A bit of PC Gaming

In a lull/rut of wargaming activity here at present as I am finding figure gaming somewhat lack lustre in its appeal whilst in seemingly never ending solo mode, so I played a few games on PC.

First up is a free (via Steam) WW2 card game called Kards - The World War II Card Game that is a nice quick playing very light game that can certainly while away some time.

Lots of free decks to start you off and easy to play on PC.

You can of course buy more/better cards if you wish (not done so) and there is an online version which I have not tried yet.

Then it was back to an old favourite Eastern Front II with a late war Hungary vs Russia scenario, still a great game this despite its age (especially in PC terms) and just so many scenarios available.

Finally another oldie but goodie Combat Mission: Barbarossa To Berlin with some 'Squad Leader' type action (am still playing this system by Email with a US chap) on the chilly Eastern Front.

A bit of online Wargaming

Couple of screenshots from PBEM ongoing games to bring this Blog back somewhat on track !





Combat Mission (an oldie but goodie) with a Sherman menacing my Pz Grenadiers near Lingevres in Normandy.

No Peace Without Spain board game via Vassal showing overall at start of 1704

And a zoom in with Prince Eugene threatening the Bavarian Elector at Munich as The Duke in a bit of a stalemate with Villars in Flanders locality.

Arty Screenshots (and 118)

Couple of doctored screenshots (messing about with an App called Instagram) from ongoing Pbem PC games.
Arty types and I don't mean artillery for once.

Also just noticed I now have 118 'followers' !!
Last I looked ages ago it was 50.
Many thanks to all who peruse my ramblings and so a fanfare salute to you all

Pbem Wargaming and an EBay purchase

Couple of screen captures from ongoing Pbem PC Wargames (all I had time for tonight)

First up a T34/85 roving about in Germany in March 1945 (Combat Mission)

France 1940 in Western Front Campaign Series game in 'boardgame style' view

Which leads me nicely to my EBay purchase at a very reasonable £20.74 (inc p&p) as I was so impressed with playing Stephens copy and could not resist (a recurring Steiner theme I fear !!).
