Adventures in Wargaming

Author: Michael Charge

  • Impressions: SASM Operator Juarez

    A big push this year on the site is to expand the list of companies I cover, with the goal of providing the widest possible look into all the options available to an ultramodern gamer. One of the companies that had sat on my list for a while has been Special Artisan Service Miniatures based…

  • Operation Dragon’s Hoard: Vapnartak, York

    If you haven’t checked out the previous posts in the series on Operation Dragon’s Hoard, check out the page I’ve set up for it at https://hntdaab.co.uk/blog/demo-game-operation-dragons-hoard/ Last weekend was Vapnartak. This was a show I’ve been particularly looking forward to; Its one of my “local” shows (thanks to one of my buddies in the wargaming…

  • Spectre Operations: Building a Force – Mobility, Protection, Firepower

    In the last post we took a look at the basics of building a force through role specific teams. In this post, we’ll look at how vehicles can be added to regular forces in order to augment their capabilities and provide new tactics. As in part 1, this article is designed primarily for Spectre Operations…

  • Wargaming Week 29/01/2018

    Let’s start, covering the 22nd through to the 28th of January. BLOG STUFF This week saw a new battle report for Spectre Operations – Big Bird Down. Overall the battle was a fun time and a great game to write up! This week’s post is going to be a little bit shorter as I’m currently REALLY…

  • Battle Report – Big Bird Down – Spectre Operations

    This week’s battle report saw me finally bringing the downed C130 down to the club. Rather than the infantry heavy Skirmish Sangin scenario that is being used for the demo game, we instead brought out the big guns and went for some vehicle action in Spectre Operations. While flying a routine transport operation between Bazi…

  • Wargaming Week 22/01/2018

    Let’s start, covering the 15th through to the 21st of January. BLOG STUFF Last week’s post was looking at December’s release from Spectre. I really like this little set of releases – its exciting to see some new weapons for the older ranges, giving them more options on the battlefield. It will be cool to…

  • Impressions: Spectre’s December Releases

    After the massive pile of releases in November, December saw a bit more of a focused set. For all of those who didn’t make it to Crisis, this was our chance to get hold of a set of useful support options for some of the other ranges. I’m always a fan of them going back…

  • Wargaming Week 15/01/2018

    Let’s start, covering the 8th through to the 14th of January. BLOG STUFF This week on the blog, we took a look at a brand new ruleset Round of Fire. I was really excited to try it out and from the few games I got in over Christmas it’s definitely something I want to play more…

  • Impressions: Round Of Fire Universal Skirmish Rules

    As someone who reads a lot of rules, I should really starting asking for money every time someone calls their ruleset “revolutionary” – it would probably make me more than my current Adsense performance. In most cases people trying something new end up combining elements seen elsewhere in new combinations which do play in a…

  • 2018 in Preview

    We’ve taken a look at what happened in 2017, let’s take a look at what’s coming up in 2018. Targets The main plan is really just to keep going with the current plan as a base level. 2 posts a week works out pretty well, with Wargaming Week taking about an evening so the rest…

  • 2017 in Review

    Time to talk State of the Union. My Christmas break blog reading was packed with people talking about how their blog had done in 2017 and what they had planned for 2018. I always like reading these posts so I think it’s time to add my own to the pile. As is traditional, it may…

  • Going on Break

    We’re here! The last post of 2017! Post number 113 for 2017. I really hope you all enjoy the new part of the Great Big Modern Wargaming Rules Comparison. They are a bit of bastard to write but hearing people talk about the end result makes it all worthwhile. To make things easier, I’ve actually…

  • The Great Big Modern Wargaming Rules Comparison 2: Electric Boogaloo

    Before we start a disclaimer: I have done some writing for Skirmish Sangin (including the latest book) and I am listed in the Spectre Operations book as a play tester. Last year I wrote the Great Big Modern Wargaming Rules Comparison as a way to share some of the information about the hobby which I…
