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

Hello again, welcome to Episode 56, the first of a double header on the Battle of Jutland, by far the largest sea borne action of the First World War and what a great guest we have to discuss it with you, Nick Jellicoe, grandson of John Jellicoe Commander of the British Fleet at the battle.
We recorded for about 4 and a half hours and it was a great discussion cover many aspects of Nicks life as well as the battle itself.
I haven't split a guest episode for a while but I had recorded this episode along with the ones with Nigel Atter and the Rapid Fire in a period of two weeks so splitting this episode will make it easier on your time and also give me a bit of a break until I record the next episode.
In this show I talk to Nick about his life as well as a most interesting chat around his fathers WW2 career. We then go on to discuss the prelude to the battle and some of the characters involved.
Back in two weeks to talk about the battle itself and its aftermath.
Until then, Sithee
Regards Ken

it’s been 10 years or more since I’ve got my WW1 Dreadnaughts out but it’s got me blowing the dust off. I was obssesd with collecting 1/2400 ships - I have British, German Italian Austrian Turkish French and USA! I was especially fascinated by the Tarranto Barrage and the Dardennels. Thanks for the reminders 🙏
