At Miniature Wargaming Labs Brian and I started with a plan of what games we were going to play for the year and invest our limited resources of time and money on those games. Of course we added new games to the plan. In this episode we discuss our progress and why we add new games.
In this episode we interview Nic, the creative mind behind the skirmish game Planet 28.
This is a short episode where Brian and I talk about what we listen to while hobbying.
In the first season Brian told us the sad tale of his failure running a once popular Infinity tournament. Now he is back...and this time it is personal. He wants Retribution. Learn more about the Rio Grande Retribution 2024.
Brian and I meet up again so he might regain me with the stories of his adventures in the Chicagoland area.
Jon joins us on his way to Adepticon 2024 where he is showing of the third and final expansion of Black Powder Red Earth: Spearhead. In this expansion the Mustard Gas est muy caliente.
Brian and I catch up as we talk about getting ready for Adoption 2024. Some day I will make it.
Julian with Enemy Spotted Studios stops in again to discuss his new game BLKOUT. Set in the Killwager universe BLKOUT pushes the timeline forward and gives you the feel of Edge of Tomorrow and Elysium in a tabletop miniature wargaming experience.
I talk to Sam and Jack about their Renaissance Skirmish game Force of Virtue. If you have Warhammer Old World miniatures you are already half way there; and the rulebook is up for free download so that the rest of the way. You do not have an excuse not to play.
Brian is back from LVO. Did he actually go to LVO - kinda. But, he shopped and competed.
We meet up with Gaddis Gaming to talk about The GUARDS system pushing into the Cold War starting with the Second Indochina War (aka Vietnam War).
No plan survives first contact with it designer.
It is that time to gawk at a new Warhammer 40K edition. But what does it mean for, and do for, the local stores?
Brian goes over how he did on the tournament scene at Adepticon. He did well enough that he had plenty of time to demo and play test a bunch of games which he will go over in this episode. A lot of them were from Black Site Studios.
Brian regales us with stories of his insatiable need to consume by walking through all the sings he bought and acquired during his trip to Adepticon 2023.
In this episode we turn inward and have Brian regale us with hie preparation for Adepticon.
In a follow on to our last episode where Brian and I complained about Games Workshop and Wizards of the Coast we will complain a little more, because that seems to be what people want to hear. What is wrong with you? Then I will bemoan the management of Onslaught, but Brian and I will praise Boarding Actions. And thus the cycle continues. We will then discuss the need for every game to have an intro version of itself to pull people in. I call it the two beer rule in that an intro game should take the amount of time it takes a person to consume two beers.
Brian and James sit down to talk about Games Workshop and Wizards of the Coast ability to make buying their products hard. But, we keep buying them so have the really made any mistakes?
3D prints free and accessible for the masses? That is Windham Graves business plan? It reminds be of the worst excesses of the French Revolution. The thought that someone wants to make it so that anyone can get the tank, terrain, or what not for free done in a way that even a librarian can help print it off for any child or gamer on a publicly valuable machines. A brazen assault on the gatekeepers of wargaming. It might cause one to spill their claret if such an idea were to ever spread. With such a nonsensical activity in mind I had to interview this designer.
We catch up with Duncan Rhodes and Roger at the have returned from their Frontline Gaming sponsored trip to the Las Vegas Open. This was our opportunity to find out how the dynamic duo work together to deliver their content and their wildly successful second Kickstarter.
