I don’t usually link to the Quarter to Three podcasts, mostly because the most interesting stuff for me is learning about the other people on what has become my internet home.
But this week, Tom Chick talks to Morgan Gee (aka John E. Motion) about Close Combat. It’s well worth a listen because Gee/Motion does a [...]

Ian Bowes and I are playing out the Battle of Cynoscephalae in Field of Glory. He’s still learning the system, but he wanted to play another MP game and kindly asked that I join him. I gave him the Romans and took the Macedonians for myself.
