"Some memories flooding back after looking at these photos. I auctioned off this game for FAB BULGE which plays somewhat similarly as a area movement game but faster. This is a good game, however!"

Board Wargames ongoing online................

Just a few screenshots from several (ie too many !) Vassal (and one Cyberboard) PBEM games I have going at present.Vassal has really helped rejuvenate my interest in Board Wargames however to the detriment of my figure painting and bank balance !!This is Paths Of Glory (Cyberboard version) with Western Front situation in 1915 with Germans mounting an assault on my British…See More

More Combat Commander

Played three more scenarios from Combat Commander last night this time three from the Mediterranean supplement.First was Fallschirmjager versus New Zealanders near Maleme airfield Crete.This one saw NZ triumphant as I was able to get sufficient units off-board (double victory points) to build a good lead when sudden death kicked in.Second scenario was set in Poland in 1939…See More
