Mentioned In Dispatches S15 E10 – On Target Sims and Flashpoint Campaigns: Cold War

vendredi 21 novembre 2025 • Durée 01:09:34

21 November 2025 ~

With yesterday’s launch of the latest Flashpoint Campaigns game, Cold War, we wanted a visit with our buddies from On Target Sims to talk about the changes in this game, the challenges of developing games on Cold War-era combat, how far you could stretch the system, and what lessons they learned along the way.

Brant’s joined this week by James Sterrett, as they interrogate Jim Snyder and Rob Crandall, and really, it’s mostly a reunion for the gang since they used to all work together running events at the Origins War College and still collaborate quite at bit on the Wargame HQ, too. And speaking of War College events, here’s the AAR moment referenced around the 43:30 mark. And if you think Rob should audition to be a play-by-play announcer for televised golf tournaments, let’s just say you wouldn’t be the first one to think that

Mentioned In Dispatches S15 E9 – Wargame Design Studio Sword & Siege Crusades Interview

vendredi 14 novembre 2025 • Durée 01:07:24

14 November 2025 ~

Brant & Jim are joined by (only a few of) the Riches of Wargame Design Studio to talk about their latest series of games – The Sword & Siege series – that covers medieval warfare

As always when Jim is present, or pretty much any time we record a podcast, things do get off-topic a bit, but always focused on Wargame Design Studio. We get a preview of what’s coming later this month, along with some behind-the-scenes looks at the research process. 3D graphics? Solo vs AI gaming? Updates to the WW1 games? We make an attempt to pester Mr’s Hamilton and Walker with these and more.

Mentioned In Dispatches S14 E12 ~ Whatever (!)

vendredi 18 avril 2025 • Durée 01:11:06

18 April 2025 ~

Brant, Jim, and Mike just talk about games – mostly wargames, some classic computer games, some good, some bad, and everything in between!

There’s no real agenda here, we’re just babbling about random wargame stuff, from ooooold computer wargames to upcoming battle anniversaries to the SALUTE show over in London.

vendredi 11 avril 2025 • Durée 01:13:13

11 April 2025 ~

Brant & Jim are joined by first-time Dispatchers Achilles & Robert to talk about Adepticon 2025. Minis, minis, and more minis, with all sorts of Star Wars, Battletech, and WH40K everywhere, and some occasional real battles too.

What did our guys enjoy? What surprised them? What loot did they bring home? Coolest thing they so? How many solo games were being played? And why were there Muppets everywhere?!

Mentioned In Dispatches S14 E10 ~ Wargame Awards

vendredi 4 avril 2025 • Durée 01:09:20

4 April 2025 ~

Rocky and Mike and Brant do their best to muddle through a discussion around why we do/n’t care about wargame awards, what’s wrong with popularity contests, and how you would design the “right” kinds of wargame awards.

We certainly don’t discuss all of the possible awards out there, and we don’t do a deep dive on each of them, but we try to cover a variety of ways in which these different awards approach their categories, participation, scope, and scale.

So what did we miss? What awards didn’t we cover that we should have? How would you organize a set of wargaming awards – categories, voters, scope & scale – if you were going to do so? Sound off below!

Here’s a bunch of links to some of the wargame awards discussed on the show

The Charles S Roberts Awards
Wargames Illustrated Awards (reader survey)
Golden Geek Awards
SDHISTCON Summit Award
The Homo Ludens Golden Luddite announcement
Origins Awards archive
Tabletop Games Blog (for the interesting category names)
History on the Table Awards (from a few years ago on BGG, their own site seems to be messed up)

And this was from the question we asked at the end of 2024 about your wargame-acquisition decision-making

Mentioned In Dispatches S14 E9 ~ US Army Command & General Staff College Wargaming Students

vendredi 28 mars 2025 • Durée 01:03:46

28 March 2025 ~

Brant is joined by Dr James Sterrett and one of his students, US Army MAJ Alex Adkins, to discuss the wargaming curriculum at the US Army Command & General Staff College at Ft Leavenworth, KS, and MAJ Adkins Master’s thesis wargame Overmatch.

The discussion includes some info about the program (more info below) and pivots to MAJ Adkins experiences in the program. There’s a bunch of discussion about Overmatch and its development and purpose. There’s also a brief discussion of the uses of wargaming in the military decision-making process.

A couple of links to things that were discussed in the show

Mentioned In Dispatches S14 E8 ~ Serious Non-Wargaming

vendredi 21 mars 2025 • Durée 01:12:31

21 March 2025 ~

Friend-of-the-Dragoons Rex Brynen (of Paxsims, among other places) and fellow Canadian Ben Taylor join Brant for a discussion about serious games that don’t involve all the shooty-bangy things.

What are some of the tools that overlap from wargaming into the non-kinetic world? What are some success stories in using wargaming techniques in these contexts? What are some of the third rails to avoid when using wargaming techniques with other audiences? When do you push back on requests for a wargame? All these, and more, in the best hour of podcasting you’ll get this week.

Mentioned In Dispatches S14 E7 ~ GMT’s Battles of the American Revolution series

vendredi 14 mars 2025 • Durée 53:41

14 March 2025 ~

Mike & Bill join Brant to talk about GMT’s long-running Battles of the American Revolution series, as we continue this season’s focus on digging into some different game series in a bunch of our episodes.

At over 25 years old, it’s one of the longest-running, still-active series that started after TAHGC’s crash & burn back in the 1990s. We talk about the scope of the series across all the games, some nuances of a few specific games, whether (or how) the game could expand beyond the AWI, and games from other publishers that might operate in a similar space.

Some links for this show:

Series page at GMT
Series page at BGG
Bill as the GM at the Fall Assembly (about halfway down the page)
Flintlock series
Hold the Line series

You can chat about this series in the Age of Gunpowder section of our discussion forums

Mentioned In Dispatches S14 E6 ~ Special Guests at GAMA Expo

vendredi 7 mars 2025 • Durée 01:12:29

7 March 2025 ~

Similar to what we did last year at the Expo, rather than try to organize a full-hour episode on a particular topic, we grabbed a couple of different guests to join us for a consolidated Expo episode. Also, rather than focus exclusively on publishers this year, we cast a slightly wider net.

We start out with a wonderful discussion with Steve Jackson13 to discuss their latest Kickstarter, trends in the gaming industry, blazing new trails, and evergreen hits. For this conversation, we were joined by Jason Matthews. We start off that discussion talking about the Kickstarter campaign for the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks that are being reprinted. Steve also shows off some very neat minis tiles from Lorescape that he’s backing and can be used for a variety of hex-based games.

Our second guest was Mike Dunn of , who is one of the key drivers behind the recent push in the GAMA Media & Events division to improve the quality of content, and capabilities of the members. We talk about media coverage of overall industry and some of his specific initiatives within the organization. This might seem a little bit like media navel-gazing, but we thought it good perspective on what forces are shaping potential coverage of the industry.

Mentioned In Dispatches S14 E5 ~ The Total War Series

vendredi 28 février 2025 • Durée 01:00:51

28 February 2025 ~

Brant, Jim, Gus, and (eventually) Sam get together to discuss CA’s Total War series of wargames. Starting with Shogun and continuing through multiple iterations of Rome and Warhammer as well as such off-the-wall games as Attila and Pharoah, plus Jim favorites Napoleon and Empire, among others.

What did we love and/or hate? What was awesome, ugly, fun, or stupid? Who is shadowboxing, and why? What would we fix? What do we think is superfluous, and what do we think is essential? And how exasperated will Jim get with it all?
