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”

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”

September 2023 Gaming
As 2023 steamrolls ahead, another month of gaming is complete! September actually was a slight step back from August, even though I didn’t miss any game days! However, there were fewer days at work where we had lunch free to play. In addition to… Continue Reading “September 2023 Gaming”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario L – Slopes of Hell
Talk about taking it right to the end! We weren’t able to play our game until the last week of September, and then the VASSAL server went down and we didn’t finish the game until Friday, September 29th. But finish we did, and it… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario L – Slopes of Hell”
