I bought a game called "Islebound"
I have ships, sir.

The wheat carrying ship game.

You asshats keep laughing, but attacking wheat-producing regions over the sea has been pretty important over the years

Uhm, there's that word - "attacking." Not something common in games like "Agricola."

Did you notice all the actual wargames in that article?

Only if the plane is napalming wheat fields.

Seriously, change the name of the forum to "boardgaming" if that's what this is. Also, ditch the name "Grogheads," because Catan and BS like that isn't. You want to encourage wargaming, you need a place that isn't overrun with the same Euros Origins has been overrun with.

EuroHeads isn't all that catchy.

And/or indigenous wheat harvesters. Roll d10 for the number of flesh burns and then a d20 on the Political SJW Impact Table if an American bomber, or d100 on the Eliminate Capitalist Swine VP table if 'Other.'

You cannot enjoy both?  I do.  But I'll endeavor not to violate the safe space here any longer and allow you all to discuss war games exclusively.

Oh don't do that. I like being able to tease you about euro games :P

Sure you can enjoy both. Who said you couldn't enjoy both? The forum in question is wargames, though. Why not start a forum for other boardgames?


But okay, let this go ahead and be a forum where 75% of the posts are not about wargames. There are other places to go discuss wargames that are exclusive to those. I'm happy to go there.

I don't think there's anything preventing us from talking about wargames. This is a "what's on your table?" thread. If we're going to start limiting it to just wargames,  there's a going to be a lot less activity.

I play plenty of wargames and I feel like I can discuss them here without worrying about whether or not other game discussions somehow limit me.

If it's a serious concern, then the forum title should be changed to Boardgaming with a wargaming sub-forum. I don't see the necessity personally.
