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.

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”

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”

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”
