The News Stand: 17/07/2026

You can tell it’s summer as this week’s post is missing many of the big names (who I assume are taking a well-needed break). However, there are still plenty of exciting things to talk about, with releases, previews and more! Read on for all the details!

It’s a little late (blame a last-minute date with Dagger Directive’s OICW), but this week’s edition of The News Stand is short and sweet. Luckily, short doesn’t mean lacking in content – and this week we have releases, previews and more.
All Systems Nominal: Alpha Strike

23/01/2026

It has been a while since we got the big stompy boys out and put them on the table. In fact, over two years (and fast approaching three), something which probably comes down to my lack of mechs, a wargaming calendar filled with other games and, if I’ll admit, my own issues with BattleTech. While I can appreciate the fact that Battletech has barely changed since the 1980s and I do love the sensation of ticking the boxes on a Flechs sheet until the DESTROYED marker pops up, I think that BattleTech is still maybe a little bit too crunchy…

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.
