Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 27 – Carentan Causeway
After getting my July Combat Commander game done on July 1, July was a long month to wait for another one! I was going to set up another one in July but ended up not doing so.

New to Me – July 2025
It’s funny, but no matter how bad a month might be as far as playing games, I usually get a decent number of “new to me” games played. I thought July would be slow, but it ended up being pretty normal. I also thought,… Continue Reading “New to Me – July 2025”

But something cool coming up will always make me write something, and today I… Continue Reading “Civolution – Acceptance Letter expansion for Fall 2025”

Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 18 – Bridge Hunt

And both of us having Canada Day off and lots… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 18 – Bridge Hunt”
New to Me – June 2025
Ah, June. Halfway through the year (at the end of it anyway) and it’s good to take stock of where I am in my boardgaming. I’ve played more than half again the number of unique games as I did last year, meaning I (hopefully)… Continue Reading “New to Me – June 2025”
June 2025 Gaming
With a convention in June (Bottoscon for the win!), I knew that June would be a much better month for gaming than May was. That’s one reason I love convention months! Even so, there weren’t as many “new to me” games as in previous… Continue Reading “June 2025 Gaming”
