Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 77 - Charlie Wesencraft - A Tribute
Q: Did his books have an influence on you at all?
No, I'm completely the Luddite on that, I'm afraid. I met Charlie when he reached out to me wanting to come to one of our weekends at the Wargames Holiday Center.
Episode 66 - Lorenzo Sartori - Wargaming in Italy, Dadi & Piombo
Q: Is military history popular in Italy?
Lorenzo believes that military history is not as appreciated in Italy, particularly among younger generations, and tends to focus more on games rather than the historical context.
Episode 66 - Lorenzo Sartori - Wargaming in Italy, Dadi & Piombo
Q: What sparked your interest in history and toy soldiers?
Lorenzo started collecting toy soldiers as a child, driven by advertisements he saw in magazines, and later engaged in competitive wargaming around the age of 20.
Episode 51 - Xmas Brews in the Binyard 2023
Q: What Wargaming trends do you predict for 2024, scales, eras, 3D printing? Anything really?
A reduction in the number of instructions in Perry Miniatures box that's going to be a big thing.
Episode 51 - Xmas Brews in the Binyard 2023
Q: If you had to play a fantasy war game, what would it be? And would you go big battle or skirmish?
I'd probably go with Lord of the Rings because it's closest to historical.
