Dusty But Trusty: Deer Hunter 2005
To qualify for a Dusty But Trusty article, a game must be old enough to vote in Nicaragua, buy tobacco in Djibouti, and make the beast with two backs in Nepal. More importantly, it must be demonstrably super, smashing, great, ace, wizard, bonzer, the knees of the bee, the testicles of the dog, and the whiskers and pyjamas of the cat. You don’t need rose-tinted pince-nez or a cutting-edge pixel pump to enjoy 24 karat golden oldies like… Deer Hunter 2005.

The Fight for Faire Bissone (A communal Combat Mission experiment)
In the past I’ve asked Cornerites and Flareopaths to choreograph CM scraps set in France, Germany, Poland, Italy, the Netherlands, the former Soviet Union, North Africa, and the Middle East. Something I’ve never done though, is supervised a game inspired by a historical engagement, and shared a room with order issuers. Reader TV-PressPass is eight turns into just such an experiment.
