Return to Crossfire at the club. 2 platoons of US Paras defend the Hartenstein Hotel against 3 platoons of Germans and a Stug. Great back and forth game. After getting bogged down on both flanks by MG fire and losing the Stug to a bazooka shot the Germans just managed to overpower the left flank

Back to the club for the first time since 2024 with a game of Chain of Command. Great to catch up with the guys and to meet some new club members.

Having had a year away from Magic the Gathering I've plunged back into #edh afresh. Buzzing with lots of ideas for decks. Gave a debut to Dina Soul Steeper last night. Combo is something I've never previously embraced, but it is certainly effective and in theory Dina can win on turn three.

Interesting article from Martha Gill. Two additional things I'm pondering is 1.) Impact of the cost-of-living crisis on how people spend leisure time and 2.) The decline of the central role of the public house in peoples social lives.

Not been able to do a whole lot of tabletop recently, but did manage to get a game of Dragon Rampant in last week. Lots of fun putting an army together.

"local councils are no longer free agents but mere agencies for Whitehall. But as agents they have been starved of cash, to the point where dozens face bankruptcy. Street-level local services other than statutory social care are being shredded." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Orcs v Goblins in some Bloodbowl sevens tonight. First game was a 1-1 draw and second game 2-1 to the Orcs after the Goblins scored early, had all their toys sent off by the ref and then incurred some injuries leaving them with just three players!

This weeks gaming consisted of an old favourite, Ticket to Ride, followed by a first-play of Space Base. Thoroughly enjoyed both. We really do live in a golden age of board games.

Missing out on this wouldn't just be a setback... it would be a disaster.
