Naval battles! How cool are naval battles and how much cooler would it be to incorporate them into your game? 

In response to a prompt from Rufus the Rust Monster - I talk a little about The Broken Sword and how it can inspire some maritime adventure and mass combat - then I take some call ins backing up over the last few episodes before giving an update about where I've been.
