Insta: https://www.instagram.com/cato_friday_productions/ Email: mailto:ladthesquire@gmail.com Brigadier is a GURPS Fourth edition podcast, covering a campaign played between some of my friends and I. Our campaign is set during the Spanish Civil War, a war in Spain that started with the election of a socialist Popular Front government. The players take on the role of foriegn volunteers, who were recruited by Communist Parties the world over. Join us as we tell the tale of our Brigadiers!

    S2E4 - A Can of Beans, And Other Booby-Trapping Materials (Apr. 2-4, 1937)

    On this episode of Brigadier, our characters find themselves hunting down their first cache, almost getting killed by a German Springmine, and rejoicing when it's a dud. The cache contains a Lewis Gun, something which will be of great use in their continuing fight. They also meet Jacobson, the elusive drunkard-by-night-bombsmith-by-day himself. Then they go to look for a cache which was far from well-hidden, and encounter a Nationalist sniper. In all, not much gets done, but some changes have been made so that everyone will know what time to show up on Zoom.

    S2E3 - You Can Call Me Al (Apr. 1-2, 1937)

    On this episode, Sam is gone, and the characters make their way to Luarca, to link up with resistance fighters. They were told that the resistance in Luarca was thriving, although this quickly proves not to be the case.  The Nationalists diverted almost 10,000 soldiers to the city, nearly doubling its population. This occurred nearly 2 months ago, and the resistance was mostly snuffed out. Although this "resistance" has been reduced to a few dozen fragmented cells, each with 5 men or less, Alfredo and Mateo Abascal are hopeful that they can rebuild it to give the Nationalists hell in the region ahead of the Soviet advance in the north.  The party, however, is skeptical. The resistance here lacks functional weaponry, knowledge of small-unit urban tactics, and any real support. What they do have, however, are specialists. Alfredo is a gunsmith, and there's a man named Johnson in one of the other cells. Johnson is rather reclusive, but he does occasionally make himself known by blowing up local officers' cars.  They still have guns, they've just been hidden away, Mateo assures the party. It's clear that this is a million-to-one chance, but if the party can pull it off, Luarca should collapse just as the Soviets come rolling through, leaving a hole in the Nationalist defense that could allow for greater exploitation. Then, Mateo sends the party after some other resistance members who have escaped reprisals. The party collects two of them, and shortly after, the Zoom breaks down.

    S2EA A Trial by Fire (Non-Continuous and Non-Canon)

    On this episode, we test out the tactical combat setup, which is simply a webcam and a battlemat, but still seems to work. Sam forgets that you can do a move and attack, and grenades are rather ineffective.

    S2E2 - A Farewell to Some Good Men (Mar. 23, 1937)

    On this episode, we say goodbye to perhaps both the most and least important characters on the podcast, Danil Novak and Juan-Carlos Castille. It's a short episode, because we spent the last bit working on a new character for Ry. By the way, we have a rig for doing tactical combat so combat will become much more like normal rpg combat.

    S2E1 - Liberation and Broken Arms (Mar. 16-20 1937)

    Sorry that it's been a while y'all. Things were hectic around the holidays for all of us and this was the first time we could actually get together to record. Hope the episode was worth the wait. On this episode, the Soviets liberate the Italian-administrated prison camp where our Brigadiers have been held since last Christmas. After this, they head on up to the frontlines of the Southern Advance, are held in reserve, and get into a firefight with some Italian-supplied partisans. Both Danil and Carlos are hit in the arm by a 7.35x51mm Carcano bullet, in their right and left arms respectively, leaving these limbs rather useless.

    Political Appointments (Sorry for the late episode!)

    Sorry for the late episode, y'all. I was swamped this weekend. On this episode, the acquisition of a tank leads to the appointment of the group to a platoon of tank killers. I'm keeping this description short, rather than putting a lot of time into it, so y'all get an episode soon.

    Bonus: A Strange Episode

    We couldn't do a normal episode this weekend, but Cato got everyone together to discuss the ramifications of the tank radio. Digressions abound, and Cato has to do a lot of work now.

    A Tank Named Warsaw

    On this new (and, may I say great?) episode of Brigadier, we return a Nationalist's body and get shot at for it, repel our assailants, and obtain a PzKpfw. I Ausf. A, plus, Cato realizes that the malfunction number he's given is too low for modern weaponry (but we just turn that into a house rule), we are all almost brought to tears by Ryland's excellent roleplaying, and we focus much more on the dramatic.  Have any questions, comments, concerns, or perhaps the p̷͈̀̄ȓ̷̥͑e̸̙̰̕ć̸̜̎ĭ̷̮̦͊o̷̺̠̓̕ư̷̖͉͗s̷̩̤̾̅ ̸͉͋̚s̸̟̠̾̈t̶͉̦̏̀ā̷̬̊t̸̢͙͒̿ ̴̤̔b̶̦͊l̵̙̜͊o̵̧͙͑̓c̶̩̗̍k̸̦̈́̚s̵̟̒? Then drop us a line at ladthesquire@gmail.com. Oh, also check out the semi-active Instagram a fellow listener created to rep the show. It's a good way to get in touch. @cato_friday_productions. We're gonna try to do more on that ASAP!
