Links have been added to the Deseret News Review page for Firefly: The Game and Damage Report.

In this episode, Cody and Justin meet with misfortune on a space adventure, then look at Damage Report, from Break From Reality Games. But Space President Shawn may just have a thing or two to say.

Seventy years ago today Americans and their allies fought and died in the invasion of France. But for their efforts Nazi rule may well have continued in Europe for years to come. The world owes all men, whatever their nationality, who fought for freedom that day and in the many others of World War II, a tremendous debt. History is a wonderful fit with our hobby, as there are many, many tremendous games that recreate historical events. Wargames often recreate historical conflicts in ways that make the wars easier to understand and appreciate. There are many wonderful World War II themed games on the market today, far too many to mention here. Some of my favorites include Memoir '44, Tide of Iron, and of course, Axis and Allies. Today, as we remember the heroism and sacrifice of those who came before, you may want to break out one of these games in their honor.

Here is Shawn's timeless "Ode to Twilight Struggle" from our Twilight Struggle game review.

In this episode, Cody once again tangles with his arch-nemesis, and together they review For the Crown, 2nd Edition, from Victory Point Games. But this time, Evil Cody proves even more cunning.
