About the Project
Lately, I've been running war games every weekend with members of the community via web conference. Players log on and play wargames with each other in real time, regardless of location, and we usually have at least a couple spectators as well. Many times it’s been Darkstar, but we’re also running wargames in Panzer Leader, Arab-Israeli Wars, and now Valor & Victory.
BoW/OTT community members @brucelea, @damon, @davehawes, and @rasmus have taken the plunge, leading battalions across thousands of meters of desert, starfleets in pitched battles across the heavens, or vicious firefights in the jungles of Vietnam, all without leaving the comfort of their home.
Hard-core, old-school command-tactical wargames can now be run (complete with spectators and recordings) in real time, with BOTH PLAYERS moving pieces across THE SAME virtual game board, thus maintaining player agency, speedy and instant results (no play by e-mail), interwoven turn sequences, any questions / feedback instantly received and addressed, and with the game being virtually recorded as it goes, a ready-made battle report can actually be created as we go.
All of this without the players having to install any new software on their computer, on any platform (PC or Mac). All that's needed is to agree on a time, a handful of dice, and a bellyful of courage!
Every weekend can now be a boot camp! All without costing me thousands of dollars in airfare, too!

Hobby Video: Unboxing and Build: Battlefront T-80 Battletank
Join us as we crack the T-80 Company Box Set from Battlefront (15mm).
(Replay from Sunday afternoon’s stream)

Here is the of the build so far (after the video and finishing up the other four vehicles in the pack.Panzer Leader 1987
Join us for a summary review of a recent game of modern-era Panzer Leader, played between Oriskany Jim and Arrigo Velicogna. It’s a Panzer Leader take on the “War that Never Was” envisioned so many times in works like The Third World War: August 1985, Team Yankee, Red Storm Rising, Red Army, and so on. It’s the mid-late 1980s, and the Soviets crashed across the border into West Germany.
In particular, its a “tip of the spear” meeting engagement between elements of Soviet 8th Guards Combined Army / Second Western Front and American V Corps / CENTAG. In particular, a forward battalion task force (reinforced) of 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment has been ordered to Rossdorf, there to meet, engage, and hopefully at least slow the vanguard operational maneuver group of 79th Guards Tank Division.
Terrain Hobby - Stream and Chill
Join me for a casual stream later this afternoon, building some light table terrain for your medieval / black powder tables.
Here is the reply from Sunday’s Video:
Korean Air War (AirWar C21 Scenario) - B-29 Escort Mission Part 02
Join Rasmus and Oriskany as they finish up their game of AirWar C21 (Wessex Games). As we saw earlier, the scenario this time is a B-29 bomber escort mission in the fiery skies of MiG Alley, 1952.
So far Jim’s MiG-15s haven’t had much luck intercepting Rasmus’ American bombers, but have shot down one F-86 Saber … at the cost of three of their own aircraft.
Korean Air War (AirWar C21 Scenario) - B-29 Escort Mission Part 01
Join Rasmus and Oriskany Jim as they take to the fiery skies over Korea, 1952. We’re using the AirWar C21 jet dogfighting system (Wessex Games – with stats drawn from the corresponding Data Annex) to recreate a different scenario than we’ve seen in prior games.
Here, more advanced variants F-86 Sabers are escorting B-29 bombers over northwest North Korea, through that infamous patch of sky known as “MiG Alley.”
We’re using different variants of the F-86, different levels of pilot quality (average, good, and ace), and of course the escort scenario mechanic to change things up a little.
Hope you like the new take on our “MiG Alley” games!
War in Ukraine - When It's No Longer "a Game"
This is a wargamer’s review of recent events in the Ukraine, based on available information on 3 April 2022. This is NOT A WARGAME on current events.
Miami Vice Shootout! Sitrep Skirmish Game System (Part 2)
“Previously on Miami Vice …”
In this episode, we conclude our game of Sitrep Skirmish, where Bill (Sitrep Six), Oriskany Jim, and Jennifer (Gladesrunner) imagine a fiery shootout in the world of the classic eighties TV show “Miami Vice.”
We’ve got Crockett & Tubbs, Gina & Trudy, Switek & Zito, and of course a dour Lieutenant Castillo, all in a high-speed boat chase and cinematic firefight against a villainous cast of television baddies.
Indeed, it’s time for something a little more light-hearted, just a small dose of escapism from a world gone mad around us.
What other TV or movie themes do you think we could explore with the Sitrep Skirmish system?
Miami Vice Shootout! Sitrep Skirmish Game System (Part 1)
It’s an “Eighties Three-Way” … with Bill (Sitrep Six), Oriskany Jim, and Jennifer (Gladesrunner) using the Sitrep Skirmish wargame system to create a fiery shootout in the world of the classic eighties TV show “Miami Vice.”
We’ve got Crockett & Tubbs, Gina & Trudy, Switek & Zito, and of course a dour Lieutenant Castillo, all in a high-speed boat chase and cinematic firefight against a villainous cast of television baddies.
