  • The News Stand: 12/03/2024

    Apologies for the timing of the last few weeks of The News Stand – my work has decided that I’m no longer going to be working hybrid and so I’ve lost the Monday lunchtime I would usually use to prepare the weekly post. Plus Helldivers 2 has been taking up my weekend times so I’ve…

  • The News Stand: 04/03/2024

    Well after the disruption of last week, this week’s New Stand is maybe a touch on the light side (probably because there was three fewer days to generate news from). It’s light enough that I’ve left it until late in the day to try and get a few more articles squeezed in! The good news…

  • The News Stand: 28/02/2024

    Two days later than usual, it’s time for a stuffed edition of The News Stand. Some big news this week – the end of the Spectre Patreon, pre-orders for BPRE: Spearhead open up and more! The reason this week’s edition was delayed was that yesterday was my Grandad’s memorial service, having passed away at the…

  • ChargeReal Project 1 – “Fortress In The Sky”

    In 2021, I started developing a fictional world to set my wargames in. After writing up a starter post, detailing some of the Bazi nations and then actually getting a few games in, I took a little break to work on Gunslinger and its real-world but future setting. Well, now I’m back, planning to develop…

    February is half over but the world of Ultramodern gaming doesn’t stop. We have previews and releases galore, with all the usual suspects delivering the latest. Read on for more!

  • AAR: The Shyluz Incident – Trying Out “What An Operator”

    As I mentioned in my last post about Warcry, many of my regular opponents (specifically the Dastardly and the Corporate) play games with me in situations where something easy to setup and hit the table is handy. Starting late at night or trying to get into a lunch break game during a work day requires…

  • The News Stand: 12/02/2024

As always, thanks to the News Fans and other patrons over on the ChargeBlog patreon for buying my time to make this wrap-up each week. If you like these roundups and find…

  • AAR: The Great Swan! A What A Tanker Game

    Last weekend was Vapnartak in York and, as much as I enjoy the show, I mainly use it as an excuse to gather my Regular Opponents together so we can disappear off to the nearby scout hut and take part in one of our game days. In the past we’ve used this place to play…

  • Gunslinger 2030 Announcement

    Hi everyone! As you may have seen, since July last year I’ve been working closely with Anton and Kim at Flytrap Digital and Dan at Desk-Ops on the Gunslinger 2030 range (if you haven’t I have some questions about my engagement numbers). This range has been a fantastic opportunity to get on the other side…

  • The News Stand: 05/02/2024

    The shortest month of the year is here and people are already rushing to give me tons of stuff to look at! Not as many as we have had in previous weeks but still a very good mix of crowd funding, new releases, previews and more! As always, thanks to the News Fans and other…

  • The News Stand: 29/01/2024

  • SITREP: The Regular Opponents Try Warcry

    One major advantage of moving back to Leeds was putting me back in range of my university friends, many of whom have appeared on this blog as what I have jokingly called the Regular Opponents. We have the Creative (the man of big gaming rooms, too much Napoleonics and my 3d printing sensei), we have…

  • Gunslinger Release: January 2024 – Raptor Diagnostics Field Operations Team

    Smoke from the crash site could be seen from a mile away as the two SUVs swerved through Damascus’s early afternoon traffic. While the drivers concentrate on the road, the team’s technician begins downloading briefing packets to the team, sending directly to their heads-up displays in their glasses and handheld tactical units to store them.…

  • The News Stand: 22/01/2024

    When I started writing this post, I was about to say it was a quiet week. Wrong, there is a actually a whole chunk of stuff! The preview bucket is overflowing, all ready to give you inspiration before they release. So read on and get inspired! As always, thanks to the News Fans and other…

  • SITREP: How To FDM A City

    I bought a replacement FDM printer back in September last year after seeing the Neptune 4 on a good deal. The previous printer (an Ender 5 Pro) worked but time has moved on and the Neptune on paper was such a huge step up, that it just made sense. So it’s strangely odd that this…
