Just back from @SDHistCon A great event! Highlights inc seeing Purple Haze in the wild, playing Littoral Commander (awesome game!), playing giant celebrity JoCo, demoing with Florent for @Nutspublishing & most of all, making new friends with so many lovely people❤️
Battlegroup Clash: Baltics. Red has the key hill, eliminating Blue's only Javelin team in the process. Blue's MBT Troop & an Armd Infantry Pl pull back. Red though has lost its Fire Support Team to a drone attack, and the Blue Recce is in a great position to call in Fires. 1/3
BC:B is the first Sapper Studio game I'm planning to publish. It is based on the British Army's forthcoming Battlegroup Wargame System, created by Vedette Consulting, for which I am the Developer. It will be more streamlined, with a greater focus on execution over planning 2/3
Plus some other innovations and tweaks to make it accessible to hobby gamers. It is intended as a hybrid hobby-professional game, like @SebastianBae Littoral Commander. If you want to know more or getting involved in playtesting please email [email protected] 3/3

I have just published a blog about this sapperstudio.com/post/are-pr…
Thanks Quinns for taking the time to cover the topic so thoroughly (even if I don't agree with everything you say)
Where do wargamers learn about games? Who do they watch, read and listen to? The answers are here sapperstudio.com/post/wargam… (and more about Sapper Studio in the coming days)

One of the professional wargaming products I'm developing. Still at prototype stage, but taking shape. A key focus & challenge is to bring in what the 'hobby' side of gaming does well: user experience & playablility, without losing credible outcomes and thus military-user buy in.
I recently surveyed the wargaming community's media habits. Had a good response rate (408). Full results with analysis in the not too distant future, but here is a teaser... (note "regularly" here)
