With the close of the year 2021, I have actually played 422 games since I really started playing boardgames in 2012.

New to Me – December 2021

It’s the end of the year 2021 (or it was when I played these games, anyway). Having been able to go to game days again since August 2021, it was nice to have a bunch of new to me games to play each month!… Continue Reading “New to Me – December 2021”

Storm Above the Reich – After Action Report – Mission #11

Four missions into the second season of the Staffel Roy campaign in Storm Above the Reich and things aren’t looking that rosy. Victory points are few and far between. I need 30 VP to “not lose” and I’m not that close with only 7.… Continue Reading “Storm Above the Reich – After Action Report – Mission #11”

December 2021 Monthly Update From GMT Games

It’s month three of doing of doing what the fabulous wargaming blog, The Players’ Aid, have habitually been doing for a long while now: an analysis of the monthly update from GMT Games!

App Review – Evolution: Climate (With a Little Evolution Thrown In)

A couple of months ago, I reviewed Oceans, a sequel of sorts to the great game from North Star Games Evolution. But North Star is never willing to sit on their hands and revel in the joy of a successful app. After a kind… Continue Reading “App Review – Evolution: Climate (With a Little Evolution Thrown In)”

Storm Above the Reich – After Action Report – Mission #10

We are now three missions into the Staffel Roy campaign for Storm Above the Reich and things aren’t really progressing very well. The “mid-1943” campaign requires 30 victory points (VP) to “not lose” and I’m at a total of 5 in 3 missions. I… Continue Reading “Storm Above the Reich – After Action Report – Mission #10”
