Storm Above the Reich – After Action Report – Mission #9
Two missions into the second season of my Storm Above the Reich campaign and things aren’t going the greatest.

Friday Night Shots – Removing the Shrinkwrap From New Games
It’s Friday, a week before Christmas, and the whiskey is flowing while I read blog posts. Or write them! I just got three new games this week from 401 Games (my Canadian retailer of choice for boardgames) and as I was eagerly ripping the… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Removing the Shrinkwrap From New Games”
Storm Above the Reich – After Action Report – Mission #8
We’re in the second mission of the second season of the Staffel Roy Storm Above the Reich campaign, and things aren’t necessarily going that well.

Review – Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition
(Edit: This game is on my Top 25 games played of all time!) What happens when one of your favourite games gets a bit of a revamp where it’s faster and also uses some mechanisms from other games that you like? It’s not the… Continue Reading “Review – Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition”
Storm Above the Reich – After Action Report – Mission #7
With the successful (well, successful as meaning that I didn’t lose) completion of Mission #6 in Storm Above the Reich, it was time to move to the middle of 1943 and see if Staffel Roy could actually pull out a victory rather than just… Continue Reading “Storm Above the Reich – After Action Report – Mission #7”

It’s that three of the seven entries on this list are from Alderac Entertainment… Continue Reading “New to Me – November 2021”
