Twelve rapt hours of Early Access Undaunted: Normandy have failed to dull my appetite for this moreish if uncomely board game port, or alter, in any meaningful way, my early positive feelings towards its silicon foe. However, there are thoughts…
Aged seven, Leonid Ivanovich Arkhipov fell from a speeding express train near Dnipropetrovsk. Three hours after the accident he was found unconscious but otherwise unhurt laying between the rails of the adjacent track. During his time on the sleepers, ten…
Bookmark’s Early Access version of award-winning board/card wargame Undaunted Normandy hits Steam later today. I’ve spent four hours in its company thus far and experienced these emotions while playing it: confusion, excitement, admiration, satisfaction, and disappointment.
As I’ve been talking about Wars Across the World’s moreishness, fascinating themes, and disappointing AI for over six years, you’d think I wouldn’t have waited until July, 2023 to try multiplayer for the first time. For the past week myself…
Two turns executed, two AFVs exterminated… this year’s play-by-comment CM game is proving extremely deadly. Can we get through sixty seconds of tank-on-tank action without a slaying? Let’s find out.
Promising! My first hour with Death to Spies: Moment of Truth suggests the 88p I lavished on it earlier today was money well spent. Included in Steam’s ongoing (July 24th to 31st) Stealth Fest, Haggard’s 2009 WW2 sneak-em-up feels like…

All three of the AP rounds that shrug off a brassy overcoat during this minute of play-by-comment Combat Mission: Red Thunder, hit their intended target, but only one earns a gun barrel kill ring. Click the orange rectangle below to…
Calling the latest freebie from Wargame Design Studio a demo does it a serious disservice. None of turnless Spanish-American War’s engagements are included in other Naval Campaigns titles, and show me another demo that lets you play, from start to…
Engine roar bounces between ravaged building facades. Battered exhausts cough inky ectoplasm into frigid air. Caterpillar tracks claw at brown snow and frozen rubble… Tally-Ho Corner’s first PvP play-by-comment Combat Mission scrap is underway at last!
Had Italia 1944 been released forty years earlier, the daily post-school battles for control of the Stone family’s TV set would have been truly horrendous. Alessandro Grussu’s 2021 ZX Spectrum RPG has almost everything preteen Tim looked for in a…
All eight AFVs in Tally-Ho Corner’s first PvP play-by-comment Combat Mission game now have volunteer commanders and these commanders have randomly selected their initial positions. By chance most of the Soviet machines start on the eastern side of the Vistula…
