Expansion Review – Smash Up: Marvel
My first Smash Up review in almost two years!

Do you like giving it to one of your opponents, good and hard? By that I mean, of course, by overwhelming them with so much stuff that they can’t cope with it. (What did you think I meant?) Anyway, if you like that sort… Continue Reading “Review – Whirling Witchcraft”
November 2021 Monthly Update From GMT Games

Thoughts on Ultimate, Deluxe, & Collector’s Editions
Back in January 2021, there was a blog post on Boardgame Geek about a new complete set of the “Railroads” game coming this year. This would be the classic Russian Railroads, the German Railroads expansion and the American Railroads expansion. I made a note… Continue Reading “Thoughts on Ultimate, Deluxe, & Collector’s Editions”
Storm Above the Reich – After Action Report – Missions #4 & #5
This is another combined report of Staffel Roy’s campaign in Storm Above the Reich with two missions in it, mainly because Mission #4 basically had nothing happen. I mean, things happened, but at the end of the day, nothing was shot down, no bombers… Continue Reading “Storm Above the Reich – After Action Report – Missions #4 & #5”
