Another session of Burning Banners.  This time running the solo campaign from Paper Wars  Issue 109!  The photo shows the map with various Orc markers on it.  The Paper Wars issue is lying on top of the map board.  Player boards for Orcs and Oathborn, blessing cards, token tray full of tokens, dice, and the Rule book round out the shot.

Time to try the Solo campaign in Paper Wars Issue 109 for Burning Banners! It is called The Sunlit War, and it pits the Oathborn Dwarves against the Orcs! A short scenario, it's only 1 Year long, 3 Turns. It is setup to use the basic rules. #compassgames #burningbanners #paperwars #wargame #fantasy

Set up Burning Banners on Vassal. This is usually the point where I go: "Sheesh, I'll just go set it up For Real on the table!" I'm always amazed, and underprepared, for how much Real Estate modern board games take up! Wargame or otherwise, Virtual or Reality. #compassgames #burningbanners #vassal

Started with Raiders of the Deep by Ian B. Cooper and #CompassGames. Captain Hans Becker brought the U-19 Type U-Boat U22 to the british isles to sink some freighters. Unfortunately almost all torpedos missed and we had to finish the attacks with the deck gun.

I've been wanting to try EAA again. As much as I love the big map & all the chits, setting it up takes a lot of time & effort. Then I remembered that I have Vassal, so let's try it that way! #battleofthebulge #compassgames #wargaming #vassal #boardgames #solitairegames #singleplayer #ardennes #WWII

The CSS series is a rework of MMP's Grand Tactical Series. The Little Land is a bit more restrained in scope than the others, and... $100 off, so Mark bought himself one, and a copy for me as an early present.

Tomorrow, going to meet with friends and give Burning Banners from Compass Games a try! I set up the intro scenario. Now I probably need to read the rulebook. And get a bigger table! That is only 1 of 4 maps!
