Episode 99: Battle Card Review + Meet The Lads of “War With a Mate”

Drink of the Week (1:53)

Games of the Week (5:39)
• I'm through the first two of the six maps in Postmark Games' Battle Card (https://www.postmarkgames.com/battle-card) , which turns WWII strategy dilemmas into accessible puzzles for a casual player and a fun diversion for hex-and-counter fans.


• An excerpt from my chat with James and Andy of War With a Mate (https://warwithamate.co.uk) , a podcast that documents their cold start up wargaming's most fabled peak: SPI's monster, The Campaign for North Africa: The Desert War 1940-43.

Track of the Week (35:50)
Bring back the megamix: Namely “Megamix ‘88,” from Mantronix's 1988 LP, In Full Effect. (I kept citing ‘87 on the segment, but that was wrong.)
