A wargaming Podcast covering that modern day rarity, The Big Game. No 10 figures a side on a 3ft square table here old chap. All scales, all periods, so long as its BIG. You know what they say āGo Big or Go Homeā We, my friends have gone Big ! Each episode will look at a different aspect of the Big Wargame and do a little bit to bring them back into fashion. Is it a coincidence that Warlord games bring an Epic scale box set out just after this podcast went to air ! I donāt think so, so get on board the Big Game Train and letās ride it down a 30 foot table. Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer

Welcome to Episode 34 of The Yarkshire Gamers Reet Big Wargames Podcast and hopefully the first of 3 December 2022 Episodes.
Today I am talking about the ultimate Napoleonic Wargame, Leipzig. Somewhat overshadowed in the UK by Waterloo but the numbers of troops and casualties are eye-watering and subsequently the number of figures needed to play this game are like wise not for the faint hearted.
But before we get into the Big Topic I chat with my guest Rohan Saravanamuttu about his wargaming history, his thoughts on Big Battles and of course he takes part in the Yarkshire Gamer Quiz.
In addition to the Quiz, there's a great wargame pet hate locked away in Wargames Room 101 and a new Desert Island Wargame feature.
We then move onto refighting Leipzig and Rohans new book published via Helion called Leipzig The Battle of the Nations - A Wargaming Guide and take a deep dive into his process for writing the book, his choice of contents and of course the contents.
The book can be bought directly from Helion on the link below
If you fancy seeing more of the book I did a flickthrough review on my Utubes ChannelĀ
Next episode will feature the wonderful Henry Hyde who is relatively new to the hobby š so I'm sure you'll give him a Reet Big Yarkshire welcome. That should be out in 10 days to a couple of weeks.
So until then SitheeĀ
Regards KenĀ

Another Interesting episode. Looking forward to Henryās opinion of Avocados and mushy peas, and I bet he eats Cod!

Thanks, I think most Wargamers dream of getting a book published in the hobby, Rohan has done a great job.

A really interesting interview. Particularly useful to understand Rohanās approach to his book.
