We too at NDNG are also fans of some of the games we cover and today was a treat for me. I speak with David Freer from Wargame Design Studios, which now hold the John Tiller Games catalog and so much more. We talk about the whole series which spans multiple decades and conflicts. If you want to know more about these great games you do not want to miss this one. 

Yet another great interview with an author from Casemate Publishers! We have Timothy Fitzpatrick whose book, The Long Shadow of Waterloo is one not to miss. The book is about,  as Tim told me, How Waterloo changed history and how history changed Waterloo.
