Russ Lockwood’s AAR Monthly Journal – October 2024

About Russ Lockwood

Happy Halloween. It’s scary good to get back to wargaming on a big scale with two multi-player, multi-table games as well as the one-on-one games. And let’s not forget the news section where I further link Taylor Swift to wargaming (sorta). Plus the usual cornucopia of book reviews. Enjoy.
