Battle over Britain series

 Classic dogfight match-up (Spitfire Vs ME-109E) in a game from the Battle over Britain series from Minden Games. Volume 5, Tally Ho! (2018) is the one with more scenarios and it includes the base rules, although I think a re-release is coming named Dogfight!

The game models very well the differences between planes with minimal rules overhead. Gary Graber knows his stuff!  As it stands, it is a wonderfully fun and quick 2-player game (especially with the 7 or 13 games campaign).   Tally Ho comes with solitaire rules, but I find them somehow lacking. I am working on alternatives solo rules and this afternoon I had a chance to test them.

Peninsular War variant for 'The Men Who Would Be Kings'

Reading about the Peninsular War, I had the idea that the “pop-up and slink away” style of Mr. Babbage would suit the ambushing tactics of a guerrilla centric Allied Army. So I wrote these army lists that do not change any base rule, except if you use Lancers (which is optional anyway). Of course, you can play it with a friend if you wish. This is a variant for The Men Who Would Be Kings' by Osprey Wargames. DOWNLOAD HERE

Catholic Girls Vs Zombies

I prepared two warbands to test an upcoming update to my AI Deck Solo system for Songs of Blades and Heroes. Written by Andrea Sfiligoi, Song of Blades and Heroes is a popular skirmish ruleset and deservedly so. In my scenario the girls at a Catholic Summer Camp abscond during the night to perform a dark ritual in a nearby cemetery. They rise some dormant Zombies. Luckily, Father Morrison was a veteran army chaplain and Sister Claire is quite adept at mortifying flesh.

The Fields of Normandy 2

This game belongs to the new crop of solo book/boardgame hybrids championed by designer Mike Lambo and published through Amazon. You get a physical book and then you have to craft a small number of counters that are printed on the last page or downloaded from boardgamegeek.com. In The Fields of Normandy 2 units have much more maneuverability than in the first iteration of the game and it has some very nice additions, like smoke cover, bocage, panzers and, above all, a six linked scenarios campaign. Impressed after the first play.
