God’s Own Scale Podcast

Rules author and wargamer Chris Pringle joins me today to talk about why the Russo Turkish War isn't played as much as it should be, why not many people know that there was a mid 19th century revolution in Hungary and just how many words beginning with the letter 'B' we can fit into one sentence. Take a look at his blog here the Bloody Big Battles Facebook group here and the Groups I.O. here   Back to normal scheduling after this epsiode!   Keep talking about 6!  

A lovely chat with Tom from Little Wars TV about his gaming, rules writing and approach to the hobby.

An interview with Emmy Award winning film producer, Mark Fastoso. Please note I get the episode numbering wrong udring the episode. This is most likely episode 53 and not 55. I did lose track of the numbering system a while a go. What can I say? Numbers are hard.   Mark talks about his rules writing with the likes of Fireball Forward Fire at Sea and Ruthless, all of which can be found at the same link. He goes onto talk about his forthcoming Youtube channel, Mark's Games Room and also his professional life as an award winning documentary film producer.   Also mentioned in the show is Gary Wills' Youtube vhannel, which can be found here   Thanks as ever for your continued support and kind words following my return to the microphone. Up next is Tom McKinney from Little Wars TV talking about his rules writing and hobby adventures.

As promised, here is the interview with Richard Tyndall and Laurence Baldwin, co-organisers of the Partizan shows. We talk about it's history and development into what is widely regarded as the show that displays the pinnacle of the hobby with regards to both participation and demonstration games.

In the greatest comeback since the comback kid came back, God's Own Scale is back. I wont say it's bigger, better, stronger etc; because it's not. It's just back!   Lots to come with lots planned, but no deifinte schedule and NO Patreon.   Hopefully you'll jump back on board the God's Own Scale train for al listen.    Stay safe and keep talking about 6!   * Please note I'm using a brand new microphone and and I suspect my levels are a bit off. I've done the best I can and lesson learnt for future epsiodes.

Henry Turner and Robert Dunlop return to talk about the Turner Miniatures Great War miniatures kickstarter.   Henry is in Mexico and his voice is quite echoey but hopefully it doesnt spoil your enjoyment of the conversation.
