Using GMT's new Ventrilo voice server (with permission), Jon, Paul, and Martin discuss GMT West and the benefits of online and convention gaming vs. face to face.

Paul interviews Ed Beach, designer of show favorite Here I Stand and many others.  Topics covered include some great info on gaming with family members at the WBC, and the much anticipated followup to Here I Stand, Virgin Queen.

Paul and Martin discuss the state of the podcast, the lost episode, and GMT's generous offer to unemployed gamers (including a short interview with Tony Curtis).  Jon makes another guest contribution, Paul relates another famous quotation to wargaming, and Martin continues his segments on the history behind CDG events.

Programming note: The audio quality seems to be continuing to improve, but Martin was a little under the weather while recording and sounds pretty scratchy.

I combined three more segments into a single file: one on art in wargames, one on politics in wargames, and the last on ETO games. Enjoy.

I combined the three segments I did on Command and Control in wargames into one file. Enjoy.

A couple of people have asked that I post the short segments on wargaming that I do for the Dice Tower podcast. Here is the first of them, on visiting the Antietam battlefield.

Paul and Martin discuss Napoleon, by Avalon Hill and Columbia Games, and Consimworld Expo.  Jon makes his first guest contribution on the subject of multiplayer wargaming, Paul relates another famous quotation to wargaming, and Martin starts a segment on the history behind CDG events.

Programming note: the number of monster games set up at Consimworld Expo was grossly under-reported by Martin.  Where he says "over 40", a recount showed over 80.

Paul and Martin discuss Avalon Hill's Up Front and Attack Sub (the former scheduled for an upcoming re-release by MMP).  Paul talks more about the title of our podcast, and Martin gives a short bio of Bill Mauldin.

Second episode, slightly better sound quality.

Paul and Martin discuss gaming likes and dislikes (Martin forgot his dislikes, and will make them up in a later show), as well as a lengthy segment on Here I Stand from GMT Games.

First episode, fairly low sound quality.

Paul and Martin discuss the Avalon Hill (and now Valley Games) card-driven wargame Hannibal: Rome Vs. Carthage.
