Mentioned in Dispatches Season 9 Ep 3 ~ Replacing Games in Your Collection

23 September 2022 ~

Brant, Bryan, and GOTY’21 Jim tackle our first listener suggestion of the season, as our man Adam asked about what games have replaced others in our collections, as well as which ones we’ve hung onto even though newer games are out there.

So with that as a guidepost, we take a look at a few of our own games that have migrated in / out of our own collections.  Or, in the case of Bryan, newer ones that just contributed to the ever-growing collection, since you can check out any time you want, but you can never leave43.

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

So yeah, let’s talk about Ardwulf & the La Bat series, PanzerBlitz, paying The Biscuit, Tiller-series games & their new home at Wargame Design Studio, Lock ‘n Load Tactical and other games from LNLP, Close Action and why BattleTech players are so disingenuous about wargames, tanks in infantry-focused games, infantry in tank-focused games, whether or not Scythe is a wargame, and the pain that is Blood Bowl on the tabletop.
