Wargaming Wednesday Returns!
In an outreach effort dedicated to reaching out (hence the name) to more non-wargamers, I’ve resumed posting about wargames at the Castalia House blog. Each Wednesday, the publisher’s blog features a post related to wargames called, not surprisingly, Wargames Wednesday. I share duties with a number of other smart and erudite wargamer types who focus more on the hex-and-counter style wargames. This week, I detailed a quick rundown of A Song of Blades and Heroes, and next week will see a write-up of my first stumbling attempts at playing the novel and quirky sci-fi game Rogue Planet.
Over the last month, the blog ran a series of posts detailing Avalon Hill’s Battle of the Bulge that is well worth a read for wargamers of all stripes. Here, for your dining and dancing pleasure, is a link to all five parts of this in-depth analysis of a classic wargame:
Avalon Hill’s The Battle of the Bulge (1981) – Part I
Avalon Hill’s The Battle of the Bulge (1981) – Part II
Avalon Hill’s The Battle of the Bulge (1981) – Part III
Avalon Hill’s The Battle of the Bulge (1981) – Part IV
