Join us as the team talks about what they would want in a BRS addition to Konflikt 47, Warlord Games’ Weird War title. Will Emperor Chambers hear our petitions as he sits on the Golden Throne? Only time will tell…

Oh no - everyone better buckle up for this episode. Doug and Steve are both on a rant about the aftermath from the Adepticon BRS Tournament. Listen to them talk about the FAQ, Board sizes and High Cover shenanigans. We’ll throw out the disclaimer now - NONE of these rants are personal! So if you get called out by name in this episode - don’t take it personally!

If you are looking for a great book about Marine Helicopters during the Global War on Terror, look no further! Doug talks with Isaac Lee, the author of Hangar 4, about his career retrospective of a life spent flying the CH-53E Super Stallion for the US Marine Corps. Doug and Isaac dig deeper into the missions, mindset and morale of the Marine pilots and crews that flew the aircraft and what ultimately gave them the “guts to try”.
Hangar 4 is available on Amazon at:

We know that you all have tons of 28mm tank models just laying around. They’re probably still in the box like Matt’s A-4 Skyhawks! If you are looking for a way to get them on the table in a less infantry-centric game than Bolt Action, look no further than Achtung Panzer from Warlord Games. Doug, Steve and Brett sit down with Roger Gerrish, the developer who brough this “club game” to life for Warlord and helped them in their evil plans to SELL MOAR TANKZ!
(we joke)
(only a little)
But check out this great song from Raubtier that will make you want to run out and BUY MOAR TANKZ!

Hobby Mojo: You’re in the groove- at a building/painting a mini, making/writing a list or scenario, or, in Doug’s case, “mathing” some incomprehensible hex and cardboard counter “game”. Everything is clicking, the miniature goes together perfectly, the paint job is smooth, a list or scenario just writes itself, or, in Doug’s case, all the maths math up, and the hexes move 2” to the left or right. In any case, the hobby gods are pleased, and everything is going to plan!
Join LPP as we discuss having, maintaining, and recovering that Hobby Mojo, so that you can do that hobby voodoo you do so well! -
House Rules, what could be a more divisive topic in gaming? For this dive into the abyss of Grognard Opinion, the team has invited Tom Castanos from the ever loquacious Anything But a One, Adventures in Historical Miniatures Wargaming podcast to share in the pain! (Try saying THAT podcast title 10 times, rapidly, while gargling salt water, and standing on one foot.)
But anyway, listen in as the team and Tom run full tilt into the windmills of Grognard Gatekeeping, and continue to wage the #WarOnGrognards!

Are you one of those players who feels Great Dive is the throw-away trait? Do you wish someone smarter and better looking than you would do an analysis of how you could use this trait in your Blood Red Skies games? So do we! But since we can’t find such a person, you’re stuck with our pathetic team blundering their way through an analysis of the Great Dive trait, the doctrines that it pairs with and the aircraft that use the trait. Good luck, and we hope something that we say in this episode is actually useful in your next game!
