5News 6 regiment

It’s been a busy pretty damned slow week for the regiment; here’s what you might’ve missed!

Reminder than #UnboxingDay is on hiatus until 2025, when we’ll re-evaluate its potential return

Recapping a pair of previous stories from the last few weeks ––


We don’t normally make a big deal out of our Patreon, which helps us keep the lights on here, largely because we’re kind of sheepish about asking people for monetary support.  So this is probably the only time this year you’ll see us bring it up other than thanking people on our podcast.

Some other Patreon-funded creators to look into? Ardwulf, My Own Worst Enemy, Designers & Dragons, Beyond Solitaire. Got some others you happen to like?  Feel free to pimp them in the comments below!

We were planning on our big site migration last week, but, well . . . ‘things’ happened.  We’re getting back on schedule now, and we’ll soon be migrating the main Armchair Dragoons site and forums, to a new physical server.  Expected downtime is no more than 2 hours or so, but we all know who that goes.  This is a technical update that’s probably a year overdue, so it definitely needs to happen this Summer.

We’ll give folks plenty of warning through our social channels (Mastodon, Facebook, Twxtter, Instagram, Threads) and on the site before we make the move, but we’ll be dark for a bit while we pack up the digital boxes and cruise around the corner in the data center to some newer/snazzier hardware.

  1. Hi Brant. There’s another new game that recently came out, in the Italian magazine Para Bellum (issue XIII): La Squadriglia degli Assi. It’s WWI air combat over the Italian front, with all the different Italian and Austro-Hungarian planes that participated. Designed by Andrea Angiolino and Gregory Alegi, it’s an updated modernized version of their game of the same name that came out in 1994, which was a precursor to Wings of War (which begat Wings of Glory). Has English rules, charts and player aids. Elegant playable system which nicely represents planes of different speeds and manueverabilities flying around while firing at one another (and eliminates the dreaded Wings of Glory “fudge factor”). It’s got nice graphics, and is unique in providing comprehensive coverage of the air war over Italy. Noble Knight has it.
