Episode 32: Interview with Lon Weiss and Brigade Games
Q: What is Lon's advice for newcomers entering historical wargaming?
Lon advises starting with a skirmish period, choosing a rule set they enjoy, buying a small squad of figures, painting them, and playing to learn before committing to larger armies or complex, multi-session games.
Episode 32: Interview with Lon Weiss and Brigade Games
Q: Lon, what led Brigade Games to be named Brigade Games and how did the name come about?
Lon explains that early naming considerations favored military connotations and an alphabetic advantage; Brigade Games felt fitting as a brand that signals military gaming and discipline, with practical, marketable resonance.
Episode 31: Interview with legend Rick Priestley
Q: How did your experiences at Games Workshop influence your approach to game design?
Working at GW shaped my understanding of publishing, production, and the balance between creative ambition and commercial viability, while reinforcing that great games come from focusing on play value within practical constraints.
Episode 31: Interview with legend Rick Priestley
Q: How did you get started in the hobby and what drew you to historical wargaming?
I started as a historical wargamer in my early teens after being exposed to library books and clubs; meeting peers like Richard Halliwell and early local clubs helped forge my path into the hobby and industry.
Episode 31: Interview with legend Rick Priestley
Q: What is your favorite Wargaming ruleset and why?
Warmaster is my favorite, because it codifies the feel of large-scale battles with a simple, elegant mechanic that translates well across scales and inspired later systems like Black Powder and Hail Caesar.
