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

Welcome back to the Yarkshire Gamer Podcast with our usual Xmas Special with the Brews in the Binyard Boys, Alex Sotheran from Storm of Steel and Iain McDonald from Flags of War.
In what is now tradition I butcher a Xmas song at the start of the show so get ready for a version of Fairy Tale of New York which you have never heard before !
The show ended up being 4 hours long, but lets face it, you've got plenty of spare time over Xmas, stick some earbuds in and pretend to be asleep after a festive meal.
We tackle weighty subjects like, what the f.... is Trench Crusade about, why historians can't make their minds up (again), Crisp Butties, the demise of Twitter, Warlord Games French Lancer horse legs and most importantly which is the best Fish and Chip Shop in Skipton.
Whether you digest it in a oner or in several more digestible parts, I hope you enjoy it as much as we did recording it.
I hope to be back in the new year with the regular mix of guests, until then have a great Xmas and a Happy New Year and may all your Pike Blocks be massive !
Until Next Time, Sithee
Regards Ken

Cheers Àaron, glad you enjoy Brews, its great fun to do and also just for laughs as the Who Wants to be a Wargames Millionaire Game was a point in case 😁

Great podcast. I always love brews in the binyard. Not complaining or bitching, but just wanted to mention. I got into Napolionics through the game Sludge, which is similar to Trench Crusade. I think sometimes Historicals and Historical gamers look scary from the outside. Coming in I was afraid I would get stuff wrong so I wanted to try something less threatening. Trench Crusade might be the gateway into WW1 gaming for a new generation of Historical Gamers.

Thanks for another great podcast. Binged in one sitting while painting some 15mm SCI-FI.

Kennard Cohen you ain’t Ken! The only thing that matters in Black and White is the Grimsby Town home strip! Hope you all have a great Christmas and New Year.
