Coming Soon: Oncoming Storm: Love and Wargames · 6:10am Jun 13th, 2018
Synopsis
Cloud Kicker and Rainbow Dash usually get along, especially since they started dating. However, when Rainbow pulls a prank that Cloud considers a bit too ambitious, the two of them have a falling out that leaves their relationship strained. Will an upcoming gaming tournament give the two of them a chance to reconcile, or will tensions boil over and push them apart for good?
Ooh, more Oncoming Storm. And any story that involves Shining Armor and wargaming is right up my alley. Looking forward to this one.

So Cloud Kicker is a Flames of War kind of person, and Rainbow is clearly playing Mercenaries in Warmachine. And clearly this is going to end on Twi beating them both because tabletop wargames are basically just "Geometry and Statistics: the Game."
Tabletop wargames you say....dammit, im gonna have to back-read all these stories to catch up, aren't i?

Not really, although you should totally read them anyway.

You actually called where I took inspiration for Rainbow’s army. Because of course she’d want an army with ninjas, pirates, battle bears, and all lead by a dwarf who specializes in making everything explode.
Let's hope they can at least keep the pre-war wine and cheese civil. Are my group of friends the only ones that do that? Regardless, I'm getting the feeling that while Rainbow and Cloud are busy with their dick measuring contest (that is the official term for this sort of thing in my group), Twilight will slowly push out from Australia and rack up enough territory cards to cash in for a monster of an army and crush both of them (or maybe force them to work together to defeat her). Usually that's about how our games go (and works as a callback to the Running of the Leaves episode from season 1).

I'm also way behind, ha. I definitely need to catch up - especially if there's wargames involved.

You don't need to be caught up to understand the wargaming, since we've gone out of our way to make sure it's accessible to newcomers in this story.
We'll just silently you for having not read everything up 'til now.
