Mentioned in Dispatches Season 8 Ep 8 ~ Bryan Takes Over

25 March 2022 ~

Bryan’s back, and he’s taking over!  We let him steer the show as we talk about NATO unit quality ratings & strategic-level fantasy wargames, and no Ardwulf, those aren’t the same thing.  Tide of Iron?  Sure.  The Pacific War?  Yeah, it comes up.  Under an Iron Sky? We spent a bit of time on it.  Backing games on Kickstarter?  Why not.  Which Scandinavians are invincible?  Well, not directly, but yes, we trend in that direction.

Don’t forget, you can always catch up with past episodes on the “podcast” tab of our site.

We also talk about the designated hitter, Waterworld, drinking beer in the field, muscle memory, perfect lottery numbers, orienting maps in the wrong direction, Gary’s counter-clipping show, and pool tables.  As always, we completely made up one of those but you’ll have to listen to know which one.

Please trot on over to the iTunes page for our podcast and give us a rating – whatever you think is fair! We’re still a few reviews short of iTunes recommending us in their podcast engine, and every rating helps.  Thanks!
