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.

Hi everyone, welcome once again to Yarkshire Gamers Reet Big Wargames Podcast.
Today sees a continuation of our round the world trip with a visit to New Zealand and my guest Mark Strachan.
Marks Blog 1866 and all that has been a popular stop off point for many wargamers over the years, it covers many things but specialises in the Franco Prussian War and other similar wars around that time.

We look at Marks personal hobby as well as his time working in the wargames industry and the hobby in general in New Zealand. Hope you enjoy it.
Episode 79 will be a new show format for Yarkshire Gamer as I take you all back in time to 1983 and the first ever edition of Miniature Wargames. I've got some great guests and an item from the magazine (kindly donated by its current owner) which I hope to raise a few quid for the Bradford Burns Unit by auctioning it off.
So until next time,
Sithee
