You might remember end of last year’s Game Off game jam sponsored by Github. The winners have been annouced a while ago, and while again quite a few submissions were using closed source game engines, the overall winner isn’t. So make sure you don’t miss Sealed Bite, a fun little/short jump and run: Obvious inspiration comes from the very popular Celeste game. You can find … Continue reading Don’t miss Sealed Bite, the Game Off 2019 winner!
Its January and in Atlantica the armies take the field for another season of hard campaigning. The Rebel column approaches Westbridge Farm as a pursuing column of Dominion troops appears on the far side of the river, marching hard. To be continued…… Continue reading And So It Begins Again…..
More by coincidence than any sort of clever planning, I have reached the new year at a moment of hobby tranquility if not stasis so it seemed like as good a time as any to pause for reflection and make plans form some vague intentions for the winter campaigning season. (Yay Snow!) (in moderation…) The next time the Governor General’s Bodyguard needs to dismount, I’ll have proper … Continue reading Looking Ahead
The old year was drawing to a close and Sir Gawaine was visiting Old Stones Keep, the holding of Sir Vincent and Lady Johanna. The morning mists were just clearing and the common folk setting about their daily tasks when a horn sounded from a nearby wood.

I think this little skirmish played 10 years ago might have been the first game for my nascent Prince Valiant collection. (See my Prince Valiant page for more) In any event the majority of the games have used Medieval Mayhem, a set of rules written by Rob Dean (with some input from me) in 2002 and later published in Battlegames. Its still a viable choice … Continue reading The Same but Different
Count Jehan shows Gawaine his prize bull and two recent additions to his herd, Aurochs! (Small Aurochs to be sure but still mighty beasts.) Gawaine suggests he double the night watch since Saxon ships have been seen offshore. Continue reading A lot of Bull
On Boxing Day morning, the convoy resumed its trek towards Fort Henry. The occasional BOOM of the Fort’s canon and Crack! Crack! of a rebel sharpshooter reassured that the fort was still held for the Queen. As the column approached the little village of Presdelac, shots rang out The steamer pressed forward under a hot fire while the relief column attacked vigorously on a broad … Continue reading Better Late Than Never
Hold on boys, Christmas dinner is on its way! Merry Christmas to all my readers and their families and companions large and small. May there be food and drink, warmth and good cheer, and….TOYS! Continue reading Christmas Eve at Fort Henry in Atlantica
Idle time approaches! Hopefully the relief of the siege, well, blockade really, of Fort Henry is near. (See Dominion Day Train Tide and following post.) In the meantime, amongst other things, I had a quick review of 2019’s Toy Soldier games, then I looked at 2018’s games. There were some good games in both years but only 1/2 as many games in 2019. It was … Continue reading Meanwhile, Back At the Ranch
