I’m a hardcore grog. I like my games with hexes and chits. Fifty-page rule books don’t scare me, in fact they often appeal to me. I’m a lot more interested in the simulation value of most games than I am their playability. I’m interested in narrative and historical accuracy. I like maps. A lot.
All of which are reasons that I’m something of an odd choice as reviewer for Hollandspiel’s latest, Tom Russell’s Table Battles.
Table Battles bills itself as “a thinky filler, a light dice game that nevertheless will have you scratching your chin and agonizing over your decisions.” Tom himself posted in a Facebook discussion something to the effect that it might not be a wargame. There is no map. There isn’t any movement of pieces.
Michael takes a look inside the COH box from the gang over at Academy Games.

AAR: PART 4 (TURN 3)
It should be noted that I forgot about a stunned Irdan unit in the south; here is an updated map for your perusal.
When we last left off, the Irdan hordes were advancing slowly but surely on Outpost Gamma. Let’s get back into the action without further ado!
High Flying Dice sent over copies of both Gliders from the Sky and St. George’s Valor. Michael digs into both.
Note that these games are not sold in a combo pack, but were both shipped to us together. Watch for more as Michael digs into the games
