I am calling it quits for this blog.

To those who read what I write. Thank you for sticking with me even as my posts have gotten father and farther apart. I thought my life was going to get slower as I got older, but that just isn't the case. There are a bunch of reasons for ending my blog, but the biggest …

SASL Campaign. Mission- Cautious Advance. June ’41. 1.1

After the first two turns, I felt like I was in a good spot. My company was split into two groups. The first was to move on board and secure the first VPO location. The second was to move up the middle, take the multi-level building in the center of the map and turn right …

      I normally post a nice AAR of my games after playing them, complete with pictures and whiny commentary.  For a recent ASL scenario I played however, I won't be making much fuss about it. The reason is simple:  AP34 Bocage Blockage went well enough, hell I almost pulled out a win.  Steve …

BRV 6 Opera of Death

  Berlin.  I don't know what it is about this part of the WWII conflict that mesmerizes me.  I love reading about it, writing about it, and gaming it.  For whatever reason, the history of the battle for this city at the end of the war compels me to pay attention to it. Adam Lunney …
