Bounce the Bogen (THC’s latest play-by-comment Combat Mission game begins today)
It’s early April 1945 and, a week or so after ‘bouncing the Rhine’, the Western Allies reach another watery obstacle, the Bogen river. At Mannsfeld a few gung ho US AFVs manage to barrel across the bridge before it is…
Friday Foxer #238
Every Friday, Tally-Ho Corner’s cleverest clogs come together to solve a ‘foxer’ handcrafted by my sadistic chum and colleague, Roman. A complete ‘defoxing’ sometimes takes several days and usually involves the little grey cells of many readers. All are welcome…
2025’s communal Combat Mission game begins on Friday. Probably.

World War II Armored Recon reconnoitered
Forty plus years of WW2 tactical wargaming leaves an indelible mark on a person. Like most long-in-the-tooth desktop generals, I’m now so used to parsing battlefields, assessing weaponry, and weighing up odds, the process is almost instinctive. StuG there…. dead…
Teardown’s bewitching blazes
Like a bone-white ember quietly ticking amongst the feathery ash of a burned-down bonfire, Firefighting Week still has some life left in it. Yesterday, a Cornerite tip-off (Thanks, phuzz!) led me to try blaze battling in Teardown, a voxel-based demolition…
