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 ”Go Big or Go Home” 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 don’t think so, so get on board the Big Game Train and let’s ride it down a 30 foot table. Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer

After last episodes Paintbrush Geek Out its time to return to the regular format of the show with one of the hobbies premier rule writers.
Dave Brown broke into the world of wargames rules with his Napoleonic set General de Brigade and since then has developed successful sets of rules in both WW2 and the ACW, with other taking forward the basic system into the AWI, Seven Years War and late 19th Century Europe.
Dave has recently joined forces with the toofatlardies to reinvigorate his earlier rules and we now have another holy trinity of O Group, Pickett's Charge and General de Armee.
We cover all the usual sections and have a good laugh through the quiz and Wargames Room 101.
We have a quick chat about the forthcoming GdeA2 but mostly its me asking him how long it took to think of the name.
Its a long one, over 3 hours so make sure you have a couple of pints of milk in so you can keep the brews coming !
Next episode will be my Golden Jubilee so I will be having special guests Nick Skinner and Rich Clarke on to celebrate their remarkable achievement of getting two rule sets in the final of the recent World Cup of Wargames Rules.
Until then, Sithee
Regards Ken

One of the most enjoyable chats and I’ve heard Dave a couple of times. Congratulations Ken. You got much new material out of your subject. Enjoyed the mutual Quarrie heritage refs and details about creating ’flavour’. Never read Chandler from cover to cover...! 😳🤣😉

Think you’ve confused Peter Laing and Bill Lamming but you are forgiven! Great chat as usual.
