  • Exceptional

    My absolute favourite podcast on wargames. Their passion for games is contagious, i hope they keep making the pod for a long time to come! Only criticism is not talking about Empire of the Sun, which deserves to be on their collective tables :p

  • Great New Pocast

    I just received Next War Taiwan and found this when searching for a podcast covering that subject. What a great find! I’ve tuned in to 3 episodes to date and the content is great. Any fans of HotT will immediately be at home. Looking forward to more episodes on OCS, Next War and PW!

  • Some great discussion

    Thank you gentlemen for taking the time and effort to put this podcast together. Some really interesting discussions about board wargaming and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in this. However, you need to decide whether you are about board wargaming or sports. The mix doesn’t really work if you are not interested in sport.

  • New Wargame podcast!

    Thanks for taking the time to make this show. For me a grail game is any game I’ve always wanted to play or might be difficult to get a hold of.
