Valiant Defense by @djackthompson is definitely one of my favorite solitaire wargames series. Not so long ago I made an article which compares all four installments. Hope you will enjoy it!

In May 1941, the Battle of Crete began and destiny tossed a coin. "This game is about those 12 hours the coin was spinning." 12 Hours at Maleme from Ivan Prat, @zweigefuhle and the Snafu design team is available today! Can't wait to get my hands on this 👉 snafustore.com/en/second-world #SnafuSmallBattles #wargames #boardgames

This is one of my favorite games this year: Measure of the Earth from @MarcFigueras @zweigefuhle and SNAFU. Love the history. Simple mechanics but challenging choices and resource management. Artwork absolutely spot on. About 50/50 on expedition successes so far. #boardgames

A photo of the goodies given at Bellota Con. A solitaire game designed by Daniel Hernández and with art from @zweigefuhle called "El camino español" (The spanish way), the Con shirt also with art form Nils (Is this Con transforming into JohannssonCon?) and a grey d6 with the Con name (hard to see it on the photo).
#BellotaCon2023

On the left side we can see a shirt diagonally laid, the printing on its front shows some soldiers (spanish tercios) in combat with their pole arms towards the enemy. Between the hafts of the pole arms there is a big 6 in the middle. On top of the drawing to the left there is an inscription saying Bellota Con and on the right 3 stars. Laid to the right of the shirt there is a map from the game "El Camino Español" (The Spanish way) beautifully depicting the roads and fortresses that Spanish troops used to travel from Lombardy to Flanders. On top of it lays a small six sided dice with the Bellota Con logo.

Just for fun, the first six Levy & Campaign game maps, oriented on that of Empires of the Middle Ages, designed in 1980 by the great James Dunnigan.

@Poilu The designer, Andreas Pscheidl, is normally planning demo sessions on Discord to introduce the system and present the core mechanics. Possibly a play-through will be recorded and/or documented. But nothing before mid-February.
Thanks for the feedback 🙌

#BellotaCon2023

I brought to Badajoz a prototype of 'Abyss of Lament' (Legion Wargames) with the latest iteration of the maps. Demo sessions are available over the course of the convention for two battles (out of the 6 in the game): Leuthen and Lobositz.

@Volko Thank you Volko!

@DrCrossbows It's only in Spanish for the moment. As soon as the English translation is ready I'll send you a message. 👍🏼

#BellotaCon2023

A free mini-game prepared for all attendees to the gaming convention in Spain: "El Camino Español"

The game lets you pick one of 3 Spanish leaders during the Thirty Years War (each with different capabilities) to try to bring your armies safely from Lombardy to Flanders. Units face revolts, small battles, sieges, hunger and desertion along the route.

Size A3 folded into 3 as a booklet.
