Tolstoi, thanks again for doing this. As always, it's awesome to have this companion to the podcast.  :bigthumb:

Your welcome! It's fun and I learn a lot about interesting games I never knew existed. The only down side to expanding my horizons is realizing there is no way I could possibly play even a fraction of the games you all discuss during the podcast.

Mentioned in Dispatches Season 8 Episode 7
Connections Online 2022

Hey, two listener's guides in one day!

Well, that's not entirely true. This podcast was focused on Connections Online and mentioned only a couple games. They were the usual suspects, (think Advanced Squad Leader), and I decided we didn't need a list of only a few games you can find in other guides. Brant provided links to some of the other items mentioned during the podcast on the webpage for this episode, so if you don't read his description there, you should do that.

Instead, I thought I'd share the reference to a presidential debate from 1984. You'll need to listen to the podcast to understand why this is here. :)

Witty quip from Pres. Reagan during the 1984 Presidential Debate with Mondale

Dammit, nevermind. That's not the base game, but still a good deal.

Yeah, I'm still tempted to get it at that price. I might be able to use the scenarios with other systems.  8)

David Ensteness stops by to talk about the newest version of ESR.  Even if you're not a fan of the game, it's a great listen b/c David's a fun guest.

And Jim gets a new t-shirt design :)

It was great to hear about all that's planned for Origins this year.  I won't be able to make it out again but I'm pretty hopeful for 2023.
