Wargaming Recon

Are Painted Minis Essential to Miniatures Wargaming?

Inspired by Sam Mustafa’s column in Wargames, Soldiers, and Strategy issue 71 (Buy the PDF) Jonathan editorializes on the the necessity, or lack thereof, of painted miniatures. As a current non-painter Jonathan approaches the question of “What exactly is our hobby?”

Karwansaray Publishers sought responses from wargamers about Sam’s column. They hit up The Miniatures Page and the Wargames, Soldiers, and Strategy Facebook page.

In Jonathan’s editorial he discussed his 1/72 scale (20mm) Imperial Roman project for Hail Caesar. Photos of the project can be found on the Wargaming Recon Facebook page.

Mailbag

We shared an interesting cat photo on our Facebook page. Visitors were asked to caption it. Many funny and unique captions were submitted.

Listener Andrew asked a question about the history of American Wargaming. Jonathan suggests listeners try episodes Russ Lockwood Game Designer & Editor and More Secrets of Wargame Design for a glimpse into American wargaming’s past.

How Jonathan Became a Wargamer

Listener Andrew submitted a question on Facebook asking how Jonathan got into wargaming. In this episode Jonathan answers. The tale begins with Warhammer 40k, touches down at War at Sea, then finishes with Henry Hyde and historical wargaming.

Stone Ape Podcast

#19: New England Gaming Vegas with Jonathan Reinhart

Listener Andrew’s question on our Facebook page:

I dabbled in GAMES WORKSHOP as a teenager, but was turned-off the hobby by all the cheating and arguments. Then university friends got me addicted to FULL THRUST, a spaceship wargame. Since then I moved into DBA, and heavily into FLAMES OF WAR. I’ve dabbled in a lot of rules and periods, but I prefer rules that are fast yet realistic.

How did you get into wargaming?

Wargame Holidays Centre with Jon & Diane Sutherland

Two of the nicest people in wargaming make guest appearances for the first time on this show. The amazing Jon, and his incredible wife Diane, Sutherland share their love of wargaming.

Jon shares why his book Mega Wargames is a must buy, this holiday season. There’s a reason it made our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide. Diane paints a picture of wargaming heaven otherwise known as the Wargame Holidays Centre on the Mediterranean island of Crete.

Don’t forget that this is the final episode of the 2013 recording year. Thank you for taking the time to invite us into your lives throughout the year. We hope you have enjoyed the guests, the stories, the laughs, and the thoughts we shared.

The first episode of 2014 will release on January 20, 2014. We’ll also be back with our customary year in review blog post. Thank you and Happy Winter Veil to each of you.
