Welcome to episode #1 of View from the Veranda (VftV). VftV is a spin off from the Meeples & Miniatures podcast, and features Neil Shuck in conversation with Henry Hyde, editor of Battlegames magazine. In each show, we take one or two subjects as our theme, and simply ‘have a chat’ about the wargaming hobby, with these subjects in mind. In this first episode, we discuss some of the contents of the latest issue of Battlegames magazine, and also chat about why historical wargaming doesn’t seem to be as popular as sci-fi and fantasy gaming. So, pull up a chair and join us on the Veranda! Comments[1] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

about Miniature Wargames & Strategy Boardgames – is now available to
download. Following on from
playing the recently released Through
the Mud and the Blood WWI skirmish rules at Salute, this show has an in-depth
review of these great new rules from Too
Fat Lardies, and I also discuss a couple of options for figures you can use
with the game. Other reviews
include the re-launched Miniature
Wargames magazine, and I also review the new Campaign Book, Volume 1
for Memoir ’44. Finally, I take a
few minutes to discuss why I’m an historical miniatures gamer, and why it’s
such a great part of the wargaming hobby. Enjoy the show! Comments[0] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Mon, 2 February 2009 This is the first
of the new format monthly editions of the Meeples & Miniatures Podcast, and
it’s a bit of a monster. I’m very pleased
to welcome two new co-hosts to the podcast, in the shape of Dave Luff and Jere Koskela. As well as Dave and Jere, the show has two new sections. The first is ‘View from the Veranda’, where I discuss
various Miniature wargame–related subjects with Henry Hyde of Battlegames
magazine. In the premiere episode, we look back at how Battlegames magazine has moved forward in the past year or so, and
take a look forward at a couple of things to come. The second section
is ‘The Painting Shed’. I’ve had several
requests from listeners to include a hobby section about painting on the show,
so we begin a series of articles looking at all the techniques surrounding
painting miniatures. Today we concentrate on preparation. In addition to our
new sections, some of the old favourites remain. We have two in-depth reviews,
as we take a close look at Memoir ’44
and Canvas Eagles. We also spend
some time talking about the games we have been playing in the last month or so. Finally, I
announce the results of the Gutshot
Competiton. Enjoy the show!
