  • The science of terrain

    Absolutely great! So helpful to set up war games with well proportioned terrain. As some one that does Falklands war gaming I find it hard to make line of sight in my games effective but this just helped A ton to do just that

  • Great Podcast but…..

    Great podcast guys. One suggestion though, please, please, please put in the information area for the specific podcast every rule set you talk about and what website to go to to for possible purchase. Time stamps also in the podcast info where the discussion starts would also be nice. Thanks.

  • Plastic v Metal

    Love the pod but i think they missed the most important point which is the resale value of metal over plastic.

    Metal being very much higher £5 to £10 a figure plastic being whatever you can get which usually is not much!!!

    TY

  • Fantastic Podcast!

    I always look forward to the next podcast from the WSS team. News relating to all genres of tabletop miniature wargaming, light hearted banter between friends as they discuss the hobby and interviews with people who love the hobby or work in the tabletop gaming industry.

    It feels like you are sitting in the same room listening to a bunch of mates talk about the hobby. Interesting and entertaining 👍

  • I love this podcast

    This is my favorite wargaming podcast. I only wish they produced episodes more often- say twice a month. It’s just as rare a treat as the magazine, which is regrettable.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

WSS103 - A Hail of Bullets
Q: What makes Kugelhagel different from other wargames?
It's designed to be fast-paced with a focus on military simulation rather than strict historical accuracy, allowing players to experience dynamic strategies and unit cooperation.
WSS103 - A Hail of Bullets
Q: Why did you choose card activation using playing cards?
To create a more dynamic and engaging game experience, breaking away from the traditional 'I go, you go' system while maintaining excitement with a randomized order of activation.
WSS103 - A Hail of Bullets
Q: How do fog markers work in the game?
They create uncertainty on the battlefield by hiding the true position of units until players reveal them, which simulates the real-world confusion of engaging in combat.
WSS97 - Themes and Questions
Q: Why as Wargamers encountering a new set of rules is our first thought, oh, I could use this for, insert period outside the designed scope to play? Is this a good thing?
It’s a natural inclination for gamers to adapt rules for their favorite periods, as they enjoy integrating mechanisms from various games for their own use.
WSS97 - Themes and Questions
Q: How do you separate historic gaming from the knowledge of history?
Most players can enjoy both the historical aspect of the game and the gaming experience. The key is to not impose rigid standards on others while enjoying historical accuracy.
