Battle of the Bulge: Tablet Style

December 30th, 2012 · 12 Comments · Mobile, Wargames, WW2

I could just say “Go and buy this game”, but I am not really in the consumer recommendation business and this isn’t really a review. And, honestly, a lot of people will take a lot of time before Shenandoah’s Battle of the Bulge finally clicks in that special part of the body that wargamers or […]

As a single man that has trouble finding people to regularly play board games with, it made sense to have a show about solitaire boardgaming with Bruce Geryk and Tom Chick.

Three Moves Ahead Episode 196: Grunt’s Eye View

December 1st, 2012 · Comments Off on Three Moves Ahead Episode 196: Grunt’s Eye View · Podcast, Three Moves Ahead

So this show went up on Thursday and I wasn’t aware because I was buried neck deep in PR Planning and trying not to hate December the way I already hated the last two months.
