“This Is Not A Test” Now Available!
Back in 2013 our club had the opportunity to playtest a new post-apocalyptic ruleset under development.

The Dogs & the Dust Homebrew Sci-Fi
Last week Mattias and I huddled up in his apartment to try out The Dogs & the Dust, the homebrew sci-fi game that he is writing. Though it’s still a work-in-progress, Mattias (pictured above) plans to publish the completed game one day in the not-too-distant future. The “alpha” version that we playtested gave a good ...

More Musings on Nuclear Renaissance

Warpath: Battle report and game review
At last week’s club game night, Jon and I had a chance to try out the Warpath ruleset by Mantic Games. We completely forgot a few things (such as modifiers for shooting at units that have moved, etc), but in general we got a pretty good handle on the rules. After the game report, I’ll ... Read more
Review: Tomorrow’s War by Ambush Alley Games
Tomorrow’s War, the new hard sci-fi tabletop wargame from Ambush Alley Games and Osprey Publishing, is something of a hybrid. It’s not a skirmish game where individually armed soldiers move around the battlefield on their own initiative, nor is it a stand-based game like Alien Squad Leader, where the smallest unit is a base of ...
