Combat Geometry: Back To The Table

26/01/2025

It’s not every day that you receive a mysterious message from the Creative Regular Opponent to come north and face him on the tabletop, with the promise of food provided. It’s also not every day that a storm is strong enough to knock Scotland into having a red weather warning and my target of the mysterious land of North Yorkshire is suddenly experiencing 65MPH+ gusts. After a little back and forth (and a slight delay due to work), we eventually decided it was safe enough and I thundered up the A1. While partaking in a platter of cold meats, cheese…

New year, new edition of the News Stand. With a brand new year, we’re going to change a few things up. Starting with the release day of this very series. Although this week’s post was released late due to technical issues (my keyboard died and I’m not typing this up on a laptop or my phone), The News Stand will now be coming out on Tuesday evening – the reason for this change is that Additionally, the News Stand will be focusing entirely on Ultramodern topics, with some leeway allowed for elements that offer something for the Ultramodern Gamer (such…
Combat Geometry: 2025 Kick-Off

09/01/2025

Things are a little bit quiet on the Old World front it seems. As the New Year has rolled in, it is time to talk about the game of giant moving rectangles and frantically ranking up figures. Before I go over our last game day, I should probably talk about the force I took out with me.
