Iain thought it would be a good idea to record outside, but it didn't go quite according to plan. Dusting themselves off they get to the business of reporting on the tabletop news of the last couple of weeks. They cover Warhammer tournaments, Heroquest pre-orders, fake pokemon cards and much more on this episode of Brainwaves.
