Often in WWII games you want some number of folks to have panzerfausts. It is convenient to use small markers to denote which figures are carrying them so that when they are fired you can remove them from the game. Also, it is helpful to have markers to show that machine-guns are set up and […]

In previous posts I reported on my progress painting up the Crooked Dice figures from a large order that Greg and I submitted some months back. Despite an eye exam yesterday that left me dilated and blurry, I managed to knock out the last of the Crooked Dice figures I had on hand. Now Greg […]

Any readers of this blog will know that I have been working on a set of WWII skirmish rueles for over two years. I ran another game this weekend to test out the rules. I had intended to test out a new system for morale, but after just a few turns it was clear that […]

A couple weeks ago, I posted a quick discussion about how MG Gavin was so impressed with the panzerfaust that the 82nd collected up truckloads of them in Sicily.

We used GASLIGHT with the free Zombies by GASLIGHT supplement. The theater that Bill built for the game even had Dawn of the Dead playing on the screen. […]

Dave (far left) and Duncan (far right) teamed up again to host the Battle of Vittoria using the Fate of Battle rules. They tweaked the scenario a bit from Cold Wars, and by all accounts the changes made the scenario more interesting for the players. I was busy running my own game at the time, […]

Noah Guibalt, one of the HAWKs, ran a popular and well-attended Skirmish Sangin game Saturday afternoon in the HAWKs room at Historicon. The following pictures are in no particular order.

I ran this game twice at Historicon, once for kids and once as a normal convention game. The basic scenario involves a squad (or so) of German Wehrmacht infantry and a US tank crew defending French VIP prisoners in a castle (Schloss Iter) in Austria against Waffen SS troops sent to kill them. This is […]
