Skyteam... possibly one of the best games I've played in a long-time.
Careful strategising and dice placement, tactics, and picking up on non-verbal cues... plays to none of my skills!!!

Jumping on the AI animating miniatures bandwagon, which seems to popping up on every FB page at the minute... good or bad, or just a bit annoying??

AI... good or bloody annoying?
Of course the answer is probably both! If you've been on any wargaming related FB pages recently you can't miss the flurry of posts showing...

All done for another year... money all spent (very modestly). Lots of small-ish games and fewer of the big companies. Great to see a really diverse audience... very different to my 1st Salute back in the 80s!

On this day in 1919 the Battle of George Square began in Glasgow with tanks and infantry deployed in the city. There's my grampa... he's the one in the bunnet!

Finally acquired a copy of Ice War, the old Metagaming Micro Game. Been after a copy for years. Bit far fetched... I mean, the USA and Europe fighting over territory in the Arctic? That would never happen...

A bargain at Waterstones. I explained the box was damaged & the member of staff said they could maybe do a 10% discount. When he actually he saw it he obviously thought no one in their right mind is going to buy this (except the idiot standing in front of him!) and knocked 50% off! Great game.
