Author: Jack Brussell

Founder and editor of this site, I introduce myself under the pseudonym Jack Brussell. Born in Brussels in 1991, I discovered miniature games in 2020 through Star Wars: Legion, and soon felt the urge to share insights and strategies about the game with others. That’s how Critical Hit was born in January 2022. What began as a one-man venture into Legion became a true team effort in 2025: As new writers joined the project and I explored more wargames myself, the site expanded to cover many more miniature games, reaching an ever-growing international audience.
