Looking forwards to an AAR  :go-on:

I didn't get a "catalogue" - not even a sheet - letting me know the games they've got available! And I paid £140 for my game!!  :tickedoff:

Now that is annoying, JD.

It's probably for the best. I've been on a splurge lately  :2funny:

Having said that...I do think I would like the expansion for Battle Hymn which is Shiloh and Bentonville. I have also wanted LnL Heroes of the Nam

Nice!

I did a Horten H.XVIII alternate bomber in Photoshop and uploaded it to BGG last month:

That is one mean looking aircraft.

BC, I realise this is likely a daft question, but have you explored 'Interceptor Ace' yet at all, at all?

Not daft at all. I'd looked at it and had read through the manual (I helped them proof it last year but that doesn't mean I remember it all for sure, lol). I rounded the counters (natch) but haven't played it yet.

I have a list of a handful of games in my head that includes Compass and LnL titles (including Victory and Glory, the LnL Civil War game on Steam) that need reviewing, but yesterday I needed something comforting in its familiarness, so I broke out Cruel Necessity by VPG. Would love to do an AAR of that game but that would take a while. I know you might ask about my Nightfighter Ace AAR, though that one was done all on my work laptop. I backed up all the files when I moved to a newer/better work laptop, but work has been insanely busy and usually by the end of the day, the last thing I want is to keep looking at my work laptop for another several hours. I'm toying with breaking that out and starting a new, full AAR, from the beginning, though I'd like to do that for Interceptor Ace, too.

I did play a full successful campaign for Amerika Bomber, which involved in the end my bomber dropping three atom bombs on America (New York, Philly, and I can't remember the third though it might have been Chicago). I played that pretty quickly with no eye towards an AAR but that might be in the cards later. I figure there's other games you guys would rather read about more right now.

It's something of an analysis paralysis, too, admittedly.

I recently acquired this game. First impressions here.

https://rockymountainnavy.wordpress.com/2020/04/17/alternate-history-to-wargame-april-1947-flight-log-of-hauptmann-b-or-firstimpressions-of-amerika-bomber-evil-queen-of-the-skies-compassgamesllc-2020/

TLDR: Will stay in collection but more likely as a 'filler game' when I have a bit of some time to kill. Unlikely to play a full campaign in one sitting.
