About Me

Welcome to my wargaming blog. I am an avid wargamer who loves to talk about wargames. I started my journey playing Combat Mission Black Sea and fell in love with wargaming ever since. Think of my blog as a diary about computer wargames, military history books, films, and documentaries.

Anything to do with military history or wargaming is suspects to be included in my blog. I am also one of the co-owner of Hex!, a discord dedicated to computer wargaming.

  1. Just discovered your blog Max.

    Really impressed there is someone out there covering proper “groggy” wargames !

    As someone who is bowled over both by Shadow Empire at release and the potential of what Vic can do with it going forward I fully concur with your review.

    I love the fact you gave us a mini AAR on France 40 too. I see the graphics are being given a really impressive makeover by Wargame Design Studios and the upcoming Scheldt 44 looks a cracker.

    Just wanted to give you some feedback but thanks again for the articles to date.

    All the best

    • Hi Ian Gillibrand!

      Thanks you for your kind comments and support.

      It really means a lot to me to read everyone’s comment.

      Ye, I did this blog out of love for wargame. Not like there are no other wargames blogs out there but I wanted to add one that is focused on computer wargaming.

      My screenshots from France 40 AAR are actually using the map mods from here http://www.mapmod.se/ The devs are incorporating this maps mods in their latest games like JTS Serbia 14.

      All the best and hope to see you around here soon!

  2. Max- Woould love to get your thoughts/blog on Command Operations 2. Those who play it suggest its one of the best operational wargames around..

    • Hi Tommy, it’s a complex game, almost like Flashpoiny Campaign but in a real time but the units have more autonomy on tactical decisions . I think I’ll have to find some time to review the game.

      Thanks for the suggestion.

  3. Hi, Max. I read one of your articles about wargamers and the ten military proficiencies they must master. You write as someone who has served. The article was on-point and relevant. Keep up the good work.
