Dusty But Trusty: 101 – The Airborne Invasion of Normandy
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,…
Reentry Reflections
Sorry, Nuclear War Simulator and Hydrofoil Generation, this was meant to be a 3×3. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of trying Reentry, an engrossing Early Access sim that does for pre-Space Shuttle NASA spacecraft what DCS World does for fast…
