Trying to tell your significant other what they should buy for you this holiday season? Or are you trying to shop for the gamers on your list and just coming up short with good ideas? Hopefully this episode will both entertain and inform you - and if it doesn’t, we really don’t care! Wait, no, that isn’t what we mean, we truly care about our listeners! (all five of you…)

We hope you have made it to at least one gaming event this fall - but if you haven’t then live vicariously through the Lead Pursuit team as they talk about attending MilleniumCon and Historicon. Or just listen to hear what excuses Steve makes about losing his bet with Jon Russell!

Doug has been hard at work with a Not-So-Secret project with Ben Chee for DVG Games. But rather than give you all of the details up front, Doug and Ben talk about the current Kickstarter that DVG is running for their Warfighter system: Warfighter North Africa and Warfighter Mediterranean. Maybe after they talk about that for a bit, they’ll start talking about fighter jets and the topics Lead Pursuit usually covers!

Check out and back the DVG Warfighter Kickstarter here:

Upcoming Events

MilleniumCon: https://www.millenniumcon.info/

Okay, okay, we know the joke is getting old, but Doug and Steve recap the Siege of Vicksburg convention that was in Mississippi, not Virginia. Plus they talk about their views on the new Warlord Resin versus 3D Printed models and what is on the horizon for ROC works.

Upcoming Events

MilleniumCon: https://www.millenniumcon.info/

If you’re like the LPP team, then you can’t get enough jet air combat games! Since Blood Red Skies: Vietnam isn’t progressing - Doug turns to an outsider for his jet fix. The game’s creator Matt Brachi discusses his project Cold War Combat:ACM, the first game in a series that is really more of an ecosystem. The Beta rules and several 3D Models are available for download on the Cold War Combat Patreon, or you can be a cheap-ass and just listen to this podcast to get the details on the game! (No really, that pack of one-off 3D printed Hungarian bombers cost you more than 6 months of support for this game - go throw Matt some cash!)

(Go support the game for $5 a month! You spend that much on decals in a week!)

That Warlord Games video has you back on the BRS train, huh? Okay, so maybe they could have straightened a few wings, but at least we saw some models, right? Brett, Doug and Steve talk about what they have seen from Warlord for the upcoming Midway set, and hopefully leak some good info that you haven’t already heard re-hashed a thousand times… while you’ve been waiting for the starter set to release… for over a year!

So where the heck has the Lead Pursuit Podcast been? Do you remember we said we were moving? Yeah, no, you didn’t really listen to us… But we’re back! Wait, please, someone applaud that we’re not dead by the side of the road like a raccoon with a balloon! For this episode, the team catches up, brings Chris back on, and tries to act like they actually are participating in the hobby - even though they aren’t!

Digging back into the episodes from before Gathering of Eagles - the team gets together to talk about the work that Brett and Steve have done to bring their Campaign system together. Covering the various phases and interactions in the new system, Brett gives a detailed look at how it will influence the play of your Blood Red Skies game.

Running off the rails again, Doug and Steve talk to CB Stevens, the author of the Crisis in Kashmir campaign book for Check Your 6. If you’ve taken a look at the Lead Pursuit scenario pack for the 1965 India-Pakistan crisis, then this interview will give you some valuable insight in how scenarios can be modeled for this conflict. That or you could just listen for the random stupid comments from Doug and inevitable ripostes from Steve!
