Listen "Episode 24: – “Mutual Attraction”"
Episode Synopsis
In episode 24 we speak with Jason Weiser of Military Miniatures magazine about why certain periods attract more players than others. We discuss our thoughts on why WW2 & Napoleonics always claim the top spots in popularity. Also, which period regularly comes in at number three in the top five periods, what other periods are in the top 5, and why do they fluctuate in and out of the top 5. Military Miniatures Magazine is conducting a charity auction to benefit the International Rescue Committee which is currently working closely with those displaced by the conflict in Ukraine. They are looking for donations items that would be of interest to wargamers (i.e., figures, rules, terrain, etc.) that they can auction off on their forum site. The auction will be held on the Military Miniature Forum (linked below) from April 1 to 30. For questions or to participate, contact [email protected].
