We have ways of making you wargame

For those of you who do not listen religiously to Al Murray and James Holland’s WWII history podcast, “We have ways of making you talk”, the latest episode was devoted to wargaming. Specifically WWII wargaming, but the guest, Nick Skinner of Two Fat Lardies, gives an overview of the whole hobby. Bear in mind neither Murray nor Holland appear to know anything about the hobby (though Murray is a modeller) the explanation is necessarily simple. It makes you think how you would explain it to a complete novice.

Anyway, we’ll worth a listen, because Mr Skinner is an engaging speaker and he talks about some very interesting games.

    1. Give it a try Keith. It’s a great podcast. Some great guests and sometimes it’s just the two of them.
