A2C
A is for American Revolutionary War released. The bibliography for the game I’m working on, currently consists of four tomes. I’ll need to pull my socks up if I wish to out-swank ARW’s ‘recommended reading’ list. Mike Cox, the lead…

Friday Foxer #263
Today’s bijou brainteaser is both accidental and personal. Beyond the break is a century-old Box Brownie snap of one of my great aunts. Can you help me identify both the photo’s location and date?
Older, Wiser, Warier: Are PC wargames getting veterancy right?
As I’ve done it hundreds of times, you’ve probably done it hundreds of times too. You’re embroiled in a virtual battle and, faced by a particularly stiff challenge or tough adversary, find yourself scouring your force for ‘old hands’ –…
Bounce the Bogen: Postscript
For thirteen of the Allied soldiers involved in THC’s 2025/26 play-by-comment Combat Mission marathon, there will be no joyful homecoming, no grey hairs or grandchildren. Thirty-four others will carry physical mementos of the Battle of Nottingheim until the day they…

Quick Sherman Commander review
As Sherman Commander releases tomorrow, has had almost no attention on THC, and has done a grand job of enhancing my evenings this week, I reckon it deserves Cornering, sabbatical or no sabbatical.
Bounce the Bogen: Turn 32
When the clock froze at the end of Turn 31, Captain Hood was in deep trouble. Alone, short of ammo, and battling – at close range – a remarkably feisty/deadly two-man platoon HQ, his chances of surviving Turn 32 seemed…
Romanesque release announcement
Missing the Friday Foxers? I’ve got just the thing. The first tangible product of my six-month sabbatical is Romanesque, a puzzle game inspired by the hive foxers that have been confounding Cornerites for years.
