After my too-close win in Hatten, Patch and I went to our between-games round of Commands & Colors: Ancients. Up this time was the Battle of Picenum from Expansion #2. There’s a line of hills down the center, and the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Mark has gotten himself a fair chunk of the Wing Leader titles over the last couple of GMT sales, and we recently got to trying it out. Certainly, there are interesting ideas going on with the system. First off, is[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
