Victory Games made a big impact in its short history, and was more than just a subsidiary of Avalon Hill. In this video, I had the honor to interview the former head of the company, Mark Herman, who also happens to be a pretty famous board game designer. buff.ly/3Y5vBFc

Today, I am Roland Banks in my very first play of "Horror at Arkham : the Card game". The lovecraftian universe is perfectly rendered. The tension is rising from act to act 😱. Really love it ! Very addictive for those who like role play and card game. FantasyFlightGames Totally Tabled

Playing "Too many bones". A very tactical dice building/role playing game. You play 1 to 4 Gearlocs trying to defeat Villains and Monsters to protect the lands of the Daelore. Amazing game with incredible high quality materials 🤩. Chip Theory Games TheBoardgamesChronicle

Operational victory (42 points) on Stalingrad Advance to the Volga by Revolution Games. Great and challenging game by designer Michael Rinella. #wargame

Playing "RAF the Battle of Britain 1940" by Decision Games designed by John H Butterfield. This is my favorite Air bombing and Raid combat solo wargame. Very immersive and game play flows quick and nice thanks to the SqP cards created by Joseph Lisk. #wargames #raf

Getting "Tetrarchia" on the table. A small footprint area control historical game by DracoIdeas English. It places us in the "sandals" of Roman Emperors fighting barbarians cross the borders and revolts inside the declining Roman Empire. Nice ! The Players’ Aid #wargames #boardgames

Another area control wargame tonight. "Pacific War 1942 Solitaire" by Worthington publishing. Pocket size. Can be played anywhere, anytime. Lots of replayability and fun. Spoted this one thanks to a great review from Grant on YT The Players’ Aid. #wargames #boardgames #pacificwar

The Allies won with a score of 24. Invasion of Japan from the China Front. Singapore felt under strong British push. Japanese Imperial Navy managed to retrieve the Southwest Pacific sea area at the very end. Had some lucky dice rolls to be honest...🙂 #WarGames #boardgames

Playing another area control game. "Dual Powers Révolution 1917" by TW Games. I am playing as the Soviet provisional government forces fighting against the rising Bolchevik party. Light and easy to learn, with high replayability and a 3 turns solo mode. #wargames #boardgames

Playing "L'ordre de Veiel" a French only 1 to 5 players tactical fantasy deckbuilding game. You are heroes trying to defeat bosses in a 4 waves combat cycle. Difficulty builds up as you move towards the final wave. Placement on the mat is critical as well as reinforcing your deck

Solo playing Conflict of Heroes Awakening the Bear 2nd ed but with the 3rd ed rules. Really like this squad level wargame ! The bot runs great requiring some good judgment from time to time, like not doing a move where the AI unit will be in LoS of my units. The Players’ Aid

The legendary Supermarine Spitfire: first flown on 5 March 1936 and powered by the iconic Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. With over 20 300 built, it was pivotal in the Battle of Britain, securing air superiority and becoming a symbol of resilience. What a plane 🙏 #WWII #Spitfire

Big fight on Spirit Island ! I've generated sufficient fear to finally destroy the Invaders' cities. Great and very tricky game by Intrafin Games #boardgames #spiritisland

Playing "U-Boat the boardgame" with my friends. Our navigator uses real compass to calculate our distance and expected transit time to reach our next target. A full coop, real-time WW2 submarine wargame where we take command of a type VIIC U-boat #wargames #WW2 #boardgames

My first play of "War of the Ring" the Anniversary Limited edition 🤩 Looks great with painted minis and 3D mountain ranges. What a game ! #Wargaming #boardgame

Back from my 13 days roadtrip in Iceland and solo playing "Cascadia" - it's refreshing, easy to learn and materials are awesome ! The Players’ Aid #cascadia #boardgames #soloplay Happy Summer !

Solo playing "Dune The War on Arrakis". Finally managed to get Shai Hulud the savage sandworm on my side. Great mechanics, board is awesome with all the minis in place. Having a blast even though challenging to win solo (Atreides/Fremen side only) #boardgames #WarGames

Solo playing "Traces of War" from VUCA Simulations. First turn not bad for the Soviets with 2 initial breakthroughs : one in the North with tanks, one in the centre (Infantry) ! Germans need to retreat to protect their controled cities. The Players’ Aid #Wargaming

The race to the Dnipro River is over ! 40 VPs for the Soviets out of 50 to win... Despite strong initial Soviets breakthroughs 🫡, the Germans held their lines firmly with tanks in two major cities (Cherkasy and Dnipropetrovsk). Highly recommend this game 🤩. VUCA Simulations
