Customer Reviews
Excellent Wargaming Podcast
I’ve been listening since the very first episode. The game reviews are excellent.
I find that I am in general agreement with the rankings that have been applied to various war games. Specifically, I’ve played GCACW, LOB, OCS, the US Civil War, and Empire of the Sun.
I also enjoy the book and podcast recommendations as well as the rpg discussion.
Highly recommend!!
Lounge back, listen and learn
For a board gamer who wants to get into war games, but didn’t know where to start, this podcast helps me find my way. And it’s a pleasure to listen to. The passion and knowledge they both share for these games is contagious. I enjoy the war game guessing game, the discussion around what they’re playing, the deep dive into one game each episode and also really like their other chatter- expect discussion around cocktails, historical war books, game cons, and more.

Learning About Historical Conflicts While Gaming
If you enjoy playing war games or are thinking about trying them out, please give this podcast a try. They are well spoken, each episode is well organized and cover a plethora of topics. You’ll hear about their thoughts on old and new war games which will help you make your own educated purchases. They are responsive to listener emails. Finally, I also enjoy their discussions on related books on various historical subjects.
