Going strong without miniatures
This is the first full year of the War Without Minis blog. I have to say I'm doing fine without miniatures.
Instead, I opted for generic counters. This gave me the flexibility to dabble in lots of eras, such as:
Semiquincentennial
I began gaming battles to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. So far, I gamed:
I should have Quebec up soon.
Dominion Of
This was my big trend of the year. I discovered Dominion of the Spear in early January and never looked back. I purchased and gamed with many of the other titles in the series. This has become my default set of rules.

Sports
I got into sports gaming.
- This summer, I did a tournament using major league teams from 1922 using Fast Inning Baseball.
- I did some fantasy gladiator fights featuring Nocan the Barbarian.
- Recently, I used Fast Drive Football to play the 2025 college football playoffs and have started a league using my own fast play football rules.
Prognostications
Traditionally, I begin the year with prognostications for my gaming in the upcoming year. How did I do for 2025?
- Micro Dungeon - I expected to finalize my quick play dungeon crawl / fantasy adventures rules. I abandoned them in January. WRONG
- More Killian - I planned to continue the adventures of Ser Killian, my main Micro Dungeon character. I played one adventure then dropped him. WRONG
- More GADD - Not a stretch here, and I did jump between many eras, as detailed above. BUT, I settled on a single series of rules - Dominion of. We'll call this HALF WRONG.
- Counter Consolidation - I wanted to consolidate all my counters into a single box. It didn't happen; in fact I went the other direction. WRONG
3.5 wrong out of 4. Well, that was an epic fail!
