Volkssturm militiamen biding their time in camouflaged foxholes close to the rail bridge espy an irresistible target early in Turn 7. Unfortunately for Sergeant Venison, the target in question is him and his bank-traversing half-team.
G is for Games for a future Police Week? If there’s a Police Week in 2026, there’s a good chance the following three titles will – assuming they’re finished – figure in it. Bharat Police looks from a distance a…
A is for Alphabetised game news. Roman believes arranging game news alphabetically is “pointless” and “stupid” and THC should cease doing it forthwith. While I agree with him in principle, I feel a fifthwith or sixthwith cessation would be more…
I’ve written hundreds of reviews, previews, and retrospectives during my twenty-odd years as a games inspector. As many of these appeared in the British version of PC Gamer magazine and nowhere else, now and again something from my archive may…
The Brits attempt to cross the Bogen in Turn 6. Well, five of them do. Not long after Sergeant Venison’s half squad commences a daring dash across the rail bridge, they start taking fire from their ten o’clock. A party…
On Tuesday night myself and a couple of friends Carcassonned for the first time. It was an interesting experience. Like many beginners we found farmers a tad confusing initially and soon realised that playing on a smallish table top wasn’t…

Yet to issue an order in this year’s play-by-comment Combat Mission game? Now would be a great time to get your feet wet. In the final moments of this minute-long turn, the Comment Commanders’ force doubles in size. All of…
U is for Ukrainian acquisitions. This Ukrainian games festival still has a couple of days left to run, and is the reason my Steam library now includes Field Hospital (£2.60), Dark Grim Mariupolis (£1), and Titan Chaser (£1).
First blood to the bouncers! Captain Dale’s hurty half-dozen surprise a German sniper team halfway through the turn then find themselves hurling lead and stick grenades up one of Schloss Nottingheim’s ornately carved staircases.
Q is for Quick Topps card. Unlike many of the trade cards that appear in this slot, I’ve probably owned this 1978 Superman card from new. I say ‘probably’ because there’s a chance it was actually pulled from its flimsy…
L is for Liftoff: Micro Drones leaves Early Access. Lugus marked 1.00 by equipping their moreish tiny whoop sim with a track builder, two new maps, and an extra flyable. Just about the only significant things this £16 delight lacks…
