Airecon 2022 Report: Blitzkrieg Sequel ‘Dogfight’ Announced and Moon First Look
We headed up to Harrogate on Friday to bring you this podcast report from the show.
We get the exclusive announcement of PSC’s third title in the Blitzkrieg line, Dogfight. Dogfight is an innovative but simple aerial combat game that promises you that you can win the fight for the skies in 20 minutes.
Plus, MOON, the new game from Sinister Fish and Haakon Gaarder about building a new moon base, using a pick-and-pass method and some clever interactions.
And we get the scoop on Baseball The Card Game!

Call of Cthulhu is 40 years old – and to celebrate we’ve put together a low-budget low-talent actual play of the solo adventure Alone Against The Tides. We’ve used some ambient noises from ZapSplat to flesh it out, and, to give it that special something, recorded it very tired with a bit of a cold.
We’ll be at Dragonmeet on the 4th December – come say hi. If there’s something you think we should definitely check out, then leave us a review telling us exactly what that is.
NOTE: I say that an extreme success is a quarter of the skill value, when in fact, it is a fifth. Sorry!
We sit down with Chris Bissette to talk about his new Fighting Fantasy style adventure book for Troika, Down in Yongardy. We discuss his motivations for creating the game, and a little bit about the setting and The Law.
We give Troika a light roasting as well as explore its potential and why it has such a large following.
Plus, we talk about Chris’ Random Adventure Jam, using Twine to create interactive fiction, and the Rainy Day Games feature in the magazine, which he contributes to.
(I thought this wend up on Thursday last week actually, no idea which gremlins got involved to eat the file!)

We talk to Tabletop Gaming’s accidental chess expert, Matthew Vernall about Chess, chess variants, and games that are a bit like chess. Join us for our first external in-person podcast since the before times and experience the slight echo of Chris’ dining room. You’ll learn a lot about chess, and also understand what we mean when we say “bong cloud opening” and “queens go free”.
We discuss Chris McDowall’s d100 chess variants, which can be found here: https://www.bastionland.com/2020/11/d100-chess-scenarios.html – we pick some at random and review them.
We also take a diversion into Matthew’s recently played pile, including Pandemic Legacy Season 0 and mech based RPG Lancer.
We make some Speile des Jahres predictions which ended up being completely wrong, but don’t we sound confident?
Games discussed: Chess, Oh My Goods!, Seven Bridges, Root, Hive, Star Realms, Unmatched, Paris La Cite De Lumiere, Patchwork, Millennium Blades, Botanik and Thrive.
