I have been given a brilliant belated birthday present by my dad, a copy of the re-released classic boardgame Escape From Colditz. I've been trying to find a copy for ages but they disappeared from Waterstones really quickly, so I couldn't make the most of my Xmas vouchers. I'm really looking forward to opening the box for a proper rummage and a game or two.
Welcome to my solo board wargaming blog. I like a nice cuppa and a decent doorstep sarnie with my games, so it's time to get a brew on! This blog will follow my occasional adventures in hex and counter board wargaming, 'off the shelf' pre-painted miniature wargaming and 'print and play' paper wargaming. I like to keep it really simple so there's more 'beer and pretzels' than high complexity number crunching on the menu.

Atlantic Fleet Campaign
I've almost finished playing through the campaign system in Atlantic Fleet, with the Royal Navy pretty much hammering the Kriegsmarine in every game, with one or two exceptions. The British definitely have an advantage in the range and strength of the units they can deploy, although the Germans also have some powerful options.
After a while and particularly toward the end of the fifty scenarios, the gameplay tends to repeat itself a bit, so I've not enjoyed the latter stages of the campaign as much as the first thirty scenarios in the sequence. I think I'll swap sides next time or just embark on the Battle of the Atlantic campaign, which looks a bit more challenging.
It's about time I did some proper board gaming too, with the half term holidays in a couple of weeks being a perfect opportunity to dig out some classics and some new games I haven't got round to playing yet.
