- Politics injected unnecessarily
Decent wargame reviews, if a bit rambly, but one of the hosts just cannot stop himself from inserting his commie politics into almost every episode, in the form of snide remarks and asides that have no bearing or connection to the topic at hand. Your guys lost the Cold War, get over it!

I hope they continue to make many more episodes as they’r... more

This show is a valuable resource to learn about new war games in a hobby that tends to focus entirely on Games Workshop.
