On Episode 18 of the Line of Sight Gaming Podcast, Bret and Jaden are here
to discuss one of the most important, and least discussed, aspects of any
miniature wargame - the length of a game! Why does the length of a game
matter? We're glad you asked! We think it's one of the most fundamental
reasons that a game can or cannot attract new players, one of the most
crucial aspects of the new player experience, and a way for games to
radically differentiate themselves from their competition. Come check it
out on this week's episode of the Line of Sight Gaming Podcast!
On Episode 17 of the Line of Sight Gaming Podcast, the three co-hosts come

are completely separate hobbies and shouldn't be as fiercely tied together
as they often are? Guess you'll have to come listen to this weeks episode
of the Line of Sight gaming podcast to find out!
