1989: Dawn of Freedom from GMT Games
In what is quickly becoming a regular series, today’s post is about another GMT Games P500 game that I’ve ordered but it hasn’t quite made the cut yet. Previous attempts have born fruit! The Barracks Emperors has gained a whole 8 more orders! Last week’s… Continue Reading “1989: Dawn of Freedom from GMT Games”
New to Me – November 2019

The last month of the year, the Christmas (or whatever end-of-year holiday you celebrate) season is upon us, but before we look forward to all of those presents sitting under the tree (or sitting under whatever your end-of-year holiday object is), it’s… Continue Reading “New to Me – November 2019”

Review – 13 Days: The Cuban Missile Crisis
The early 1960s were a different time. The chaos in American society over the war in Vietnam hadn’t really started yet. Protests and radicalism weren’t prominent like they became later in the decade. The Cold War, however, was definitely a thing and it was… Continue Reading “Review – 13 Days: The Cuban Missile Crisis”

Review – Iron Curtain
The Cold War has always been an interesting topic for me. As a child of the 70s and 80s, I grew up during the height of it, when TV-movies like The Day After and World War III (damn, David Soul could act) made us wonder… Continue Reading “Review – Iron Curtain”
