History to Hobby Episode 4: A Squabble at Senonchamps - Adepticon 2025

Episode 4

Wednesday, May 7, 2025 • Duration 39:01

In Episode 4 Evan and Ben recount the “rigorous” playtesting of the “A Stand at Senonchamps” Chain of Command scenario and the effect of the streamlined forces. They also reflect on the startling lack of memory surrounding their convention games players’ names. Apparently tank and airplane statistics take up a lot of brain space. All jokes aside the boys divulge the excellent time they had hosting two of the Chain of Command games at Adepticon 2025.
