A nice surprise when I got home today – Operations Magazine Special Issue #2 arrived, carrying with it “Beyond the Beaches” – an ASL Starter Kit bonus pack with a new board and 3 scenarios. OMSI2 itself contained some new PanzerBlitz scenarios along with the IGS game “Bravery in the Sand’ which has a very nice review on BGG. I need to play some of … Continue reading New bits and pieces

Another enjoyable weekend that was really somewhat overbusy – like most of my other weekends recently. I wasn’t able to do anything with the “Weekend in the Realms” D&D event. I managed to completely forget it was on, and I was busy with my other gaming anyway. I think Mick may have run a session this afternoon, but perhaps not. Thursday night was BattleTech night, … Continue reading Castle, Castle and Firsts
For those who are interested, my moderately inaccurate session report of our last Star Wars session is now up on RPG Geek. We’re on to the penultimate adventure of the Dawn of Defiance! 🙂 Continue reading Seeking Master Denia
Fantasy Flight games call their big game boxes “Coffins”, and I’ve accumulated a few of them over the past few years: World of Warcraft, Starcraft, Twilight Imperium and Descent. I’m not playing enough of them. My new Descent dice (four new sets) arrived today, which should speed up our play of Descent greatly, and that’s a game I will be able to find players for … Continue reading Getting in the mood for some Coffin Games
I’ve spent the morning writing a few session reports covering the past couple of days of boardgaming. It’s been a fun weekend. For once, I’m not out on a Sunday, so I’m enjoying the relaxation. Yesterday, Randy, Josh, Rich and I gathered at Randy’s place for a few boardgames. The major new game we played was Last Train to Wensleydale, a game about shipping cheese … Continue reading A few session reports
I wasn’t able to play BattleLore last night, but I did manage to play both Space Hulk and Advanced Squad Leader. Space Hulk was a lot of fun. Randy and I were playing the second mission in the set, which requires the Space Marines to hold down two access points that the Genestealers are getting into the area. I sent three marines in one direction … Continue reading Space Hulk, Advanced Squad Leader
This one’s for Martin and Bradford: Yes, the Car Wars Compendium is finally available again, as a us$15 PDF from Steve Jackson Games. It actually came out a fortnight ago, but I don’t normally pay that much attention to SJG as most of their games I don’t play. (I made an exception for Revolution!, a recent boardgame, but that’s because it arrived in Good Games Ballarat … Continue reading Car Wars Compendium – PDF
Well, I now have it: The Gathering Storm, book 12 of the Wheel of Time, and the third-last volume in the tale. The book was partly written by Robert Jordan, and completed by Brandon Sanderson. Over (hopefully) the next two years, the remainder of the tale will be released and we will finally have the Wheel of Time in its entirety. It’s been a long … Continue reading The Gathering Storm – The Wheel of Time
