By now some of you may have seen, or heard about the laser cutter VPG have acquired.

Whilst a couple of goof balls running the laser cutter is one thing. Seeing this:

Is another!  The easy of punch, the quality of the corners and the thickness of counters is pun intended a "game changer".

Rather than labor the…

I just completed the playthrough of the first Scenario in 2nd Fleet. Pitting a pair of Soviet missile ships against NATO's STANAVFORLANT and an amphibious group, I played via Vassal.

As I was writing the AAR, I was clicking furiously through the Vassal logfiles. Thinking it was a pretty kool animation, I produced the video below. I hope you enjoy it!

(It might be better to view it directly on YouTube for HD quality)

First play was great, looking forward to another round of Dominant Species

Had to oppotunity to play Dominant Species for the first time last night. Joel, Kris, and Dave came over with Joel brining the game and handling the instruction for us noobs. One of the few times all of us have been able to play together outside of our usual haunt over at

Below is a photo of the final disposition of the units in the immediate vicinity of Omaha.  I'm sure I broke several rules or at least the intent of some of them, even during the structured landing phase.  Please bear with me.  

Phase 1.  All units except the DD tanks make it to shore.  Thank goodness for drift, or several infantry companies would not have made it.  I had two DD tank units scheduled to come ashore during Phase 1, but none of them did.  Yikes!  During the…

In this audio report Mark feeds back on how he has found the experience of playing game: weather, intercepting, ground resources, and lack of fuel. He also muses on possible cross-over of pieces. …

I'm hoping this will be better than the last disaster from ATO from Bergs MoI series. - Suliman .....At least the art and the counters are functional.

This battle is somewhat seminal in that it showed (hopefully I play well) that the Mongols can be thwarted by heavy troops and discipline. Add a dash of very favorable terrain and Berg is your…

I'm a little pissed off with OCS Burma at the moment.



I've been playing two games of the U-Go scenario simultaneously, one game (as the Japanese) slightly ahead of the other (as the Allies). The Japanese rarely have numerical advantage, but they have an AR advantage. They slip through the mountains and put the Allies in difficult defensive positions, but ultimately at some stage they need to attack the allies in order to 'press through' their lines (up to this point they can forage…
