Blog in Review – 2025
Happy New Year, everybody! I hope you had a wonderful and safe holiday season and new year’s celebration last night. Maybe you were out celebrating, or just having drinks with friends? Or maybe you were even asleep? Whichever it was, I hope it was… Continue Reading “Blog in Review – 2025”
Combat Commander After Action Report – Scenario #46 – Pegasus Bridge
I must have done some really bad things in a previous life. Maybe I held an entire disco hostage, forcing them to listen to the long-forgotten Blues album by Gilbert Gottfried. This week’s Combat Commander ladder game is a testament that I must have… Continue Reading “Combat Commander After Action Report – Scenario #46 – Pegasus Bridge”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 42 – Rumanian Defiance
One of the main rules of Combat Commander is “Anything can happen, so don’t give up.” Obviously the caveat to that is “unless all hope is lost,” but in Combat Commander, that “lost” level is much higher than in many other games. My November… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 42 – Rumanian Defiance”
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. Thankfully my August game was also done… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 27 – Carentan Causeway”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 18 – Bridge Hunt
Holy crap, it’s the first week of July and you’re seeing yet another tale from the Combat Commander ladder from me? That’s right, we actually got our game done on July 1. That’s dedication! And both of us having Canada Day off and lots… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 18 – Bridge Hunt”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 118 – No. 4 Commando
Combat Commander can be a weird duck sometimes. One day, luck is swinging wildly like a drunk pool player swinging his stick around because he scratched on an easy 8-ball shot. The next day, things pretty much go in a straight line, from one… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 118 – No. 4 Commando”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario LoM #11 – La Villa Strangiato
Combat Commander can be a game of wild swings of luck, back and forth so much that it might make you dizzy (and make bad decisions). Sometimes, though, there is just one swing. You know how, when you were a kid, sometimes your dad… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario LoM #11 – La Villa Strangiato”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 86 – Keep Calm and Carry On
Never has a scenario title been so apt! As you shall see. The subtitle for this post is The Ballad of Sergeant Hawes. Welcome to another tale from the Combat Commander ladder, that monthly tournament of one of the greatest games out there. Administered… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 86 – Keep Calm and Carry On”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 78 – By These Deeds They Shall Be Known
After a few months’ streak of fun games that ultimately lead to more futility, it was time to see if I could end this losing streak. I hadn’t lost this many Combat Commander games in a row in quite a while! Would I be… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 78 – By These Deeds They Shall Be Known”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 62 – Bessarabian Nights II
If the sight of blood makes you feel squeamish, you can certainly continue reading this after action report. I haven’t seen this much of a dearth of blood in a Combat Commander game since my first ladder game in 2021! I’m getting ahead of… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 62 – Bessarabian Nights II”
