Gaming

I always wanted to get a game table to play Flames of War or the countless board games I have but they were so darn expensive. Along came a man named Berky with his . The idea behind the Game Toppers, that you can take something that looks like a game table but without the actual legs part. Something that is portable, and easy to store away in between game sessions.

For me, the draw of the Game Topper was that you can have a table where the dice don’t fall off the table because the table is actually inside the sides a set of rails. Also, I wanted to have a cup holder right at the table.

Do you want to know where the Iron Crosses grow? Well, is prepared to show you.  While attending Cold Wars, I came across a game of Iron Cross published by Great Escape Games being run.  I was unable to sign up for the game but stood back as a lurker for a short time to get a feel.

Our gaming group likes to play company level actions on our WWII gaming night and we had not quite found the right rules to scratch that itch (or finish games before our local hobby shop closed at night!).  I was able to find a copy in the vendor hall and take the plunge…..  Now that we have actually played the rules, I have a decent sense of how they are intended to work and how they “feel” on the table.  So here goes!
