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.

Welcome to 2026 and Happy New Year.
No mucking about this year as we are straight into the first episode of the year, only 10 days in.
My guest today is Paul Mackay, a name I am sure you will recognise if you read any of the Wargames Magazines, Paul is a regular contributor to those tomes with his painting tutorials, which cover a wide range of scales, periods and styles.
Paul is a lapsed Wargamer so there is a slightly different format to the show. We get to know a bit about the man himself in the first part, before we move onto a deep dive into many different aspects of the painting part of the hobby in part 2. We round off the show with some semi serious top tips.
After the 5 hours of the Xmas Special, this 2 hour 45 episode is officially a Yarkshire Gamer short !
I hope you enjoy the episode and please take time to leave a like, a comment and subscribe to the show wherever you listen to it, it helps it to grow, after all it is free !
I'll be back in 3 weeks time with a new episode.

Very enjoyable listen. It was good to have a slightly different episode, with Paul not being a gamer as such. And looking forward to the Morris dancing.
