Gettysburg, Ardennes, and Normandy are no longer the only things to enjoy. You can find increasingly interesting, thematically unique games. A package arrived today, and inside was Onoda. Salt&PepperGames has found a way to create historical games and publish them beautifully.

Thanks to Dietz Foundation, I'm preparing a demo copy of Chicago '68 for the Wargameron convention, which I advertised here a while ago. Today I received an large A0 format printout of the map. It's impressive, isn't it?

Today I visited the hotel where the Wargameron convention will be held. Another event was taking place there. It was the perfect opportunity to see the largest auditorium in use. Preparations are entering their final stages. All the details have been finalized. Now we're slowly

After a long wait on the shelf of shame, I finally managed to play 1812!: War on the Great Lakes Frontier from compassgames Wow, what a great game. Lots of tinkering, a short quilt, lots of options, unique battles, and a great player's manual with tons of historical tidbits.

August is one of the most amazing months in Poland. It's a time of pilgrimage to the miraculous image of the Mother of God in Częstochowa, but it's also a time of anniversaries of important historical events, including, above all, the victory over the Bolsheviks in 1920. To mark

In honor of the victory at the Battle of Warsaw in 1920, I'm posting a subjective list of game covers that reference this battle or the entire war. Each game has a completely different gameplay system, presents different aspects of decision-making and the dynamics of events, but

Vacation, vacation, but Wargameron '25 is getting closer and closer. The display copy of Chicago '68 from Dietz Foundation is ready. As always, many thanks to Cube4meShop for the brilliant wooden parts and inserts for cards and counters.

Closing of the parade drill of the honor guard of the 18th Anti-Aircraft Regiment from Zamość. Contrary to appearances, this short reveals much of the soul and tradition of the Polish soldier. I love it. Wiwat Wojsko Polskie!

Wargameron '25 began today. Even though it was Thursday, about 50 players from all over Poland had already shown up. Many excellent titles were on display. I personally played Sreugfle of Empires by Martin Wallace and China's War by Brian Train. The new COIN from GMT Games is

Another day of Wargameron '25 is behind us. There was a barbecue for the participants and a North vs. South football match. In the meantime, I played some truly interesting historical games in good company, and that's only half the event.

The last few days of Wargameron '25 were very intense. I didn't sleep much, spent a lot of time explaining the rules of various games, but I also managed to play some interesting games. I'll post some photos from them soon, but for now, I'm sharing a roll from a dear friend who

A throwback. On the penultimate day of Wargameron '25, I played games of both the heavy and light variety. Most importantly, the day was spent translating and teaching new players how to play in Chicago '68. A truly polished and excellent game. La Famiglia also found a nice group

The package from Japan arrived, and inside, as always, was a perfect issue of Banzai Magazine. The smell of printer's ink, beautiful graphics, and great articles are already a hallmark of Bonsai Games. Thanks, Yasushi Nakaguro for continuing to publish this wonderful magazine and games.
