#consim
In your own words (and preferably without being vague), what’s the difference between a wargame and a conflict simulation?
Bonus question: What’s your favorite consim?
The presentation of the 2022 Historical Board Game Awards will be Friday, April 7th, at 8:20 PM (CDT): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu9h-fzIj5k

This has been sitting on my table set up for weeks but finally had a minute to make the first couple of moves. “Constantinople” from Strategy & Tactics issue 318

@petrmojzis I was tempted by s&s. But I didn’t enjoy Grunwald Swords much, so tried something new. #wargames #consim
An activity that sometimes blurs the line into work is teaching folks how to play board #wargames at the #TheWargameBootcamp. We regularly attend such California cons as #PacificonGameExpo & #SDHist.
The goal is to teach folks how to play #boardgames with a historical flavour aka #consim, #hexandcounter, and various types of board #wargames. Our audience could be newbies, #Grognard, or returnees to the #boardgame hobby. We aim to teach games in an entertaining & an informative manner.
My first cardboard crush were #wargames by such #boardgame publishers as SPI, AH, and GDW. I have dabbled with miniature & computer #wargaming but counters are 😍
The #SoCalWargamers group meets in Pasadena and uses a Google group to plot our shenanigans. We mostly play historical boardgame wargames aka #consim or #hexandcounter games.
I’m a regular attendee at the #GMTGames #WeekendAtTheWarehouse, #SDHist, & #PacificonGameExpo cons.
Why yes, I am a #CounterClipper too!
Skies Above Britain #boardgame by Jerry White & Gina Willis and published by #GMTGames. An impressive package indeed. The rules are richly illustrated & easy to follow. Lots of detailed playaids, and nice and clear counters. SaB can be played solo or with 2 players.
Listening to the music from the 1969 Battle of Britain film is mandatory while playing. Or so I’ve told myself 🤪
