On this Independence Day, I thought that it would be appropriate to review the game that recreates The American War of Independence, or The Revolutionary War, depending on who you're talking to--a Black Powder review. This is a game that I got into a long time ago, but which has taken me an equally long…
I’ll start off by saying that I was not expecting to like this game nearly as much as I did. I love Warhammer 40k, and I love Warhammer 30k, but Titans? I have never been able to get into them. I just think they look weird. I have never been impressed by the huge 3-foot-tall…
Aeronautica Imperialis Review: I Love This Game
When I got into X-Wing years ago I fell into it hard, buying all the little ships and one too many of the big ships (I just had to get that Corvette), and I loved the game . But X-Wing had two fatal flaws. The first, and the…
With the world the way it is right now (as of writing it is currently January 2022), with Russian forces massed on the Ukrainian border and with NATO in heavy talks about retaliation and mobilizing their military forces, it seems like the right time to review World War Three: Team Yankee.
The Premise of World War…
Marvel: Crisis Protocol Review—Overall Rankings
Lore: 9/10
Gameplay: 7/10
Hobbying: 3/10
With Spider-Man: No Way Home nearly out, I thought that it was high time that I give a Marvel: Crisis Protocol review. I had real questions about reviewing this game because I can't quite decide if it qualifies as a "wargame" per se. It's got very few…
My Silver Bayonet Review:
Lore: 6/10
Gameplay: 8/10
Hobbying: 6/10
The Silver Bayonet is a skirmish-style wargame that has a good lineage, coming from the creator of a similar scoped game, Frostgrave. However, in my view The Silver Bayonet is a much more adventurous endeavor, having more of a narrative point of view than Frostgrave, with an easier…
When looking at whether or not Warhammer+ is worth the cost, there are two costs we need to weigh. The first is the dollar value, and the second is the personal cost as it relates to supporting Games Workshop at a time when so many people are calling for a boycott.
I've…
Gameplay: 9/10
Lore: 2/10
Hobbying: 5/10
So I'm going to try to be as positive as possible in this review (which probably gives you a sneak peak into what my gut feelings are about Armada from Mantic Games).
To start out, I really wanted to like this game.…
Gameplay: 6/10
Lore: 10/10
Hobbying: 8/10
Despite the great reviews of Star Wars: Legion, I have been reluctant to dip my toe into the waters for one reason and one reason only: I didn't think I could paint Stormtroopers. White armor is a hard thing to paint, but that wasn't as…
Review Score:
Gameplay: 7/10
Lore: 6/10
Hobbying: 8/10
Konflict 47 is a game that absolutely delights me and it makes me sad that absolutely no one in my entire state seems to play it. It is a less-popular wargame from Warlord Games, based on the Bolt Action system, and it…
