🇵 and 🇺🇸 forces continues. This time they face each other near Santa Cruz Island for a decisive Carrier clash. Enjoy!

Using this reply to thank everyone who followed me on this site. Is there an app for it? Not sure, Twitter was more intuitive to navigate. I guess that is why it was so successful before the current meltdown.

In reply to this post, thanks again for all your support. It is much appreciated and hopefully I will get to Warsaw someday.
