Review of Wargames Soldiers and Strategy 96
I recently subscribed to Wargames Soldiers and Strategy and I’d like to share my thoughts on my first issue. Many of the articles in WSS are short 2-4 page descriptions of scenarios inspired by historical events. The theme for this issue was raid in the American Civil War. I’ve never studied the civil war much ... Read more
AAR/Review- A Trial Run through Kobolds and Cobblestones
Chris and I recently got together for a game of Kobolds and Cobblestones.

I regularly save his 2 hour Every Other Sunday chats ... Read more

AAR- Checkpoint Bravo: Gaslands Race!
I must say, this Gaslands game is making waves. The initial book printing sold out, and has since been reprinted. Apparently, lots of gamers are excited about souping up their vehicles and bringing their favorite pulp apocalyptic death car movies to life! Well, not real life, in which the people on Chicago highways already seem ... Read more
A Hazardous Wind: Gaslands Impressions
Ah, who else remembers the good ol’ days of snake shaped racing cars that could unleash explosive barrages and hit ramps with enough speed to jump and successfully land hundreds of feet away with the driver’s spine still intact only to live and fight another day? Fine summer afternoons spent with automotive carnage (;D) and ... Read more
