Suddenly everyone sees and knows too much! When in doubt, roll the Daleks out. As Season Twenty-Two of Doctor Who comes to a close, the fate of the series rests in the balance. Producer John...
New post in the Doctor Who Project, tagging along with the Sixth Doctor, Peri, and, um, Herbert as they get caught in a "Timelash" involving blue androids, Avon from Blake's 7, and a lizard professor who is mad about not getting tenure . . . #DoctorWho chrisbaer.net/mp/2024/10/02/…

Doctor Who Project: Timelash
Purposeful travel, not aimless wanderings. Though it often feels to viewers that the Doctor's adventures follow one after the other, significant gaps can be inferred between certain stories on...
New post on Movement Point, a very quick overview of the latest Advanced Squad Leader product from those mavens in Millersville, @MultiManPub, ASL Arnhem 2024, a four scenario pack focusing on the Red Devils on the 80th anniversary of Market Garden. chrisbaer.net/mp/2024/09/20/…

New post on Movement Point, examining the latest Advanced Squad Leader offering from @MultiManPub, Doomed Battalions 4th Edition. Far more than just reprinted Dutch trucks, this new edition turns ASL Core Module 11 up to eleven . . . chrisbaer.net/mp/2024/09/07/…

Back in 1998, as Avalon Hill prepared to meet that great creditor in the sky, they published a few final titles, among them Doomed Battalions, a core module for Advanced Squad Leader bringing...
New post in the Doctor Who Project, sauntering through Sevilla and space stations alongside "The Two Doctors," as the Sixth and Second Doctors match wits with Sontarans and Servalan. Come for the nostalgia, stay for the paella . . . #DoctorWho chrisbaer.net/mp/2024/09/02/…
New post in the Doctor Who Project, examining "The Mark of the Rani" with the Sixth Doctor and Peri, who, alongside the Master, more than meet their match in the Rani, a renegade Time Lord who has a knack for turning people into trees. #DoctorWho chrisbaer.net/mp/2024/08/02/…

Doctor Who Project: The Mark of the Rani
It'll be something devious and overcomplicated. Every great hero comes matched to an equally great adversary: Holmes and Moriarty, Superman and Lex Luthor, Tom and Jerry, Kirk and Khan. For the...
New post on Movement Point, walking along the Roads to Rangoon in ASL Action Pack #19, the latest scenario-and-map pack for Advanced Squad Leader from @MultiManPub. With 3 maps and 10 scenarios, it's an approachable yet deep journey into the PTO. chrisbaer.net/mp/2024/07/26/…

New post in the Doctor Who Project, doing a little TARDIS repair with the Sixth Doctor and Peri as they stumble into a bit of "Vengeance on Varos," a planet with a serious reality television addiction and a lethal outcome for poor ratings. #DoctorWho chrisbaer.net/mp/2024/07/02/…

Doctor Who Project: Vengeance on Varos
When did they last show something worth watching, eh? By 1985, Doctor Who has, in keeping with the essentially protean nature of the main character, embodied many genres: historical romps, action...
New post in the Doctor Who Project, hopping between London and Telos, of all places, with the Sixth Doctor and Peri as they try to prevent the "Attack of the Cybermen" to kick off Season Twenty-Two. Halley's Comet makes a guest appearance. #DoctorWho chrisbaer.net/mp/2024/06/02/…

Doctor Who Project: Attack of the Cybermen
This looks familiar. John Nathan-Turner takes no chances with Season Twenty-Two, rolling out those crafty bio-mechanical cyborgs as the marquee attraction to open the Sixth Doctor's first full...
New post in the Doctor Who Project, introducing Colin Baker as the unsettled Sixth Doctor as he and Peri confront "The Twin Dilemma," which is mostly about giant hungry space slugs instead of twins speaking a secret planet-moving math language. #DoctorWho chrisbaer.net/mp/2024/05/02/…

Doctor Who Project: The Twin Dilemma
That hardly sounds in character. Each new Doctor's inaugural tale must fulfill two objectives, often at odds with each other. In addition to providing a rousing introduction for the new title...

New post in the Doctor Who Project, taking a look back at Peter Davison's run as the Fifth Doctor, a twenty-story journey filled with loss and change and just a bit of cricket. #DoctorWho chrisbaer.net/mp/2024/04/02/…
New post in the Doctor Who Project, bidding the Fifth Doctor farewell as he visits some rebellious androids in "The Caves of Androzani," ending in his demise from a toxic rash and the arrival of a replacement who is tetchy from the get-go. #DoctorWho chrisbaer.net/mp/2024/03/02/…

Doctor Who Project: The Caves of Androzani
Curiosity's always been my downfall. After twenty stories, spanning nearly two and a half years, Peter Davison hangs up the Fifth Doctor's cricket sweater in "The Caves of Androzani" (Story...
New post in the Doctor Who Project, taking a holiday to the "Planet of Fire" with the Fifth Doctor and Turlough, who finally gets a first name right as he leaves. Peri shows up to take his place, while a tiny Master plots another crazy scheme. #DoctorWho chrisbaer.net/mp/2024/02/02/…
New post on Movement Point, diving into two new Advanced Squad Leader releases from @MultiManPub, the massive Twilight of the Reich and Winter Offensive Bonus Pack #15. Definitely not for the factory-phobic or the overlay-averse . . . chrisbaer.net/mp/2024/01/25/…

New post in the Doctor Who Project, wherein the Fifth Doctor, Tegan, and Turlough hesitantly take part in the "Resurrection of the Daleks," which seems like a bad idea, causing Tegan to call it quits. Oh, and Davros dies, but it doesn't take. #DoctorWho chrisbaer.net/mp/2024/01/02/…

Doctor Who Project: Resurrection of the Daleks
It seems I must mend my ways. Given producer John Nathan-Turner's iconoclastic approach to Doctor Who, the most surprising element of script editor Eric Saward's "Resurrection of the Daleks" (Story...
New post in the Doctor Who Project, spelunking the tunnels beneath a crashed colony ship on "Frontios" with the Fifth Doctor, Tegan, Turlough, and sentient pillbugs capable of reassembling the TARDIS like a jigsaw puzzle. #DoctorWho chrisbaer.net/mp/2023/12/02/…

Doctor Who Project: Frontios
I think this joke's gone far enough. The degree to which Doctor Who has changed since Peter Davison took on the title role can best be seen through the lens of Christopher H. Bidmead's "Frontios"...
New post in the Doctor Who Project, taking a brief field trip to Little Hodcombe in 1984 (and 1643, sort of), as the Fifth Doctor, Tegan, and Turlough witness "The Awakening" of, um, a giant head, accompanied by Cavaliers and Roundheads. #DoctorWho chrisbaer.net/mp/2023/11/02/…

New post on Movement Point, tearing the shrinkwrap off Action Pack #18 for Advanced Squad Leader, new from @MultiManPub, celebrating ASL Oktoberfest with fourteen scenarios and two new maps for everyone's favorite tactical wargame. (Well, mine at least!) chrisbaer.net/mp/2023/10/14/…

Ohiofest: ASL Action Pack #18 (MMP) Released
To most people, Oktoberfest conjures up notions of Bavaria, beer halls, and bratwurst, and all fine contributions to human culture they are. To aficionados of Advanced Squad Leader, however,...
