A Gaming Life
Happy New Year, everybody! I hope you had a safe and happy New Year’s Eve celebration last night, or at least just spent the changeover with your loved ones. Some of you may even have been asleep! As I did last year and for… Continue Reading “Blog in Review – 2024”
There was no way December was going to top November, what with Bottoscon and all. But I did want to get a good variety of games in, and I think I did a pretty good job with that! December was a weird month, though.… Continue Reading “December 2024 Gaming”
The fickle finger of fate. Sometimes she’s good to you and the finger has chocolate on it. Sometimes she’s bad to you and you don’t want to taste what’s on it. And sometimes she’s both. Which can be a thing of nightmares, actually. That… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 61 – Surrender is Out of the Question!”
I have been having a horrible streak of luck and bad play in my monthly Combat Commander ladder games, with a three-month losing streak going into my October game!

There are times, of course, where there’s really no point in going on, but those times are much fewer than in some… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 02 – Hedgerows & Hand Grenades”
It’s been three years. Three years since I watched a bunch of videos about this wargmaming tournament with monthly games against different opponents each month, each featuring a scenario from various expansions and battle packs which will keep the variety going. Yes, it’s been… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 104 – Go For Broke”
Since my May Combat Commander ladder game isn’t until later this month, I thought I would share a previous supplemental adventure that I had back in February with a member of the ladder. The March ladder scenario is always taken from the Sea Lion… Continue Reading “Combat Commander After Action Report Supplemental No. 4 – Scenario 89 – Beneath a Steel Sky”
