We played Stephen Rangazas & @joedewhurst.bsky.social’s the Guerrilla Generation: Uruguay by @gmtgames.bsky.social last night. I played the state power this time. The Tupamaro cells were tough as hell to keep up with … until the Military stepped in and wiped them off the map.

NEW EPISODE! I chatted with Akar Bharadvaj about his excellent Iran-Iraq War design Chalice of Poison. We discussed why it’s an underserved topic in games, his award-winning Tyranny of Blood, and diversity of topics in the historical corner of the hobby. www.buzzsprout.com/1993070/epis...
