Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 04 – Closed for Renovation (The Sequel)

Friday Night Shots (Saturday Edition) – Long or Short Games at Cons?
It’s been almost a year since my last Friday Night Shots post (though yes, it is Saturday), but last weekend’s convention gave me a couple of ideas to explore. Though sadly the bar is closed, the whiskey does keep flowing! And producing boardgame thoughts… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots (Saturday Edition) – Long or Short Games at Cons?”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 108 – In My Time of Dying
In many tactical wargames, especially pitting small units like squads and stuff against each other, smoke becomes very important. Even more so when there’s a lot of open ground to cover. Welcome to another tale from the Combat Commander ladder, that monthly tournament run… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 108 – In My Time of Dying”
