Springback Binder

Recently I managed to trade some games for a complete set of Commands & Colors: Napoleonic games. Seven boxes of blocks, terrain tiles, reference cards and rulebooks. It is quite a lot of gaming goodness and I did manage to get it all organised (a blog post for later) but I wanted to get all... Continue Reading →

So many shinies

Today was a great day as I took possession of a large stack of new games. I did a trade with a local gamer and got quite a few new games including many GMT titles that are out of print at the moment. Manoeuvre Skies above the Reich Commands & Colors: Medieval Commands & Colors:... Continue Reading →

What to play in 2023

The year will soon draw to a close and I have already begun planning on what games I want to play in the New Year. This coming year I hope to get some of my existing games onto the table and also perhaps try out a few new ones. Existing games Last Blitzkrieg I have... Continue Reading →

A wealth of Xmas additions

The tree is nearing the end of its run in the living room and New Year's Day is fast approaching. I was quite lucky this year and got a few new games to add to the collection and also finally pulled together the cash to pick up some used games from a local gamer to... Continue Reading →

Token Silo

I am a hoarder of any sort of plastic box that I can use to store and organize game components. I have Plano tackle boxes, Stanley organizers and any number of random boxes that I have used to store counters, tokens, dice or whatever parts my games require. My partner often jokes that that my... Continue Reading →

I recently picked up a second-hand copy of the Second Edition of the game and tried it out with a few solo games to help learn the rules. The game comes with ten scenarios (the first edition had eight) and has battles such as Bosworth, White... Continue Reading →

Horse & Musket: Dawn of an era

I have, for some time, been interested in playing Horse & Musket: Dawn of an era from Hollandspiele. It is the first game in a series that allow you to play battles from across the world and charts the progress in infantry and cavalry tactics from 1683 to the end of the US Civil War....

Space Infantry with Obsidian

So at this point it is safe to say that I have become a bit obsessed with using Obsidian. It is writing, programming and organizing all in one app. It is like it was made for a creative person with ADHD. I am getting ready to get back to playing my Space Infantry Resurgence campaign...

Battalion Combat Series

As you may know I have been looking for a divisional level, operational scale wargame for a few weeks. There are some very good ones on the market, and I am still tempted by Stalingrad '42 from GMT Games, but I have settled on the Battalion Combat Series produced by The Gamers and published by...
