September 4, 2008 - After seemingly "participating" in two turns of the Avalon Hill online Guadalcanal ampaign, Brother Brian is dropping out to spend more time on other gaming efforts. It was frustrating to play a total of 3 fleet actions and 5 ground battles and not see the effects of your results in the campaign. Neat idea on Avalon Hill's part ... not too well executed.

August 30, 2008 - As part of Turn-2 in the Avalon Hill online Guadalcanal Campaign, Brother Brian completes two solo games of Axis & Allies War at Sea via the MapView game system. For more info, check out the following After-Action Reports.

August 15, 2008 - The opening shots of the Axis & Allies Guadalcanal Campaign have begun with the clash of Imperial Japanese soldiers and US Marines in the dense jungles of the Solomon Islands. Follow the action via these recently posted MapView game files and After-Action Reports.



August 9, 2008 - Brother Brian and son, Ben, play the Agincourt scenario in their first game of BattleLore. This cool game by Days of Wonder uses the same command and control mechanics as Command & Colors Ancients.

We had a great game that went down to the wire with three banners claimed on each side. Victory finally went to the French with a last ditch effort charge of medium infantry. The playability of this game makes for a qucik, fun, challenging melee game that I much prefer to Warhammer Fantasy. I wonder about the possibility of using these rules with 15mm historical minitaures for different periods of history?

August 7, 2008 - Axis & Allies Guadalcanal Campaign begins using Axis & Allies Miniatures and War at Sea game systems.

June 14th, 2008 - PSC & Brother Tom host "Overlord-08" a 1750 point Normandy Campaign themed late war Flames of War Tournament. This will be a Qaulifying Event for the US Nationals.

January 19th, 2008 - PSC & Brother Tom host "Wolfkrieg-08" a 1500 point late war Flames of War Tournament

Hail Fellow Wargamers!

The Burgess Brothers started miniature wargaming nearly three decades ago. Over our lives, military service and careers have kept us largely separated for 20 of those 30 years but we have always made a point of wargaming whenever we could get together. This site is in part an effort to rekindle that early gaming enthusiasm and to share it with our wargaming friends.

For the most part we started with old ESCI 1/72 scale ancients glued on strips of cardboard using very simple homegrown rules. From there we expanded into 15mm & 25mm metal collections from various periods and multiple game systems.

So, welcome to a small part or our world and come back often as we continue to expand this site with new ideas and future projects.

Brother Tom is retired from the Amy and still works at Ft Knox, KY and games in the greater Louisville, KY area while Brother Brian is retired from the Marine Corps and still works at Quantico, VA and games in N.Va area.
