A Gaming Life
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”
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”
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”
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”

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”
What’s this? Two months in a row where I actually do my Combat Commander ladder game report early? That’s unheard of! There must be something in the water. It’s time for another tale from the ladder! The ladder is a Combat Commander monthly tournament… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario LoM #12 – Red Sector A”
