🎥 Tank Duel – Live Play + Quick Teach

Tonight we’re rolling out Tank Duel, published by GMT Games, in an epic matchup featuring The Command Post versus Mike Bertucelli (yes—the designer himself!), along with Hex 2 Hex and Nerd Workshop.

We’ll kick things off with a quick teach, then jump straight into the action as tanks maneuver, shells fly, armor gets tested, and someone almost certainly catches fire 🔥.

Come hang out, talk tanks, and enjoy some classic GMT tactical goodness as we blast each other to smithereens.
Should be fun.
Should be loud.
Should be very combustible.

👉 Like, subscribe, and jump into the chat!

Live Cardboard 25 - Tim Densham!

Pushing Cardboard

We look at how to play one of the first two games from Neva Game Press. Sea & Steel: Columbus' Voyages is a game of colonization, but in this instance, the indigenous population is and equal player. Perhaps the Carribean won't be colonized after all?

Sea & Steel Overview

Pushing Cardboard

Check out one of the first two games from new Spanish publisher Neva Game Press. Sea & Steel: Columbus' Voyages is a 2 person game of attempted colonization. The box is a smaller footprint than you may be used to, but the components are lovely, including a mounted map.

Also check out my overview of gameplay: https://youtu.be/LbZOOIIAXRA

The Lamps Are Going Out Turn 1 - Fall 1914

My Own Worst Enemy

Day 3 was costly. The Japanese Super Destroyer was severely damaged, but not destroyed—and the victory came at a heavy price. We lost a pilot in the attack.

RIP Maestro.

As Day 4 begins in Corsair Leader by Dan Verssen Games, the squadron regroups with renewed resolve. The enemy is wounded but still fighting, and now is the moment to press the advantage.

🎯 Day 4 Objective
Put the pressure back on the Japanese. Finish what was started. No letup.

Today’s missions carry the weight of loss—but also the determination to make it count.
