My last Advanced Squad Leader game with Patch finished up very quickly. So quickly, in fact, that I’m not going to bother with the normal detailed maps. There’s not a lot to show anyway. Imagine a featureless 33×30 hex plain,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
My latest ASL defeat by Patch was just about finished up, so we decided to do another round of Commands & Colors: Ancients tonight. This time was the Battle of Sepeia, a very strange Expansion #6 battle between the Spartans[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
