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!

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)”

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)”
