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!

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. No more pilots have been lost and I did get a victory point last mission, but then I looked… Continue Reading “Storm Above the Reich – After Action Report – Mission #8”

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”

(Edit 1/11/22: The Kickstarter is now live!)

New to Me – November 2021
Welcome to November’s “New to Me” post! You may notice something odd about November. No, it’s not that I had way too much Thanksgiving turkey (THANKSGIVING’S IN OCTOBER, YOU NON-CANADIANS!). It’s that three of the seven entries on this list are from Alderac Entertainment… Continue Reading “New to Me – November 2021”
Expansion Review – Smash Up: Marvel
My first Smash Up review in almost two years! One of my pandemic lock-down games purchases (and yes, there were many…too many) was the latest Smash Up expansion, this time done as a co-production with the OP and thus including the Marvel Comics license.… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: Marvel”
Review – Whirling Witchcraft
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”
