Quotes (from this video)
- So, that's where Harold Buchanan and a lot of his volunteers live.
- It was really amazing to get to play games with my friends in my home turf, uh but with, you know, friends that I never get to see there.
- But, Fort Snelling has a lot of really cool Minnesota history.
- So, I have a special interest in this right now because David and I are working on a game called Throw Down That Flag, which is about the first Minnesota Gettysburg, and we've been doing a bunch of research and playing with our system a whole lot and it's been really cool.
- As General Hancock put it, there's no more gallant deed recorded in history.
- It was clear these are people who love their jobs, who love Minnesota history, who really care about artifacts, and it was just such a delight to get to see them and to check out everything that that tour had to offer.
- It reminded me that I still really love the game.
- That felt wonderful.
- But what these cons are really the best for, I think, is spending a lot of time just talking to people.
- And you know, there was something for everybody at this convention, and it really made me happy to see so many people in my home turf enjoying historical games.
- So, I hope they take a walk on the Midwestern side a little more often because it was so wonderful to spend so much time uh among friends and doing what we like to do the most.
- I will be super bummed if we never get to do it here again.

Quotes (from this video)
- We're not trying to simulate a battle or simulate. We're trying to evoke feelings, right? And we're trying to communicate key points.
- If you're too accurate, you lose the vibe. And if you're very viby and you're going for that authentic feeling, then you can't have too much chrome on it.
- The dangerous part is the video does a really good job... it just gets off the rails and starts to hallucinate when it jumped from the unit being deployed to the UK...
- We have officially reached the point where there's just stuff out there that is slop and you have to follow up.
- I feel like the artists we've worked with have also impacted our design like mechanically even on the when graphic starts to get done.
- the game doesn't exist without all of those people, right?
- I never get to play my favorite games often and I certainly don't get to play my favorite games a lot.
