Setting up a tournament can be challenging as winning a competition. After painting his first FOW army and , NDNG’s Paolo Paglianti decided to set up a FOW competition in his own city.

So, the old way we found out about events is over, I assume smoke signals and town criers were not cutting it, so the folks from Battlefront created the Battlefront Events website which is located This new site is a great one-stop shop for all of your events needs.

Warlord has released for Cruel Seas navy fleet boxes for four different countries. The US, Imperial Japanese Navy, British, and Germans are all covered. Sometime this month we should see the addition of the Soviet and Italian navies.

Within the Core Box, along with the rules, counters and other necessities are four British Vospers and four German S-Boats. This is a good starting force but what might you want to pick up next?  What plays well?

This set of four articles will explore the navy boxes that Warlord has released starting with the German Kriegsmarine.

In this episode we sit down with Mike Tunez from to talk about what is in store for Blood and Plunder and Oak and Iron in 2019. The Benerson Little books we talk about can be found

After my initial tests with Leonid, the day had finally arrived. It’s been a while since I’ve been to any event other than the ones where I’m the TO, so I was eager to get going.

I had the good fortune of having my good friend Helge as “co-pilot” for the trip to Esbjerg. We were going to play three games, but we ended up playing 2½, as the last one (vs Helge) had to be done fast in order to get home to wife/kids.

My preparations

I have read the articles about the IPB by Chris Jackson (, ). I decided to try and do my best to take some notes before each battle and after, on a piece of paper in regards to my thoughts.

Here at NDNG, we like to listen to the gamers in our community and provide them with events we consider fun and challenging. For the last few HMGS conventions, we have been hosting Team Yankee events which include the North American Nationals each July during Historicon.

Based on the comments we got from gamers during Fall-in in November 2018 we wanted to host a narrative doubles event that will test you as a gamer and throw some wrinkles into the game that players will love. which will be held on 15 March 2019 in Lancaster PA will be the site of our first linked narrative event.

Following up on my Tactical Suggestion article about the Red Banner Command Card with Leonid in it, I have had a game with a friend, where we tested a list using that card.

I have already had another game with the list, but in that game, he never got to be a part of the game, and I found it hard to make any real analysis based on that game.

Be aware that the game is a Fog Of War game, as I am going to a tournament with all Fog Of War matches, and this was a test of a list for that event as well. We played Dust Up.

You have seen the teases on Facebook and have wondered what this new game is all about. I was lucky enough to have Image Studios send me a beta copy of the game to playtest for the next few weeks. Walter Vail who runs was gracious enough to let me spoil some of the game for you.

I have been working with Walter on the rules for a while now, I love playing with Dreadnoughts, I have a ton of ships in the 1/2400 scale and have worked on some homebrew rules to play with my massive fleets.

Editor: This week we take a look at one of the first User-Generated Content pieces produced for No Dice No Glory. Author Ian Birdwell on his Flames of War for the Hungarians in WWII:

Hungary and the Eastern Front

By the end of 1942 Hungary was dealt a series of sobering blows by the Red Army, and had lost the entirety of the Hungarian 2^nd Army by March of 1943.

In short, the Hungarian Army was in a bad way following the conclusion of the Battle of Stalingrad. With their history of continual losing ground, along with their dramatically outdated equipment the moment it enters service, what’s not to love about the Hungarian army?

Especially with mid-war, when it all begins to circle the drain. 

to its fans is a great horse and musket game for the Seven Years War. This is approximately the years 1740-1763. The war itself started in 1754 and lasted until 1763. As was with the times in Europe it was turbulent with many factions and thus a good topic for action on the tabletop. For those of us within the United States, we know this war as the French and Indian War when the young George Washington was a junior officer with the British Army.

This set of rules is more for Europe, and the author Bill Protz has another set of rules specifically for the French and Indian Wars called

Let’s talk about BAR, what makes it fun and why it might be the game you’re looking for. This period in history has much to offer. Across Europe the political map was complex and the variety of forces involved and their fickle loyalties offer many a what if as well as historical material to plan a game.
