Expansion Review – Shards of Infinity: Into the Horizon

Review – The Rival Networks

I have always loved The Networks, ever since the beginning. It was one of my first Kickstarter games and it’s solidly in my Top 10 games of all time. So when I heard that a 2-player version of the game, The Rival Networks, was… Continue Reading “Review – The Rival Networks”

Storm Above the Reich – After Action Report – Missions #1 & #2

Storm Above the Reich is a solo game (it can be played 2-players cooperatively, but why would you?) where you are leading a squadron of German Luftwaffe fighters against B-24 bombers who are attempting to bomb their targets. In the 1943 seasons, this is… Continue Reading “Storm Above the Reich – After Action Report – Missions #1 & #2”
