Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2024 Edition (#10 – 1)

It’s been a long journey getting to this top 10. Not so much in weeks, as these posts have appeared for 5 weeks just like the previous Top 25 did (or they should have, but I’d forgotten that I took a much too long… Continue Reading “Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2024 Edition (#10 – 1)”

Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 69 – Compagnie Scamaroni II

Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2024 Edition (#40-31)

Two weeks and two entries into this list. Maybe I’ll be able to actually do this weekly, unlike in 2022! It was interesting doing a Top 50 rather than a Top 25. Some games have fallen enough that they wouldn’t even be listed if… Continue Reading “Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2024 Edition (#40-31)”

Combat Commander After Action Report Supplemental No. 3 – Scenario #42 – Rumanian Defiance

To end the year (other than tomorrow’s Friday Night Shots post and maybe something for Saturday/Sunday, I don’t know yet), I thought I’d write up one of this year’s most fascinating Combat Commander games I’ve had that wasn’t actually part of the monthly ladder.… Continue Reading “Combat Commander After Action Report Supplemental No. 3 – Scenario #42 – Rumanian Defiance”

The Last Hundred Yards – Russian Front – Storage Solution With Rails on Board

There’s just something about the simplicity of the plastic tray solutions provided by Rails on Board/Cube4Me. Something that’s really attractive. I think it’s the ability to nest trays together so you only need one lid, as long as the counters you are storing in… Continue Reading “The Last Hundred Yards – Russian Front – Storage Solution With Rails on Board”

Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 55 – Graveyard of the North Shores
