The Meeples & Miniatures Podcast

This episode of 'Meeples & Miniatures' is the last of my "blast from the past" episodes - reviews that were originally posted as part of the 'It's time 4 games' podcast.

This show reviews Battleground Fantasy Warfare from YourMove Games. This review was originally recorded in 2006 - I have recorded some new material for this episode, bringing the review up to date with the latest news from this company.

I hope that you enjoy the show.

Cheers, Neil

This episode is the second of my 'Blast from the Past' episodes, when I republishing a review that was originally aired on the 'It's time 4 games' podcast.

The main part of this show is a review of the game 'ROBOGEAR' – along with extra comments to bring the review up to date.

In addition to this, I've also replied to some feedback, answering a question about the 'Hellboy' range of figures from Graven Images.

I hope that you enjoy the show.

Hybrid wargames appear to be in fashion at the moment, what with the recent release of 'Battlelore' and the upcoming 'Tide Of Iron'.

In this episode, I give my thoughts on the two hybrid games which are currently popular in my gaming group: 'Battlelore' and 'Commands & Colors: Ancients'.

I hope that you enjoy the show.

Below are the links for today's show. These include the full rules and first scenarios for Commands & Colors: Ancients from the GMT website, plus links to the official Battlelore website and a rules overview.

Battlelore Rules Overview

This show is a 'quickie' review of 'AT-43' from Rackam and 'Battlefield Evolution' from Mongoose Publishing. I'm not looking at the rules at this point – just the quality of the pre-painted miniatures that are available for both ranges.

Links for the ranges are available below:

Hope you enjoy the show!

A bit of a cheat, this episode, as I have republished the first audio review that I did for "It's time 4 games" - a review of the boardgame 'Doom'.

We played this game at the Scimitar club a couple of weeks ago, so it gives this show a bot of relevance - well, sort of.

Anyway, I hope you find it interesting. More to come soon.

Regards

Neil.

This show is more aimed at boardgamers rather than wargamers, as it is a session report/review of 3 games that I have recently played.

All of these games are by Reiner Knizia. They are:

Poison

Mmm Brains

Tigris & Euphrates

I hope that you find the show of interest.

Cheers, Neil
