The September 2024 Monthly Debrief Video saw us discussing the subject of Wargame Stories. We love to reminisce about our wargaming experiences over the past nearly 10 years and had a great time coming up with the experiences we focused on. Some are silly, some are very exciting and some give you a good look into our love of and feelings about wargaming.

Also as usual, we covered the games we played in September and provided a look ahead at what games we plan on playing in October.

One of the games we covered and shared about was Combat Commander from GMT Games. I mentioned in the video that we used to write AAR’s for our sessions here on the blog. Here are links to some of those AAR’s:

“Fix bayonets!…& fire for effect!” – AAR for Scenario #1 Fat Lipki

We will remind you here that we are fortunate to be continuing our relationship with Noble Knight Games as the sponsor for our Monthly Debrief Video series. In case you don’t know, Noble Knight Games specializes in hard to find games but also carry all the new releases. But what makes them truly unique is that you can find some of the rarest games, long out of print games, hand made games, imported games from overseas, etc. Thanks to them for their sponsorship and we hope that you will consider them first when looking for the games we cover.
