Bolt Action
Recently, I have been inspired to branch out into new gaming, because of course I have nothing but free time and lots of disposable income (neither accurate). I have always been curious about the Bolt Action tabletop wargame, which as I understand has been going strong for many years. At this point, at the end…

Legion double-feature
After a bit of a pause due to scheduling conflicts and illnesses, we are back with multiple Star Wars Legion episodes. Although there is no new release this week, we recorded Battle Report 079 on Wednesday, and episode 080 will be this evening. Once processed, that should set us up well to hopefully get back…

Star Wars
During this extended transition, I have continued to be active collecting and preparing for my various Star Wars games, to include Legion, Armada, and X-Wing.

Quest 9 – The Hellhole
Planning another round of Zombicide: Black Plague this Sunday, with an attempt at Quest 9 (The Hellhole) with the group. This is another hard mission (second to the last), with a mechanics twist that should prove a bit challenging. Most of the board is relatively straight forward, but there is a timer and timing mechanism…
