Description
Join Andy, Ed & Tom three friends who also happen to be middle-aged lifelong gamers which play a lot of table-top games with the odd dalliance into board games, card games, RPG'S and computer games but with a bias towards historical war gaming as they chat all things hobby related.
We try to keep the chat positive and offer what each of us do to make the hobby as enjoyable as possible to us.

Apologies for a slight dip in audio quality, Tom’s mic gave out after 30 seconds of recording so we had to restart with a back up that in editing was found to be a bit iffy
