The Most Unlikely Predator?

Think of someone likely to be accused as a sexual predator and killer. Chances are that image bears no relation to Colonel Russel Williams. The commander of Canadian Forces Base Trenton and 8 Wing, the veteran Canadian air force officer has been charged in the sexually-based murders of two women, one Canadian air force Corpora… Continue

Open Source/Freeware Wargames--A Future Trend?

Will wargaming migrate from Desktop Publishing (DTP) to true Freeware/Open Source designs? We see this with VALOR & VICTORY, a squad-level WWII tactical ground combat system that's been out on the internet since 2008. I have no idea how many people have played the game or built their own game sets from the PDFs on the website. But I like the idea of collaborative wargame design, development, and playtesting. Is this a future tr

The Quest for the Wargaming Holy Grail

I've noticed that we don't often hear about a proliferation of titles on the same subjects quite like we used to. Of course, these days, the diversity of genres and subjects is simply staggering--had someone told me fifteen or twenty years ago that card-driven wargames on World War One, especially one on the Middle East and Turkish theater (PURSUIT OF GLORY), were all the rage, I would have not believed it. Twenty or thirty years ago, we didn't have this kind of diversity--even in… Continue

Fort Pitt Museum to Reopen in April

I'll avoid talk of the sordid state-level political dealings and bullying that wrecked the Pennsylvania state budget last year. However, one of the casualties was the Pennsylvania History and Landmarks Commission, which was gutted, crippling its ability to maintain historical attractions.

One of my favorite attractions was the victim of long-term closure. The… Continue
