Global Flag Football League™ (GFFL)’s Post

Week 40 Challenge: “Storms don’t stop Wars”. This post comes a day late due to our need to prepare for hurricane Milton. As part of storm prep, we are getting candles, lanterns, and board games ready to pass the time. This storm and Helene’s inspired this week’s challenge “Storms don’t stop Wars”. Setup: using 6 game boards arranged as displayed, each player uses two rifle squads and one gun team. Each player is assigned two game boards to arrange their game pieces on with two game boards left as a starting buffer in between. Special rules: every third round of play, one player roles a single die (alternate each time this happens between the two players starting with the player who won the initial roll for moving first). The number rolled will correspond with one of the boards (see photo for number designations) and that game board is hit with the effects of “the storm”. To simulate this, all game pieces on that game board will each individually roll their unique dice value against the “storm” with the storm’s roll having a dice value of 5. Any game piece that loses in a roll to the storm will be removed from the game board. Will you consolidate your forces to mass your effects of fire on your opponent? Or divide your forces to reduce risk? Good luck, and for those in Milton’s path be safe and be ready!

Week 37 Challenge: The Gauntlet Do you think you have the strategic outlook and tactical prowess to survive against insurmountable odds and overwhelming firepower? Test your ability against this week’s challenge - ‘The Gauntlet’. Setup: arrange three game boards in a row and place obstacle game pieces as shown - this creates your lane consisting of designates “safe”zones (highlighted in blue on each end of the row, sorry for it being difficult to see, I was running out of dry erase ink!) and the kill zone (highlighted in red dry erase). Next, place red game pieces exactly as shown in the photo (consisting of 2 gun teams, all six leader game pieces, an RTO, and all 7 asset game pieces). Finally, blue player places one rifle squad in any array within the first safe zone (see photo for example). Special Rules: Blue player has first turn and must navigate to the opposite side of the game boards and must stay within the designated row marked by obstacle game pieces (also highlighted in red as the kill zone). On his/her turn the red player can only attack, he/she cannot move any game pieces. Objective: blue player’s objective is to get one game piece into the safe zone on the opposite side of the game boards. Good luck and share your results with us in the comments section below 👇!

Week 9 Challenge: “Four Way Death Match.” *This game mode is intended to be played with 4 players on four game boards as shown* Setup-each player gets one rifle squad and one machine gun team. They are then assigned one of the four color sides as their color and are designated one of the game boards as their starting assembly area. Each player then arranges his/her own game pieces along with 5 obstacles in any arrangement on their designated board. All other rules are the same. The player will still use game pieces remaining on the board after all others are eliminated wins. Note:to keep track of which game pieces have been used, players will not flip over the game pieces, but instead rotate the directional arrows.

Week 25 Challenge - “Reinforcements” This mode of gameplay, both players choose any 8 game pieces to begin with. Every 5th round they receive an additional 8 game pieces of their choosing. Victory is achieved when a player eliminates all opposing game pieces from the board. If this happens before reinforcements arrive then that player achieves victory early. Setup: Arrange 4 game boards in a 2 x 2. Next, place 8 obstacle game pieces as shown in the photo - this establishes the assembly areas for each players’ game pieces. *Optional: the players may divide the remaining obstacle game pieces and take turns placing them in the game area. Lastly, each player chooses 8 of their 48 game pieces to begin with and places them in their respective assembly areas. All other rules remain in effect.

'Earn this! Earn it!' 💰 In the corporate and financial world, these sentiments echo round the high rise offices and skyscrapers of our capital cities. 🎥 Spielberg's epic World War II film, Saving Private Ryan (1998), Army Captain and Ranger John Miller (Tom Hanks) lies dying on the battlefield from gunshot wounds, as Private James Ryan (Matt Damon) looks on in horror and grief. Miller pulls Ryan close and exhorts him with his dying breaths, saying, “Earn this! Earn it!” Miller along with his squad of US Rangers had been sent by the US government to rescue Private Ryan as the last surviving brother (his other 3 brothers had already died on the battlefields in Europe). When we reflect on our lives, how do we 'earn it?' In another film, Gladiator, it is put this way by the Roman general Maximus as he addresses his troops before battle.  Brothers, what we do in life… echoes in eternity.” What do you want your legacy to be? At Strathmore, we see beyond capital to the bigger picture. We help our clients make a difference so they can create a legacy. A legacy worth making sacrifices for and living for. What is your 'why?' #Privatewealth #UHNWI #sportsbusiness #entertainment #multifamilyoffice #legacy

As we approach Memorial Day weekend, a time of reflection and gratitude for the sacrifices of our service members, I wanted to highlight an important lesson from USMC Major General Oliver Smith. In the heat of the Chosin Reservoir battle, General Smith famously declared, 'Retreat hell! We are attacking in another direction.' This perspective exemplifies not just military acumen but a powerful mindset and strategic resilience as well. When faced with unexpected challenges, having the courage and adaptability to pivot cannot be overstated. Embracing a nimble, growth mindset allows us to see beyond immediate setbacks. Like General Smith, we’re not backing down; we’re boldly charting a new path in a direction that was not part of the original plan. This approach keeps us agile, prepared, and always moving forward, turning potential defeats into strategic opportunities for advancement. This Memorial Day, please take some time to reflect on the lessons of being adaptable, resilient, and forward-thinking that we can learn from those who served and sacrificed. #memorialday #honorthefallen #nimble #growthmindset #veteran #reflection #resilience #grit

Week 14 Challenge: “Zombie Apocalypse”. I was originally going to save this one for a later date, but considering the excitement surrounding the upcoming solar eclipse, and all the crazy beliefs and theories of pending doom, I thought it would be fun to release this one now. I also base some of the setup on this challenge on one of the most notable zombie apocalypse video games ever (left 4 dead): Situation: the end of the world has arrived and the zombie hoard is right outside your door. Can you and your rag-tag fire team survive? Setup: See the photo for emplacement of all game pieces. This time it is the blue side that plays the “bad guy”, and gets 12 “zombie” rifleman. Red gets a modified fire team with a rifleman, grenadier, automatic rifleman, and a designated marksman. The game ends when only one player remains on the board. Good luck, have fun, and be safe this next week during the eclipse!

Week 23 Challenge - The Beaches of Normandy. On this day, 80 years ago, U.S. and British forces crossed the English Channel and invaded Nazi occupied Europe. Some of these young men faced little resistance that day as they crossed the beaches, others faced fighting so fierce that they are now remembered as legends. In this week’s challenge players will get the chance to face a simulated beach landing where enemy forces have the advantage of heavy machine guns and maneuverability on the terrain. Setup: Red Player begins by setting up their ICV game pieces and all 20 obstacle game pieces as depicted in the photo. Note* these ICV game pieces are to remain in place and cannot move for the duration of the game, this is to simulate the machine gun nests. Next, red player may then place all of the rest of his/her game pieces anywhere behind the line of ICVs and obstacles and in any arrangement(see photo as an example). Next, Blue Player can setup all his/her game pieces (except for their ICV game pieces) in the first two rows in any arrangement. Note* Blue Player does not get to use the ICV game pieces in this scenario. Blue goes first. All other rules remain in effect. Good luck, have a safe weekend and remember the young men who fought and who died this day 80 years ago during this daring invasion into Europe.

With the Canadian Government indicating future increases in defence spending, there needs to be innovation in a number of critical areas. Anduril Industries is changing the way military capabilities are developed to address the current treats. Here are a few resources for you to decide if this model is of value to Canada's national security.
