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…

V is for Very well received Fulcrum. It’s not often a new DCS flyable gets a reception as warm as the one the new MiG-29A has received. Perusing the forums, praise of the flight model and framerate impact is particularly…
Q is for Quick trade card. The collectible shown below was disgorged by a coin-operated railway station weighing machine some time in the 1950s. Small compared to most cigarette and tea cards, the 24 cards in the British Automatic Company’s…
L is for Lacking linesmen. Football Referee Simulator almost earned itself a Police Week article. Until Referee Simulator and Football Referee Simulator 26 arrive, Vladimir Pilashkun’s 2D effort has the ref sim genre pretty much to itself. Because you don’t…
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…

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).
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…
G is for Great War game = great wargame? I remember a time when you could count WWI PC wargames on the fingers of one hand and it was rare for a year to pass without a new WWI flight…
A is for Alphabetised game news. There’s nothing especially original about the way I gather game news. Like other reporters, every so often I set cage traps baited with chunks of old telephone directory or stale urinal cake in likely…
