AAR Wargames with Russ Lockwood

It may have been a polar vortex outside for most of the month, but inside was some hot wargaming — A little of everything ending with the usual variety of book reviews.

Enjoy.

AAR Wargaming: Russ Lockwood


After being crunched by a miserable flu-like bug (so much for my flu shot), I kept warm with chicken soup and more than the usual wargaming reading. With recovery came actual face-to-face wargaming — a little bit of everything this month.

 

Enjoy.
