If it came to a vote on authorizing force against Denmark/Greenland, do you think it would pass?

Well, it's nice to see some Republicans pushing back against Trump and Miller's Greenland gambit: https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/07/gop-lawmakers-denounce-trump-seize-greenland-00714611

Yeah but who cares? Congress has given up all its power to the President to declare war. And it isn't like they are going to pass some kind of bill saying he can't invade Greenland. That would require them to stand up to Trump.

They just stood up to Trump. 

Who did, and how exactly?

Yes, but I don't think it's entirely fair to hold that against her.  Dana Gillespie played Mary Magdalen in JCSS as well, sometimes you just have to do things to pay the bills.

Yeah, I played a little with my 10 year old yesterday and it worked well. He's pretty savvy though, so we'll definitely go advanced game next time.

I like the Warlords II meets AD&D 2. edition vibe that surrounds it.

Burning banners is surprisingly fun in terms of all the spells and such offering tactical options despite the game being pretty light - don't bother with limiting yourself to the basic rules if you have played any other modern boardgame really, although I guess they would be good with kids. Gorgeous looking components, too.

I saw the TT this morning, and my first thought at the Complacency mechanic and its debuffs across the board was, "But why? What's the historical idea behind this? And is there a better way of modeling?"

They passed a no Greenland bill?

Not AFAIK.  Are you proposing a debate on the meaning of stand up to?
