Grand Death Auto

Five groups of survivors.

One zombie-infested city.

Who will live… and who will die?

(Really, we do play boardgames too--but the miniature games are so much more…

A few years ago I decided to collect a copy of every game mentioned in Berg's "Basic Library" of wargames as it appeared in S&T/SPI's book: Wargame Design. I was lucky this summer to find a copies of HS's Manassas, GDW's Crimea, and GS/R's The Battle of Britain without breaking the bank. I also snagged some inexpensive copies of GDW's 120 games, Choasium's Raiders and Traders, and AH Civilization (with the expansion card set).

Now I have my sights on a copy of La Bataille de la…

Field Of Glory Rennaisance game

Game using FOGR today at Stephens as he wanted to use his freshly painted Danish army.  The army is from circa 1670+ so I have nothing properly contemporary but fielded a Late German Thirty Years War army from around 1640-48.

Great game as always with my army forced to try to get to grips with…

I bought The Crusades 3W from someone on ebay, and it arrived today. But what also arrived in the package was 1815 The Waterloo Campaign.

When I opened up the box of The Crusades, I then found an additional game - Lille, The Classic Vauban Siege 1708.…

I got the word that Donald Featherstone passed away last night.... He was, without a doubt, the father of modern miniature (historical) wargaming.  Starting with his book: War Games (1962), Featherstone (in the UK) was almost single-highhandedly responsible for the growth of the hobby with his now famous newsletter and numerous books. So well-regarded was his written work that at one point Games Workshop required their game designers to study Featherstone's book Skirmish…

Well #Panzer ended up being fun. Only the basic game so far. First scenario. In one turn I took out 3 Panzer IV's and my for once superior die rolling really put a hurting on +…

King Philip's War & Tide at Sunrise (MMP) - any opinions on these two games?

I bought KPW from some house clearance ebayer, but when it arrive it also had TaS and Waterloo20 (VPG) inside it. TaS had half the counters missing but I was able to print off the missing ones, but I am getting close to picking up these two games to play and was after some opinions about them - good or bad.

Cheers guys
