There’s been a lot of talk about Collectible Card Games (CCGs), Collectible Minis (CCMs), and Collectible Constructible Games like Pirates and Transformers and Star Wars on the blog.
You just have to look at our Collectible Cards/Miniatures category to see the 26+ articles on these games. The articles have been relatively positive and in spite of all the hooplah it is easy to forget some of the obvious flaws in these types of games.
Therefore we’ve borrowed a poignant issue of the great webcomic Dorktower. Hope you enjoy it and please be sure to visit Dorktower for all of the issues. John Kovalic does a great job with it and I your visits to his site help him get ad money. Click below to see the webcomic.

I’m sorry for the delay in sharing this article with you. Someone else indicated they’d write it but I’m picking up the slack.
Torg went into its second week last Tuesday as Murf and I completed the first adventure. Before reading further you may wish to read Torg: Tuesday Game Review. We had just defeated some Spitfires and an angry mechanic that tried to down our sea plane captained by the French NPC. Finally we arrived at our destination of Orrosh, the Horror Realm.
In Orrosh, near Indonesia, we landed in the water and had to swim to the nearby Vortex. We suspected the Vortex of causing the Earth to stop turning. Suddenly, an evil shark attacked our plane. Its red glaring eyes piercing us with each hit. It caused Murf to fall into the water, where it took a bite into his leg. Thankfully it wasn’t fatal. My scholar, Nathaniel Cornwell III, stayed in the plane trying to reenact the climactic end scenes of Jaws.

The newest Update and Clarifications (formerly called Rules Clarifications) came out this month. We have have made them available at http://wargamingforums.com/downloads/War_at_Sea_Clarifications.pdf (the pdf requires the FREE Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the file. You can get Acrobat Reader for FREE HERE).

As players know subs, aircraft, and battleships are 3 of the most used, some would say overly used, models in the game. Every fleet seems to have a lot of subs, or a lot of aircraft, or a lot of battleships. These dominate the games and some would argue they unbalance it.
