Combat Commander After Action Report – Supplemental No. 5 – Tito’s Trick
At the end of December, between Christmas and New Year’s, I was off of work (that’s one of the lucky perks of my job). Seemed like a perfect time to get some extra Combat Commander games in! Ladder Rules Guru Noel graciously agreed to… Continue Reading “Combat Commander After Action Report – Supplemental No. 5 – Tito’s Trick”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 61 – Surrender is Out of the Question!
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!”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 38 – Not One Step Back
It’s that time of the month again! Time for another tale from the Combat Commander ladder, that monthly tournament of one of the best games out there that’s run by the renowned Patrick Pence, he of Patrick’s Tactics & Tutorials fame (and formerly of… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 38 – Not One Step Back”
Friday Night Shots – Top 1000 BGG Games
I know what you’re thinking. Two Friday Night Shots posts in a row? That must mean Dave got the jukebox fixed! It’s amazing what paying your work people can actually do. Maybe that’s why I can’t keep a bartender? Anyway, welcome back! Pull up… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Top 1000 BGG Games”
Friday Night Shots (Saturday Edition) – What Attracts You to a Game?
It’s been a month and the bar’s been closed! More renovations needed (and I’m just lazy, actually), but I’m glad you happened by and could stop in! The jukebox renovations took up most of the month, partially because I kept forgetting to pay the… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots (Saturday Edition) – What Attracts You to a Game?”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario M5 – Blind Man’s Bluff
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! That is not good, and shall not stand! Or maybe it did. I guess you’ll… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario M5 – Blind Man’s Bluff”
September 2024 Gaming
September was a weird month for gaming, mainly because we didn’t play a lot at work because various people were away (or we just were so exhausted due to work stuff that we just wanted to hibernate at lunch). Thus, most (but not all)… Continue Reading “September 2024 Gaming”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario G – Bitter Creek
One of the really cool things about the monthly Combat Commander ladder is meeting new opponents and then trying to wipe the floor with them. The latter part doesn’t happen very often, unfortunately. While Combat Commander: Europe is my favourite, I do enjoy (and… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario G – Bitter Creek”
Friday Night Shots – Thematically Weird Rules
Welcome back to the bar! Apologies for being closed for so long, but we’ve had renovations going on. We were trying to fix that jukebox that kept playing nothing but crappy music. Along with maybe making this a more inviting place for people other… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Thematically Weird Rules”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 28 – No Ingouf Around
Pardon me if you’ve seen this before. Yes, the August scenario for our Combat Commander ladder tournament is a scenario that I’ve already played twice now. I’ve even written up one of them. The other one happened last month, and I didn’t want to… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 28 – No Ingouf Around”
