We realize that you find it hard to believe Doug and Steve can actually read - but in this episode they bring you an interview with Mike Peters, one of the authors of the book, Bomb Group. The book chronicles the experiences of the 381st Bomb Group operating out of Ridgewell during the Second World War. Of course Mike is a wargamer as well, so the team manages to get off track plenty of times!

This week the team sits down with Mike and Don from the Adepticon team to talk about what 2023 holds for Historical gaming at Adepticon. Of course the team gets off track and talks about a lot of other stinky gamer topics besides just historical games - so suck it up, buttercup!

According to our Retail Statistics department, many of you actually listened to what the Lead Pursuit Team suggested for Holiday Buying last year! Either that, or we’re totally making up the fact that we have a Retail Statistics department and that we’ve done any analysis! Either way, tune in to this episode to figure out what to buy those gamers on your list - or the people you really don’t like to game with, but are obligated to purchase a gift for.

Okay, we know Steve isn’t exactly the historical authority here, but that is what guests are for, right? Listen as Brett and Steve talk to someone who actually IS well-versed in the history of the P-40 series of aircraft! Plus the guys will talk about how the P-40 plays and some tactics to pair with it in Blood Red Skies.

In an episode guaranteed to offend every segment of the BRS community, the team takes on how pilots are portrayed in the game. Whether it is how pilot-based traits are extrapolated to airplanes, or Doug and Steve’s discussion of gatekeeping in BRS - there is bound to be something to make you angry. If so, please take it out on the team via social media, and be sure to not like our podcast and to leave us a negative review! Or better yet, just join us in the Blood Red Skies Readyroom on Facebook and insult us to our digital face.

Are you as confused about the new P-38 stats as the LPP team is? Listen to Steve, Brett and Doug break down where the P-38 has been in BRS, and where the new Beta statistics are taking it. Don’t worry, you’ll only be mildly confused listening to these three break it down by stats, traits and gameplay!

Want to get the inside scoop on what the team will be running at Crucible? Brett, Steve, Casey and Doug all talk about what each of them will be running for aircraft, doctrines and what theater cards they want to get with the roll-off. If you think you are going to gain some game-winning advantages from these buffoons, you will be sadly disappointed! (But you ought to listen, anyway, just to laugh at the team.)

What the heck has been going on with Lead Pursuit? If it wasn’t bad enough they’ve been slow to release podcasts, they take too much time in this episode to talk about all of the games BESIDES Blood Red Skies that are taking up their time. But at least Steve gives his debrief of Historicon and Brett talks about what is new with BRS cards and lists for Crucible in Orlando. Perhaps you won’t totally be put off by this episode - but odds say you will!
