Red Alert - Commands and Colors "in space" - is a fun game scaled at the "fleet action" level. It is not dog-fighting in space. The game works at the fleet level; I envision it more like a computer display showing the relative positioning o…
I know I said the next post would be about spaceships but we're going back to the French and Indian War instead. I got invited to play with a new (to me, not to the area) group of players who were play-testing a canoe race scenario for an u…
Last weekend Wiley Games hosted its annual summer Battles & Brews. Four games were played, and for a change I played in all four of them! No games outside this year; it was too damned hot. The first game was "Tiny Triremes." We were play-te…
Two more pieces of Woods Terrain completed. One is another geomorphic square and the other is a largish piece of area terrain designed to be placed on top of forest floor squares. Again, the photo above provides some scale and context and t…

While the outside game was going on - and it was WAY hot outside - I set up for Armoured Storm, which was a much easier and faster prospect than prepping for one of my F&IW games! We played a simple meeting encounter scenario with 3 players…
I planned to put on a F&IW game at Battles & Brews this weekend and completed the bases on these Rangers a couple days ago to premiere them at said game. These are "repaints" - check them out here in the Wayback Machine. Then I hurt my hand…
