Hey guys, I'm working on a strategic game on the American Revolution.
Can anyone recommend where I can get a .jpg file or .png of a blank hex grid? Any suggestions appreciated.Hex

Acquistato un paio di settimane fà, Skies above the Reich, della GMT, mi ha assolutamente preso!!

Veramente un ottimo solitario sui combattimenti aerei della WWII che videro coinvolti B-17 e caccia tedeschi Bf109.Un must!

A breve, una recensione su www.asgs.sm

A recent "game club pizza night" I hosted for my high school group found these two slugging it out, playing an old AH copy of Napoleon. By the end of the game there were a dozen other students surrounding the table witnessing the game's conclusion. I'm not saying that the "graying of the hobby" isn't a problem, but perhaps there's a bit of hope.…

Ieri sera, seconda sessione dedicata al titolo Aegean strike - Victory Games; titolo datato ma sempre una chicca per ogni grognards!

Sono riuscito a piazzarlo grazie all'amico Luigi F., che ama come me le simulazioni dedicate agli anni '80, Nato vs Patto di Varsavia.

La simulazione è complessa; complessa specie nella sequenza di gioco che obbliga, perlomeno affrontando il gioco per la prima volta, a continue letture delle varie parti del regolamento.

Difficile capire, al…

Ciao a tutti.

Questa è una prova del blog post.

Pubblicherò partite in solitario e/o con avversari giocate nella mia "war room".

Despite the old counters, La Bataille d'Albuera has the potential to serve as a good introduction to the La Bataille series.

Here's the full video of my recent playthrough:

It took my about 4-weeks of regular play, dedicating roughly 1-2 hours each night [with a few missed nights], but I finally completed La Bataille de Mont Saint Jean [Battle of Waterloo], using the Marie Louise Rules, and the compiled reports, totalling just over three hours, are now up here:

I'll be among the dozen or so gamers running Command and Colors games at this year's Pacificon in Santa Clara, CA.  I'll kick it off with the traditional C&C:N game at 4:00 on Friday using 15mm miniatures and Kallistra Terrain, then Saturday at 1:00 it's C&C:A (using scenarios published in France's Vae Victis) and Sunday I'll be helping with the C&C: Great War.  Hope to see you there...

I'm currently in Raleigh NC at my mom's house, visiting for another few days.  Last week, I had the privilege of being interviewed by Brant Guillory for his GrogCast podcast on his GrogHeads site, covering disparate topics including my game design work, game development, and how it all overlaps with my college-level teaching.  This was all conducted in the gaming area of…

I've spent the past few days reading the exclusive rules; punching, clipping and sorting the counters; and finally, setting up the game.

Now it's time to get started at Clash of Arm's La Bataille de Mont Saint Jean which combines their La Bataille des Quatre Bras and La Bataille de Ligny. I need to spend some time figuring out…

Over the past few weeks, I enjoyed three opportunities to watch small groups of people who were new to board wargaming play Brandywine, a game from the Pub Battles series.

The first of these took place in a workshop designed to improve the teaching skills of US Marines assigned as instructors.  The other two were meetings of the…
