I think Dan should dress up and come on as Blaque Jacques Shelaque. BTW Curt had a interesting roadmap video about ASL mentioning that the electronic rule book (eASLRB) would be made freely available and be comprehensive, I think including the historical module rulesets. Great news from my impoverished perspective.
Napoleon's Triumph is a very interesting game. The map is gorgeous, and takes on a character of its own. As a game it's very innovative, and looks very fun to play. It has been criticized for a lack of historicity. I think of it as Michelangelo designing a version of Pub Battles. Her essay in the book is great too, and talks about this. I'm sorry she left the hobby.
Have had to unfollow Curt several times on FB, can't deal with his perspective on life, but he does currently appear to be heavily involved in ASL at MMP.
It's amusing to me that you say no politics up front and then get into talking about styles of pizza, which is absolutely a political or religious debate 😄.

I'm demanding that Dan compose a wargaming-themed Christmas album.
Dan is a radical and divisive figure too...but we like him anyway.
I think the Night Witches flew Soviet biplanes and sounded like sewing machines.
Talking the game and politics should be treated as a separate conversation.

Haha1 someone was a little cranky today.
I enjoy long detailed games, but 3-4 hours are best.
Rural locations make it hard to find partners to play with. D&D not an issue, but military type games almost impossible.
I hope it is not contagious! I’ll keep my distance just in case!!!😊
I prefer his ‘ Witcher’ series and ‘Man from Uncle!’
Any truth to the rumour that Stiglr bought a pizza oven and plans to use it to playtest forthcoming titles from Decision Games?

I "almost" prefer solo social wargaming, that way I don't have to deal with their interpretation of the rules...😁
