It has been a year since I laid the foundation for a new UDB in EDCE. I dabbled a bit with the Falklands map set to get a feel for if this would work and I got positive feedback from that experience. It was this time last year I truly committed to starting this set…
This is the final and conclusive game of our 2019 tournament. This was the longest and hardest fought of the three, requiring a solid three days to complete. It was the only one to result in no capitals being taken by another player. It may not go down as one of our most indecisive or…
Week Two saw an equally competitive game with all six players opting to participate in the follow up. There are some minor changes to the starting locations. This game would see air power become the deciding factor in victory as well as the return of infantry slogs. In the end it didn’t matter who chose…
Our opening session saw six players attempting to take control on the Meer Sea. This is the first time in several years we will have every playable slot filled with a human opponent.

I made a quick website update today due to some expiring domains and certifications. I took the time to perform some cleanup on old domains I no longer use, including the old NOE domain. I have been monitoring traffic and it was not used in over 9 months so I assume at this point everyone…
I don’t want to go an entire month without making a single post so here is a quick update. Due to some renovations and an uptick in recent business travel, free time has been limited. This week marks the end of the renovations which have prevented me from accessing my main work station. With the…
As I mentioned on September 8th, I am turning my attention to making a udb. It’s an ambitious one at that. Rather than make a lot of posts, I’ve decided to keep my head down and see how far I can get. I’ll reveal more about it as time goes on. One important thing to…
