Paper Wars 81: Position Magnifique
Also available as magazine only
Position Magnifique: Mars-la-Tour 1870 is a medium-sized, brigade-scale game for two players (although it is solitaire-friendly). The French player, as Marshal Bazaine, must coordinate his huge army and take advantage of his greater numbers and the French infantry’s superior Chassepot rifle. The Prussian player, as von Moltke, must play a cunning game of bluff, hold the line with his deadly Krupp artillery and launch timely attacks as his reinforcements race to the battlefield.

Paper Wars
The post Paper Wars appeared first on MoTech Radio.
Just yesterday, Facebook released its new app, paper, for U.S. iPhone users. The app is a new, magazine-like way to view the newsfeed on mobile devices. Start-up company FiftyThree, however, is unhappy with Facebook for using their name. BBC explains the situation:
Facebook asked to change Paper name
The original Paper was developed by start-up FiftyThree and won Apple’s 2012 iPad app of the year. It allows people to sketch on their iPad and has garnered 100 million users. Facebook’s Paper is designed as an alternative way to read newsfeeds. …
FiftyThree has published a blog post regarding the issue, explaining that they’ve “reached out to Facebook” but have not received a satisfactory response. Facebook so far has remained silent on the issue, but you can read Fifty-three’s post:
Every Story Has a Name
FiftyThree’s story began with Paper. What began with three guys building an app out of a New York City apartment has gone on to become one of the most celebrated applications on iOS, defining mobile creativity and winning Apple’s 2012 iPad App of the Year. …
If FiftyThree decides to take Facebook to court over the issue, it looks like they might actually have a strong case. Tech Crunch explains trademarking and how it’s affecting the situation:
FiftyThree Files Trademark For “Paper”
Yesterday, as Facebook launched its news reader app Paper, design-focused startup FiftyThree called out Facebook publicly for using their brand name. Facebook declined to change the name of their brand new reader app. …
What do you think? Should FiftyThree take on the multi-million dollar company, or just cut their losses? Whatever happens, Fifty-three’s Paper is certainly getting a lot of publicity.
