On Friday 20 November 2020, after much delay and procrastination, Leutnants zur See Dale Mickel, Michael Koznarsky and Mark Waddington traveled back to August 1914 and the U-boot flotte of the Imperial German Navy using Compass Games’ Raiders of the Deep by Ian B. Cooper. Play of the game was supplemented by one of the […]
The Gig Harbor Irregulars have continued to support social distancing and responsible gaming by playing Night Fighter Ace by Compass Games via Vassal and Zoom. The squadron had assembled over the past three weeks to fly more sorties in the late winter/early spring of 1944 against worsening odds – the British have been more successful […]
