Missed the Team? We didn't think so! But if you wanted to hear what they've been up to (besides slacking) this episode should summarize it for you!

Books? Who talks about books around here? Well, when Doug isn't making memes to poke fun at Steve and Brett, he's recently had a chance to read several of the works of James Young. James' alternate history series “The Usurper's War” covers a World War 2 that will be recognizable to historical wargamers, but has pivoted in some unexpected directions. James has also written two treatises on USAF doctrine that cover the evolution of the Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses mission from pre-Vietnam to the present.

We know that you all have tons of 28mm tank models just laying around. They're probably still in the box like Matt's A-4 Skyhawks! If you are looking for a way to get them on the table in a less infantry-centric game than Bolt Action, look no further than Achtung Panzer from Warlord Games. Doug, Steve and Brett sit down with Roger Gerrish, the developer who brough this “club game” to life for Warlord and helped them in their evil plans to SELL MOAR TANKZ! (we joke) (only a little) But check out this great song from Raubtier that will make you want to run out and BUY MOAR TANKZ! https://youtu.be/aW2UksFbedA Raubtier on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/raubtiersweden/ Achtung Panzer in the Warlord Store: https://us.warlordgames.com/collections/achtung-panzer As always, check out our store for the latest in Blood Red Skies and Aerial Wargaming miniatures, accessories and more! https://www.leadpursuit.net/store

Hobby Mojo: You're in the groove- at a building/painting a mini, making/writing a list or scenario, or, in Doug's case, “mathing” some incomprehensible hex and cardboard counter “game”. Everything is clicking, the miniature goes together perfectly, the paint job is smooth, a list or scenario just writes itself, or, in Doug's case, all the maths math up, and the hexes move 2” to the left or right. In any case, the hobby gods are pleased, and everything is going to plan! Join LPP as we discuss having, maintaining, and recovering that Hobby Mojo, so that you can do that hobby voodoo you do so well!

House Rules, what could be a more divisive topic in gaming? For this dive into the abyss of Grognard Opinion, the team has invited Tom Castanos from the ever loquacious Anything But a One, Adventures in Historical Miniatures Wargaming podcast to share in the pain! (Try saying THAT podcast title 10 times, rapidly, while gargling salt water, and standing on one foot.) But anyway, listen in as the team and Tom run full tilt into the windmills of Grognard Gatekeeping, and continue to wage the #WarOnGrognards!

Are you one of those players who feels Great Dive is the throw-away trait? Do you wish someone smarter and better looking than you would do an analysis of how you could use this trait in your Blood Red Skies games? So do we! But since we can't find such a person, you're stuck with our pathetic team blundering their way through an analysis of the Great Dive trait, the doctrines that it pairs with and the aircraft that use the trait.

Are you wondering what lists took the top places at the Adepticon Tournament? Well wait no more - in this episode the team blunders about talking over the results from the Blood Red Skies tournament at Adepticon 2023.

If you didn't join the team on their annual pilgrimage to Adepticon this year, then you missed out on all the fun! Well, at least they “called” it fun, but we all know it was Lead Pursuit buffoonery at its worst. At least they had adult supervision present in the form of Mike Rafferty, Adepticon Historical coordinator, who is debriefed on this episode. Listen to poor Mike have to deal with the Lead Pursuit team and their unending requests, complaints and good ideas for how to make Adepticon even better next year!

What's this, Doug having a cerebral discussion about wargame design theory with an actual professional wargame designer?

Doug and Dave roam all over the topic, offering both historical examples as well as hypothetical musings, all in an attempt to inform the next generation of game designers on how to remedy a common oversight in Aerial Wargames.

The book chronicles the experiences of the 381st Bomb Group operating out of Ridgewell during the Second World War. Of course Mike is a wargamer as well, so the team manages to get off track plenty of times!

What the heck has been going on with Lead Pursuit? If it wasn't bad enough they've been slow to release podcasts, they take too much time in this episode to talk about all of the games BESIDES Blood Red Skies that are taking up their time.

Either you love Aces or you don't. Well some of you claim to love them, yet can't tell us how you play them. Weak sauce. So listen up, hear about the new aces coming out, and maybe in the future, when Doug actually has leaked info, he'll get the podcast out before Warlord makes the announcement.
