    With my local group, I have started a series of games on Wednesday, which I am titling as Warfare Wednesdays. These are intended to be exclusively wargames – Legion, Armada, X-Wing, or similar games, able to be played with a small group and not take up multiple sessions. Last week, we played a 400 pt…

    Finally starting on the next stage of the grand gaming table. As published previously, my intent has been to create a large gaming surface, for our oversize group. We have the table itself, which itself is rather massive, but still a bit cramped for the players. The first step was to create a virtual table…

    With the recent Labor Day holiday in the US, I had the chance to revisit a favorite game with my son and play some more Armada. In truth, it was originally planned to be a game or two of X-Wing 2, but during assembly we discovered that several of the key pieces have gone missing.…

    Following on my acquisition of the Twilight Imperium mat, I opted to add a new Star Wars: Armada mat, using the same grippiness. This will hopefully minimize the shifting of pieces during the game, and provides an alternative graphic. The mat was purchased thru Break From Reality Games in Seattle, and (unlike the prior one)…

    As mentioned, one of my next big projects is a Golarian world map, designed and printed in Hexton Hills 3d terrain tiles. First stage is a proof of concept Settlers of Catan board, before I dive into the much larger project of a full regional or world map. One of the excuses I have had…

    With the ship of the line project nearing completion, I am turning my attention to the next big assembly, utilizing my collection of Hexton Hills terrain tiles. These are 3d printed designs for terrain, intended for use in a large scale campaign map. It is a kickstarter I participated in some time ago, but have…

    With the start of the school year, and associated Football and Marching Band commitments, we are altering our existing gaming schedule. The Warhammer RPG campaign is the unfortunate casualty, this campaign was going strong, but is being mothballed for the time being due to no room in the schedule. After November, when the schedule settles,…

    After many weeks of planning, we finally held our big summer Twilight Imperium game session – a two day boardgame bonanza. Twilight Imperium (TI4) is something I have had on my shelf for a couple of years, but had only had the opportunity to play once, and then only partially. I had always wanted to…
