And we're not above shamelessly begging for votes for "Best Podcast"
Any chance THIS is the year we make it from the initial screening into the actual final vote nominees?
Some other great wargaming podcasts in there to stuff the ballot box for, like Beyond Solitaire, History on the Table, Wargames To Go, and Homo Ludens. Go vote for them all!

The Modern World / Fast Carriers 1941-1977
« Last post by bayonetbrant on April 10, 2024, 04:52:03 PM »Rocky digs into a unique naval wargaming experience from SPI's classic 1970s days
Revolutionary Risk with The Fast Carriers: Air-Sea Operations, 1941-77
In The Fast Carriers Dunnigan ambitiously gives players three levels of responsibility in a game design that, admittedly, has both reasoned abstractions and flaws in some game models. While the rules and interaction of game subsystems are perhaps not as streamlined as they could be, The Fast Carriers nonetheless offers fascinating insights into designer intent—and execution—of an exploration of a revolution in warfare using a “paper time-machine.”
