If you're like me, looking for the best WWII audiobooks for wargamers can be quite a task. There has been SO MUCH written about this massive world war that it's hard to sift through the many (often wonderful) books and find the ones that stand out from a wargaming perspective. Sure, there is plenty of…
So it turns out that I just really like airfighting games. I loved X-Wing, I really loved Aeronautica Imperialis, and now I have found more love for Blood Red Skies. Blood Red Skies, the dogfighting World War Two game from Warlord Games, was released about four years ago covering the Battle of Britain. A natural…

I started off getting two starter armies for my birthday: the US Infantry Starter Army, and the Waffen-SS Starter Army. I painted them up in no time (I have since learned that painting Warlord Games' Bolt Action miniatures…
I have been getting so excited about historicals lately that I decided I needed to make the plunge into some smaller scale stuff. And while yes, I did buy some 15mm American Civil War (or, "Epic Scale" as Warlord Games calls it) I wanted to dip my toe into the very small: 6mm WWII. …
