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

What is this? It’s the first half of the month and I’m already doing my monthly Combat Commander ladder report? Isn’t it usually just squeezing it in on the last day? No! Not this month. Merry Christmas. And welcome to another tale of boardgaming… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 55 – Graveyard of the North Shores”

New to Me – November 2023

With a convention coming in November, I had a feeling that this New to Me games list would get pretty hefty. Little did I know how hefty it would get! This was a big month for new to me games. Even better, many of… Continue Reading “New to Me – November 2023”

November 2023 Gaming

With a convention at the beginning of the month, it was a no-brainer that November would be a bigger gaming month than October had been. However, after working remotely for most of the month (so no lunch-time games, since I’m usually doing stuff around… Continue Reading “November 2023 Gaming”

Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 44 – Stalingrad of the North

Welcome to another tale of warfare and adventure on the Combat Commander ladder, which affords me the opportunity to play one of my favourite games with a bunch of really cool people. The ladder is run by the ineffable Patrick Pence, he of Patrick’s… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 44 – Stalingrad of the North”

Friday Night Shots – Update & Upcoming Games

Hey there! It’s been a while, I know. It seems like you were just in here last week! Take a seat at the bar and take a load off. I’ll get you anything you want. Let me turn down the jukebox. Who put MC… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Update & Upcoming Games”

New to Me – October 2023

October was a great month for new to me games! That’s been a bit unusual lately, so I’m glad that this is back on the upswing. Of course, with every improvement there comes a downside. I played 5 new to me games in October,… Continue Reading “New to Me – October 2023”

Mr. President – Storage Solution From Rails on Boards

Regular readers of this blog know that I’m a huge fan of the plastic, form-fitting counter trays for wargames offered by Rails on Boards (in their Cube4Me shop). I’ve actually put together a few sets for them to sell on their site, but this… Continue Reading “Mr. President – Storage Solution From Rails on Boards”

Review – Twilight Struggle: Red Sea – Conflict in the Horn of Africa

Twilight Struggle is one of those long-standing classic wargames (oops…I don’t want to get into that argument) from GMT Games about the Cold War from 1945 to 1989. It’s long, it’s 2-player, but its gameplay has stood the test of time to make it… Continue Reading “Review – Twilight Struggle: Red Sea – Conflict in the Horn of Africa”
