08/01/2026

Welcome to 2026! The New Year was brought in with a new tradition (a momentary pause from hanging out on Discord with my friends) and now I’m back to work, both at the day job and on the hobby table. So let’s talk about the plans for that hobby table. Also, by happy coincidence, this post is coming out on my birthday! Looking Back How did 2025 go? Well, the good news was that I managed to be pretty consistent with getting the blog’s main post, “The News Stand”, out each week. I hit 100 editions of the post and,…
CoC’ing It Up – A Return To France with Version 2

03/01/2026

So I have a slight embarrassing confession to make – before last weekend, I hadn’t actually managed to get Chain of Command 2 (released in May last year) onto the board to play despite the fact I was genuinely excited for. The reason for this is pretty simple – last year was a poor one for getting games on the table, especially games that didn’t have “Necromunda” or “Old World” in the name. However, with the Christmas season upon us, and a hankering for some WW2 action amongst our group, we decided to get a game in. As this was…
SPOTREP – Winter 2025 Is Out!

31/12/2025

Just a little update note – the first edition of SPOTREP (my series of articles looking at the current state of the Ultramodern wargaming space) is now out. It’s taken me way too long to get my ideas together and written down (the original post was planned to be released in October) but I’ve finally managed to make a good follow up to the original post back in 2022. Due to the amount of work needed and the time taken, SPOTREP posts (both the Quarterly Update and the Company Profiles that will be coming soon) will be available for the…

The News Stand: 18/11/2025

18/11/2025

New week, new edition of The News Stand. I managed to peel myself away from rounds of Breakthrough in Battlefield 6 to grab this week’s collection of previews, Kickstarter updates and more from all corners of the Ultramodern Wargaming World. Read on for more!
The News Stand: 11/11/2025

11/11/2025

Today is Remembrance Day (or Veterans’ Day, depending on whereabouts you are). It can feel strange writing about wargaming on such a day, but that doesn’t stop the fact that wargaming is one of the ways to understand the sacrifices of the past. This week’s edition of the News Stand covers a wide variety of the usual folks, with previews, releases and more.
