Every year I write this same article, use the same thumbnail, and make the same intro joke. Sometimes it’s just nice to have something steady and reliable in this crazy world. Unfortunately, Shatterpoint falls more into the “crazy world” category than “steady and reliable” these days. Back in February it
As a nerd writing nerdy articles for nerds, perhaps this isn’t the right spot to use sports analogies. I’ll try anyway, though, and now seems like as good a time as any considering a new NFL season is right around the corner. The sports movement towards analytics has helped shape
It’s that time again – time to talk about a new mission! Admittedly, missions have felt a bit stagnant since last year’s release of First Contact fell a bit flat. I have high hopes for Strategic Positions, though. Not only does it bring interesting, fresh mechanics, but I think it’s
We’re about one month removed from the May 2026 unit update, which obviously means it’s time to do some way-too-early meta analysis.

In case you didn’t know, I’m a big spreadsheet nerd. Shocking, right? Before you judge too much, don’t forget that it led to the creation of the Shatterpoint dice simulator. Stats and data can be deceiving, but with the right context and a big grain of salt, we can still
Time flies when you’re having fun! It wasn’t that long ago I was recapping the first Shatterpoint World Championship. Now we’ve doubled that with the second coming to an end March 29 in Milwaukee. Similar to last year, this will be the first of two worlds-related articles. The other will
