Bottoscon Spring 2025 Retrospective
I love game conventions. Not only do they give me even more of an opportunity to play great games, but it gives me the opportunity to game and chat with many people who I don’t see very often. That’s why Bottoscon is one of… Continue Reading “Bottoscon Spring 2025 Retrospective”
May 2025 Gaming
I wasn’t expecting too much out of my May gaming period, mainly because of Mother’s Day and two Vancouver marathons meaning that we didn’t have our usual Sunday gaming place for three straight weeks. Suddenly, though, the light appeared and we had an alternate… Continue Reading “May 2025 Gaming”
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”
Friday Night Shots – How Important is Art?
Has it been five weeks yet? No, it hasn’t! Welcome back to the bar, only a week later. You must have seen the lights on in the window, or maybe the fire that’s in the corner. We should probably put that out. Anyway, it’s… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – How Important is Art?”
New to Me – April 2025
While April wasn’t a really full month of games, it was surprisingly full of new to me games! Six new to me games out of the fourteen I played is actually a really good ratio. I love it when months come together like that.… Continue Reading “New to Me – April 2025”
April 2025 Gaming
As expected after last month’s post, where March had a huge number of games because of a convention, April came back down to earth with a much fewer amount of games. However, it was much better than February! Which means it was a good… Continue Reading “April 2025 Gaming”
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”
