Aces of Valor After Action Report – British Short Campaign – Mission 2

Sorry it’s been a couple of months since the first mission report from the new solo WWI aircraft game, Aces of Valor. It’s not because I didn’t want to! Things just got ahead of me. Like other German fighter pilots! How to play this… Continue Reading “Aces of Valor After Action Report – British Short Campaign – Mission 2”

The Last Hundred Yards (Volume 3) – The Solomon Islands – Storage Solution With Rails on Boards

Having already used the excellent Cube4Me plastic storage trays for the first two volumes of The Last One Hundred Yards (from GMT Games), it was a no-brainer that when I finally had some extra trays, I would create a set for the third volume,… Continue Reading “The Last Hundred Yards (Volume 3) – The Solomon Islands – Storage Solution With Rails on Boards”

New to Me – June 2023

June has been a busy month, and not seemingly conducive to getting new board games played. We missed a Sunday game day (Father’s Day) and for two of the other three Sundays, our main “new games” guy wasn’t able to come. However, we maximized… Continue Reading “New to Me – June 2023”

Friday Night Shots – Game Length

(This was supposed to go out last night, but instead it’s going out tonight. Pretend it’s still Friday, ok?) It’s another Friday, and it’s vacation time! Yes, I am off of work for an entire month, not returning until July 31. But since it… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Game Length”

June 2023 Gaming

With Father’s Day coming in June (here’s a link to the Father’s Day post I made in 2019, the first Father’s Day after my dad passed away), meaning that another Sunday Game Day was cancelled (or moved, but I chose to skip it), I… Continue Reading “June 2023 Gaming”

Inferno: Guelphs & Ghibellines – Storage Solution from Rails on Board

With taking an unofficial break last week, it’s time for another great storage solution from Cube4Me and Rails on Board. This one I purchased a while back but am just now getting it written about. Inferno: Guelphs & Ghibellines Vie for Tuscany, 1259 –… Continue Reading “Inferno: Guelphs & Ghibellines – Storage Solution from Rails on Board”

Friday Night Shots – Pre-Order Extravaganza!

Welcome back! Belly up to the bar and let me get you a drink of some kind. Doesn’t have to be booze. It’s Friday again. The week has kind of flown by, though that could be because it feels like I have a million… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Pre-Order Extravaganza!”

Highlights From the June GMT Update

It’s June and I just realized today that I haven’t done a GMT highlights post in a while. I’m always a bit torn because I’m not truly a wargamer (at least not much of one), so a lot of the “oh, that looks neat!”… Continue Reading “Highlights From the June GMT Update”

Friday Night Shots – Never-Ending Arguments

Dune: Imperium box

Welcome to Friday night! It’s the weekend, hopefully you’ve got something good planned. Pull up a chair, and let’s talk about some stuff. So, what is a wargame? No, no no, don’t worry your pretty heart about that. I’m not actually asking you that… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Never-Ending Arguments”
