  • CoC’ing It Up – Rushing To Ranville

    I was originally planning to have a good post covering our usual big February game. Unfortunately, this year, there were a few complications. Have a post about it, out now on ChargeBlog!

  • The News Stand: 20/02/2026

    Another week, another edition of The News Stand. Lots of updates and releases across the space, with the return of large items, deployment of future things and even So Much Stowage. Read on for more!

  • The News Stand: 13/02/2026

    Not all editions of The News Stand are full of good news, and this one comes with the eternally bad news of someone leaving the market. However, there are also plenty of updates from other places within the space, with previews, releases and more. Read on for all the details.

  • The News Stand: 07/02/2026

    It’s the start of a new month, and we have a packed edition of The News Stand. We have previews, new releases, patreon announcements and more! Read on for all the details.

  • The News Stand: 31/01/2026

    It’s the last day of the month, and it’s an action-packed edition of The News Stand. This time, we have releases from Spectre Combat Octopus, previews from Flank March, the usual Patreon fellows, and even a few projects outside the Ultramodern space.

  • The News Stand: 23/01/2025

    It’s a little late (blame a last-minute date with Dagger Directive’s OICW), but this week’s edition of The News Stand is short and sweet. Luckily, short doesn’t mean lacking in content – and this week we have releases, previews and more.

  • All Systems Nominal: Alpha Strike

    It has been a while since we got the big stompy boys out and put them on the table. In fact, over two years (and fast approaching three), something which probably comes down to my lack of mechs, a wargaming calendar filled with other games and, if I’ll admit, my own issues with BattleTech. While…

  • The News Stand: 16/01/2026

    Written while watching a Warhammer Community Preview, this week’s edition of The News Stand is packed full of previews, news and more – definitely a theme of high-end operators and urban warfare! Read on for more!

  • The News Stand: 09/01/2026

    New Year, New Time slot and plenty of things to cover! There were quite a few releases during my holiday/SPOTREP writing break, so we’ll get caught up on that and see what has come out since we flipped the calendar.

  • Actions On For 2026

    Welcome to 2026! The New Year was brought in with a new tradition (a momentary pause from hanging out on Discord with my friends) and now I’m back to work, both at the day job and on the hobby table. So let’s talk about the plans for that hobby table. Also, by happy coincidence, this…

  • CoC’ing It Up – A Return To France with Version 2

    So I have a slight embarrassing confession to make – before last weekend, I hadn’t actually managed to get Chain of Command 2 (released in May last year) onto the board to play despite the fact I was genuinely excited for. The reason for this is pretty simple – last year was a poor one…

  • SPOTREP – Winter 2025 Is Out!

    Just a little update note – the first edition of SPOTREP (my series of articles looking at the current state of the Ultramodern wargaming space) is now out. It’s taken me way too long to get my ideas together and written down (the original post was planned to be released in October) but I’ve finally…

  • The News Stand: 10/12/2025

    It’s time for the final edition of The News Stand for 2025 as the Christmas season begins. That doesn’t mean that this edition is anything less than usual – there are plenty of previews and upcoming releases to get the Ultramodern wargamer excited. Even some stompy robots!

  • The News Stand: 02/12/2025

    Black Friday is done, December is here, which means only one thing – there are only three more editions of The News Stand before Christmas! Read on for this week’s updates – and yep, that’s a lot of Patreon updates.

  • The News Stand: 26/11/2025

    With a little delay for technical reasons (and also because of the multiple bits of news I noticed were dropping today), it’s time for the Black Friday edition of The News Stand! This edition is packed full of new releases, previews, Kickstarters and more!
