Mentioned In Dispatches Season 13 Ep 4 ~ The Worst of Wargaming
4 October 2024 ~
Time to shoot up some truth serum and sharpen the knives! Bryan wanted to talk about the “worst” of wargaming, so Brant dragged Jim & Mike into the fray and here we go ––
Worst game name? Computer game? Rulebook? Category of games? Which game was so bad the 1st edition was unplayable as written7? There’s plenty of rough & tumble thoughts here to go around, so jump into the discussion and let us know what some of your “worsts” are.
What did we have to say about Hearts of Iron or Maneouvre or I, Napoleon or Fields of Fire or Balance of Power. What do 60s classic rock songs have to do with this episode? Why is(n’t?) Mike angry at the CSRs and is this the only time Jim will ever agree with him about solo wargaming? Is there actually a Napoleonic game that Jim hates worse than the Ridley Scott movie? Have we asked enough questions? Why aren’t you listening yet?!
And yes, we do get off-topic – we have tradition to uphold! At this point, Jim has dropped from the 3rd hit to 4th on Google, when searching “Teugn-Hausen”. But . . . one of their videos of the battle is up to 5th, so he’s got 40% of the top hits on the world’s biggest search engine when you go looking for a major Napoleonic battle!
We love your feedback, over on the iTunes page for our podcast or on Spotify, or even Amazon or Castro, drop us a rating and let us know what you think. Thanks!
