The driving force behind Critical Hit

An avid Magic: The Gathering player, I got into miniatures games when I wanted to bring a spatial dimension into my strategic thinking. I love exploring every kind of system: rank-and-flank, skirmish, vehicle games, arena games, and more. These games are so rich that it's a shame to see so many players never look beyond Warhammer 40,000. My articles aim to be practical and useful, with angles you won't necessarily find elsewhere: something to inspire you, help you improve, or simply give you a change of pace.
