This episode features an interview with David Thompson, co-designer or designer of many series including Undaunted, Pavlov's House, War Chest, and General Orders: WWII.

As well, we take a look back at 2023 with a few best of lists and polls, and check in on what's up for 2024.

And of course, there's all the news, newbie tips, kudos and rants you'vew come to expect.

There's been lots happening in the hobby and at our website. Here's a roundup of many of the things mentioned in episode 27:

  • GMT Talks is a new video podcast from the industry giant
  • A text and photo version of my review of Task Force from VUCA
  • New game from Operational Studies Group: Napoleon's End
  • Votes for Women won a ton of awards and now is getting a reprint as the first run sold out. Maybe not your definition of a wargame, but a great game all the same.
  • Stalingrad: Verdun on the Volga (one of my all-time favourite games) is getting a reprint in ATO magazine.
  • I interviewed Volko Ruhnke for the ACDC event. Volko showed off his new game, Coastwatchers, about the intelligence units of the same name in the Pacific in WWII. Watch the video on youtube.
  •  I converted my review of Vuca's Task Force podcast piece into a web review, so check it out if you'd like to see some photos.
  • Revolution has two new Blind Swords games up for pre-order, as well as a new solitaire game from Mike Rinella and a second printing of Stalingrad: Verdun on the Volga.
  • Here's a free scenario for Men of Iron from Petr Mojžiš.
  • Join us via this inviteto our discord server. Newbies more than welcome!
