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

In this Episode I talk to the owner of The Wargames Holiday Centre, Mark Freeth.
Originally started in Gods Own County by Legend of the hobby Peter Gilder, the WHC stayed in Yorkshire for many years until it moved somewhere south of Sheffield.
I catch up with Mark on the history of the centre and how it has thrived in its new home near Basingstoke. With in excess of 40,000 mainly 28mm figures the games are a joy to behold and the Centre gives everyone the opportunity to play in a BIG GAME.
A great fun interview with a modern gaming great who is keeping that old school BIG GAME flame alive.
Interested in whats going on at the WHC, why not try out their website.
Hope you enjoy this one, I did. Show your appreciation by giving the Podcast a follow on Podbean.
Regards Ken

Loved the first five episodes and glad to hear you plan more. As I paint while listening it’s edged me closer to the truly big game.

Excellent episode, Mark interviewed really well and his history of the WHC filled in some of the gaps for me. Interesting fact; I played with Paul Williamson at the centre when Mike did Italian Wars, I might even have a photo somewhere 😀
