New to Me – August 2020

Book Review -Arnhem: the Battle for the Bridges by Anthony Beevor

For only a little shorter amount of time (like… Continue Reading “Book Review -Arnhem: the Battle for the Bridges by Anthony Beevor”
The OP & AEG Announce New Marvel Smash Up Factions
Even after all of this time, I’m still kind of on the fence regarding the idea of Alderac Entertainment Group and the OP teaming up to do an officially licensed Smash Up expansion.

Ascension Tactics on Kickstarter
Usual readers of this blog (Hi Bob!) might remember that I’m a big fan of the Ascension franchise. I love this deckbuilding game to death, though I’m more of a fan of it on the iPad than I am on the table (all of that… Continue Reading “Ascension Tactics on Kickstarter”
