This vidcast looks at historical miniature releases for w/e 14th August
2009, and includes new releases from manufacturers such as Warlord
Miniatures, Campaign Game Miniatures, Hat Industries, HLBS Co and
Gorgon Studios.
In this episode of Meeples & Miniatures, I chat with a man who is a playtester, rules author and reviewer, but is still probably best known for being part of the team of Wargames Journal - Rich Jones.
Welcome to a much-smaller-than-originally-intended episode of the Meeples & Miniatures Podcast.
In this show, I talk about the Society of Ancients - I chat with Richard Lockwood about the Society's aims and objectives and we chat about Battle Day.
I also review Slingshot - the Society's newsletter/magazine
Welcome to Episode 53 of the Meeples & Miniatures Podcast.
In this show, I review Battleground Historical Warfare, the new wargame from Your Move Games, and I interview Chad Ellis of YMG about the development process behind the game.
I also chat about the Blood Bowl computer game, plus the usual podcast and gaming news.
This show is a bonus episode of the Meeples & Miniatures Podcast, recorded at 'The Other Partizan' wargames show 2009.
It includes interviews with Scarab Miniatures, Hasslefree Miniatures, Musketeer Miniatures, Gripping Beast, Empress Miniatures, West Wind Productions and Baccus Miniatures.
As well as choosing my favourite historical miniatures releases of the previous week, I am now producing a show which looks back at the Sci-Fi & Fantasy releases.
Can you believe the summer is almost at an end? Everyone is
planning for ‘going back to school’, England are preparing to finally
lose the Ashes series – and I finally get to go away on holiday!
However, as a parting summer gift, I’ve uploaded Episode 52
of the Meeples & Miniatures podcast. This is a look back at what I’ve been
doing over the summer – the UK Games Expo and Manorcon mainly – but with a bit
of extra chat about my favourite Gen Con highlights (I almost felt like I was
there) and even some chat about a computer game that would make a great
miniatures game.
I hope you enjoy the show, and look out for lots of new
content coming in September.

Neil Shuck & Henry Hyde are back, discussing more
subjects of interest to wargamers.
In this show, we follow up on a listener respone to Episode
1, and discuss one of the possible reasons why gamers do not game historical
wargames - the whole issue of the morality and ethics of wargaming.
Is it ever wrong to game a particular conflict? Is it ever
wrong to game a particular nation?
This is an emotive and potentially controversial subject,
but we hope you enjoy our discussion.
Join me as I
celebrate the 50th show of Meeples
& Miniatures – the podcast about Miniature Wargames & Strategy
Boardgames – with a packed programme of gaming goodness!
I revisit World
War I, with another look at WW1 minis in 28mm that you may have missed (I know
I did!) and I also review Stout Hearts
& Iron Troopers, the new scenario pack from Too Fat Lardies.
My in-depth review
this month is of the new Napoleonic wargame Waterloo,
designed by Martin Wallace
There is also a
large number of reviews in the show, including products from Wargames
Illustrated, HLBS Co, Knuckleduster, Spartan
Games and Gripping Beast.
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.
Show 49 of Meeples & Miniatures – the podcast
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.
In packed and
varied show this month, I chat about my recent visit to the Hammerhead show,
and review the latest releases for Impetus
and UnchartedSeas.
I’m joined again
by Henry Hyde, and we discuss the
latest issue of Battlegames
magazine, Trafalgar from Warhammer Historical and the recent sale
of Wargames Illustrated.
Finally, I chat to
Colin Hagreen, one of the South
London Warlords club, about the logistics of organising Salute.
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.
Show 45 of Meeples & Miniatures – the podcast
about Miniature Wargames & Strategy Boardgames – is now available to

Review of 2008 –

treat as I am joined by special guest Henry Hyde, editor of Battlegames

miniatures gaming hobby.

of Meeples & Miniatures – the

Well,
after some delay due to the holiday period, the next show is here, and
hopefully it has been worth waiting for.
The
main feature of this show are the ‘Nuts’ rules from Two Hour Wargames. Not only
do I review the rules themselves, but also the brand new Campaign Book ‘Pieper
at the Gates’, which was released just before Christmas.
I also
discuss a few bits of news,and chat about playing Battlestar Galactica: The
Board Game and Duel in the Dark:Baby Blitz
I hope

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.
In packed and
varied show this month, I chat about my recent visit to the Hammerhead show,
and review the latest releases for Impetus
and UnchartedSeas.
I’m joined again
by Henry Hyde, and we discuss the
latest issue of Battlegames
magazine, Trafalgar from Warhammer Historical and the recent sale
of Wargames Illustrated.
Finally, I chat to
Colin Hagreen, one of the South
London Warlords club, about the logistics of organising Salute.
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.

Review of 2008 –
Part II
In this, the
second of my shows which look back at 2008, you are in for a bit of an aural
treat as I am joined by special guest Henry Hyde, editor of Battlegames
Magazine. Together, we discuss several of the major events of the year in the
miniatures gaming hobby.
Show 43
of Meeples & Miniatures – the
podcast about Miniature Wargames & Strategy Boardgames – is now available
to download.
Well,
after some delay due to the holiday period, the next show is here, and
hopefully it has been worth waiting for.
The
main feature of this show are the ‘Nuts’ rules from Two Hour Wargames. Not only
do I review the rules themselves, but also the brand new Campaign Book ‘Pieper
at the Gates’, which was released just before Christmas.
I also
discuss a few bits of news,and chat about playing Battlestar Galactica: The
Board Game and Duel in the Dark:Baby Blitz
I hope
you enjoy the show!

Welcome to Episode 53 of the Meeples & Miniatures Podcast.

I also chat about the Blood Bowl computer game, plus the usual podcast and gaming news.
This show is a bonus episode of the Meeples & Miniatures Podcast, recorded at 'The Other Partizan' wargames show 2009.
It includes interviews with Scarab Miniatures, Hasslefree Miniatures, Musketeer Miniatures, Gripping Beast, Empress Miniatures, West Wind Productions and Baccus Miniatures.
As well as choosing my favourite historical miniatures releases of the previous week, I am now producing a show which looks back at the Sci-Fi & Fantasy releases.
Can you believe the summer is almost at an end? Everyone is
planning for ‘going back to school’, England are preparing to finally
lose the Ashes series – and I finally get to go away on holiday!
However, as a parting summer gift, I’ve uploaded Episode 52
of the Meeples & Miniatures podcast. This is a look back at what I’ve been
doing over the summer – the UK Games Expo and Manorcon mainly – but with a bit
of extra chat about my favourite Gen Con highlights (I almost felt like I was
there) and even some chat about a computer game that would make a great
miniatures game.
I hope you enjoy the show, and look out for lots of new
content coming in September.

Welcome to a much-smaller-than-originally-intended episode of the Meeples & Miniatures Podcast.
In this show, I talk about the Society of Ancients - I chat with Richard Lockwood about the Society's aims and objectives and we chat about Battle Day.
I also review Slingshot - the Society's newsletter/magazine
Neil Shuck & Henry Hyde are back, discussing more
subjects of interest to wargamers.
In this show, we follow up on a listener respone to Episode
1, and discuss one of the possible reasons why gamers do not game historical
wargames - the whole issue of the morality and ethics of wargaming.
Is it ever wrong to game a particular conflict? Is it ever
wrong to game a particular nation?
This is an emotive and potentially controversial subject,
but we hope you enjoy our discussion.

It includes interviews with Scarab Miniatures, Hasslefree Miniatures, Musketeer Miniatures, Gripping Beast, Empress Miniatures, West Wind Productions and Baccus Miniatures.
As well as choosing my favourite historical miniatures releases of the previous week, I am now producing a show which looks back at the Sci-Fi & Fantasy releases.
Can you believe the summer is almost at an end? Everyone is
planning for ‘going back to school’, England are preparing to finally
lose the Ashes series – and I finally get to go away on holiday!
However, as a parting summer gift, I’ve uploaded Episode 52
of the Meeples & Miniatures podcast. This is a look back at what I’ve been
doing over the summer – the UK Games Expo and Manorcon mainly – but with a bit
of extra chat about my favourite Gen Con highlights (I almost felt like I was
there) and even some chat about a computer game that would make a great
miniatures game.
I hope you enjoy the show, and look out for lots of new
content coming in September.

This vidcast looks at historical miniature releases for w/e 14th August
2009, and includes new releases from manufacturers such as Warlord
Miniatures, Campaign Game Miniatures, Hat Industries, HLBS Co and
Gorgon Studios.
In this episode of Meeples & Miniatures, I chat with a man who is a playtester, rules author and reviewer, but is still probably best known for being part of the team of Wargames Journal - Rich Jones.
Welcome to a much-smaller-than-originally-intended episode of the Meeples & Miniatures Podcast.
In this show, I talk about the Society of Ancients - I chat with Richard Lockwood about the Society's aims and objectives and we chat about Battle Day.
I also review Slingshot - the Society's newsletter/magazine
Neil Shuck & Henry Hyde are back, discussing more
subjects of interest to wargamers.
In this show, we follow up on a listener respone to Episode
1, and discuss one of the possible reasons why gamers do not game historical
wargames - the whole issue of the morality and ethics of wargaming.
Is it ever wrong to game a particular conflict? Is it ever
wrong to game a particular nation?
This is an emotive and potentially controversial subject,
but we hope you enjoy our discussion.
Join me as I
celebrate the 50th show of Meeples
& Miniatures – the podcast about Miniature Wargames & Strategy
Boardgames – with a packed programme of gaming goodness!
I revisit World
War I, with another look at WW1 minis in 28mm that you may have missed (I know
I did!) and I also review Stout Hearts
& Iron Troopers, the new scenario pack from Too Fat Lardies.
My in-depth review
this month is of the new Napoleonic wargame Waterloo,
designed by Martin Wallace
There is also a
large number of reviews in the show, including products from Wargames
Illustrated, HLBS Co, Knuckleduster, Spartan
Games and Gripping Beast.
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.
Show 49 of Meeples & Miniatures – the podcast
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.
In packed and
varied show this month, I chat about my recent visit to the Hammerhead show,
and review the latest releases for Impetus
and UnchartedSeas.
I’m joined again
by Henry Hyde, and we discuss the
latest issue of Battlegames
magazine, Trafalgar from Warhammer Historical and the recent sale
of Wargames Illustrated.
Finally, I chat to
Colin Hagreen, one of the South
London Warlords club, about the logistics of organising Salute.
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.
Show 45 of Meeples & Miniatures – the podcast
about Miniature Wargames & Strategy Boardgames – is now available to

miniatures gaming hobby.
