In this episode, we look at ten upcoming wargames (historical games, board games) and new releases for 2023 or later. We overview the game and talk about exciting elements of the design.

One Correction
8th Air Force, by Fortress Games, is not about the Battle of Britain, but about the WW2 bombing campaign against Germany. My apologies!
