A is for Alphabetised wargame, sim, and site news. Now and again, assuming I can persuade Austerity’s Blackburn Cirrus Bombardier engine to perform the miracle of internal combustion, I spend a few days scouring Simulatia and Grognardia for stories with the potential to fascinate, startle, cheer, dismay or amuse. Those stories are then dehydrated, alphabetised and delivered, via articles like this one, to people who’ve got better things to do than plough through puff and platitudes.
This week’s handmade co-op puzzle won’t defox itself. If you’re a dab hand at quizzes, lateral thinking, and search engine sleuthing, why not help out.
Using the following clues (the map above is purely decorative) in combination with Street View, work out my location.

If there’s a more fortunate variety of vehicle simulationist than the rail simmer, I’m unaware of them. While the likes of the truck, bus, boat, and airliner enthusiast might, if they’re lucky, have a couple of strong, singular, supported titles to choose from, the iron horse fan has, by my calculations, at least six. Up until the end of last year, I’d have classified three of that half-dozen – Derail Valley, Diesel Railcar Simulator, and Train Simulator Classic – as truly indispensable. Now Early Access Railroader has arrived, I’m tempted to say there are four ‘essential’ commercial rail sims.

Every Friday at 1300 hours, Tally-Ho Corner’s cleverest clogs come together to solve a ‘foxer’ handcrafted by my sadistic chum and colleague, Roman. All are welcome to participate.
Want to turn a green lane into a brown lane, tow a Gulaschkanone across a snowy field, or roam the Western Desert trashing Axis airfields? Get a 4×4. Want quick introductions to games of interest to realism relishers and old fogies? Read a 3×3. Prior to penning one of these articles I’ll play three tempting titles for at least three hours each. While it would be cavalier to call the reports that result from such brief auditions ‘reviews’, it’s conceivable they might lead to more prolonged playtests, and prompt or prevent the odd purchase.
