Earlier this year GMT Games released a two-player board game called 'A Gest of Robin Hood'. I sat down with the game's designer to discuss how this game functions as a sort of introduction to the hobby of historical wargaming, the depth of research that went into the game, and what he's hoping people can get out of the game as well.You can follow Fred Serval on Blue Sky with @fredserval.bsky.socialOr via his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@HomoLudens1871You can find out more about A Gest of Robin Hood on the GMT website or on Board Game Geek.Into the Greenwood is produced by Thaddeus Papke Theme music is by Plastic3For more from Into the Greenwood:www.instagram.com/intogreenwood/www.threads.net/@intogreenwoodbsky.app/profile/intogreenwood.bsky.socialwww.facebook.com/intogreenwoodTo support the podcast go to:www.patreon.com/IntoGreenwoodorwww.buymeacoffee.com/intogreenwoodOur selected charity: Trees, Water & Peopleintogreenwood@gmail.comSupport the show

The gang has finally reached the end of 1862 (in Virginia at least) with Ambrose Burnside's ill fated turn at the head of the Army of the Potomac, as depicted in the new hotness that is Mark Herman's Rebel Fury. It promises dynamic movement and a new take on ACW combat, all in a simple quick playing ruleset. As fans of the C3i game Gettysburg that Rebel Fury builds on, will Pierre and Stuart enjoy this new entry from a much beloved designer or will it go the way of Burnside and be demoted and shipped off to fight on another table?

In this episode of the Homo Ludens podcast, we bring you a collective review of Plantagenet, the latest game in Volko Ruhnke's Levy & Campaign Series, designed by Francisco Gradaille and published by GMT Games. Our Discord server members—supporters of the show—learned and played this intricate medieval wargame and now share their thoughts on the strategies, historical depth, and gameplay experience. Set during the Wars of the Roses, Plantagenet adds layers of political intrigue and shifting loyalties to the familiar Levy & Campaign system.

We are back with Joe Chacon and Evan Yoak where we talk about their upcoming game Decisive Action from GMT Games 

We're Back to Berg baby! After a mixed experience crossing the mountains, the boys are trying one of Berg's takes on Antietam, arguably the most influential battle of the American Civil War. Originally published in 1995, the same year as the first GMT edition of Three Days of Gettysburg which would spawn the modern era of GBACW, and substantially revised in 2002, Glory is a light hex and counter from one of our favorite designers. Will we like it more than GBACW? You can probably already guess!

This week we are going to cover the rules for Battle Line. Battle Line is a game designed by Reiner Knizia and is illustrated by Roland MacDonald, Rodger B. MacGowan, and Mark Simonitch.

On Episode 6 of GMT Talk, Rachel and a few special guests interview Gene Billingsley, founder of GMT Games, at GMT's Weekend at the Warehouse event. We hope you enjoy! This episode was recorded on April 17, 2024. Intro and outro music was composed and performed by Dan Pancaldi. Thanks Dan!

Ben catches up with Ken Kuhn of GMT Games, who talks about his company, what's coming down the pipeline, and of course 18XX (and war games too!).  They also chat about recent plays of Sky Team, Evacuation, 535, Kutná Hora, The Plum Island Horror, Arborea, and 1880.Time codes to come!

This week, the panel digs into our recent game of Dominant Species! Dominant Species, designed by Chad Jensen, was first published by GMT Games in 2010. In 2011, it was nominated for the BoardGameGeek Golden Geek Award for Most Innovative and Best Thematic Game and won two Golden Geeks for Best Strategy Game and Game of the Year.  Episode Summary: The panel begins by highlighting typical challenges with worker placement games, and how Dominant Species couples it with area majority. We discuss the different approaches to scoring points, discuss potential issues with scoring rules, and draw comparisons with other worker placement games. We touch briefly on the Dominance cards, which can drastically change the landscape of the board. We conclude as usual by giving out final thoughts on Dominant Species, including an idea or two how the game could be sped up. So get ready to evolve with us as we fight tooth and nail in our game of Dominant Species.  Show notes created with assistance from https://podium.page / / / / / You can Listen to Us: Spotify || Apple Podcasts || Google Podcasts || YouTube You can Support Us: Patreon || Ko-fi || Merch: Redbubble || Leave a Rating & a Review wherever you listen.

This week I tell Julius all about the GMT Games title Banish the Snakes.  You play as St. Patrick or some of the other saints that worked to convert Ireland to Christianity as the Roman Empire and Roman Britain and collapsed.  This is a really interesting historical title that plays very similarly to a Pandemic but with the complexity taken up a notch or two.   Banish the Snakes (BGG, GMT Games)

"It doesn't take a lot of elephants to have a scary amount of elephant on the battlefield." This week, Eric and Kiwi bring Commands & Colors: Ancients to the table and recreate the first battle of the Bagradas River between Rome and Carthage. The game was published by GMT Games in 2006 and designed by Richard Borg. Post your comments to Twitter/Instagram @FirstTurnCast or email us at firstturntabletop@gmail.com.

adminThe COIN series of games from GMT Games is very popular series of games. However, the look and rules may be intimidating to gamers. I teach 3 players Cuba Libre […] The post RDTN Episode 294: Are COIN games difficult to learn? first appeared on Rolling Dice & Taking Names.

Welcome to the latest episode of Cult of the Old! Each episode your hosts Iain McAllister, Matt Thrower, and Nate Owens are going to turn back the clock to look at games that are at least 10 years old. They'll give their own critical impressions, tell you about the history of the game and its impact, and what relevance these games still have in the modern hobby landscape.  This episode the team find themselves in the midst of the Cold War. Twilight Struggle from  designers Ananda Gupta and Jason Matthews, sat atop the BGG rankings for many years. It brought card driven wargames to a wider audience and has influenced the direction of much of the wargames side of the hobby. Originally published by GMT Games with Art from Viktor Csete, Rodger B. MacGowan, Chechu Nieto, Guillaume Ries, and Mark Simonitch.   Show Links Below are links to the games and anything else that the team mention during the course of the cast.  We will be linking to BGG for games, designers, artists, and publishers as that is a good place to start for raw information about the game in question.   Games Mentioned   We the People (Washington's War) Hannibal: Rome vs Carthage Paths of Glory Here I Stand El Grande Turn Zero Expansion Hammer of the Scots A Victory Lost Dominant Species Sekigahara  Pandemic: Legacy Root Dawn of Freedom 1960: The Making of a President 13 Days Watergate Red Flag Over Paris Fire in the Lake A Distant Plain  People Power Labyrinth: War On Terror The Troubles   Other Mentions   ACTS - Automatic card tracking system Dispatches, vietnam book Wargameroom.com    Team Links   Websites you can find the cast on There Will Be Games The Cult of the Old   Iain The Giant Brain Twitter   Matt Twitter   Nate Twitter   Support us on Ko-Fi https://ko-fi.com/cultoftheold   Join us on our Discord https://discord.gg/Ye6Bem5Q6x   Email us at cultoftheolduk@gmail.com

In this episode, we detour from miniatures to chat to Marc Rodrigue, Montreal-based designer of the award-winning French and Indian Wars boardgame, Bayonets and Tomahawks, published by GMT Games.   We talk about Marc's abiding interest in the French and Indian War, and the design process that led to his game.   Marc's also a FIW reenactor, and has some interesting insights to the period from portraying a soldier of the Franche de la marine.   Marc's current projects include an interesting looking WW2 armour game, reflecting his love of tanks, and some other fascinating projects. After we said au revoir to Marc, James and I chatted about the ups and downs (and legalities) of 3D printing, getting ready for Hot Lead in less than two week's time, playing Napoleon in a tactical game, James' initial thoughts on Osprey's new SF rules, Xenos Rampant, and an early look at Sam Mustafa's Nimitz, along with some opinions as to why destroyers are cool.

Like Preston's book “Braddocks Defeat” book does for the British general, it gives a more proper portrayal of how that French general was adapted to the North American theater.    Closing Music:  Aupres de ma blonde, sung  by Olivia Chaney, https://youtu.be/lY2izR3fN_U Contact Us (We Love Hearing From You!): Canadian Wargamer Podcast Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/canadianwargamerpodcast Mike: madpadre@gmail.com @MarshalLuigi www.madpadrewargames.blogspot.com James: jamesmanto@gmail.com @JamesManto4 www.rabbitsinmybasement.blogspot.com

We take no time off for Boxing Day here at SVWAG, a day so named because according to the common law of the King (still feels weird saying that) citizens of the Commonwealth are permitted to punch someone in the face on this day only. It's like a pugilistic The Purge but with the metric system and occasional poutine. The news this week features a number of exemplary game titles. Many a stellar game has crossed our paths purely on the strength of its name, whereas others are so generic as to defy searching. Go ahead, find R on Board Game Geek, or the game Quest.

Let us not, as the saying goes, hold the perfect in opposition to the good. We here at SVWAG always encourage the lowering of standards, which the hosts tend to do by their very presences--dragging down the average of any group of which they are a part.

We're always on the lookout for new potential taglines here at SVWAG, as our earlier efforts "that one where the guy talks to that dude" and "we shout into a can so you don't have to" have been deemed insufficient. "We like it hard" was put forth by Walker, but the editorial staff are afraid it is apt to be misconstrued. "We weaponize children" was rejected for the opposite reason, namely that it might be correctly interpreted. Specificity tends to get us into trouble, which is why we have kept "a boardgaming podcast about boardgames" for as long as we have.1:04 AYURIS: Project: ELITE (Konstantinos Kokkinis, Marco Portugal, & Sotirios Tsantilas, CMON, 2020)Games Played Last Week:02:33 -Crusaders: Thy Will Be Done (Seth Jaffee, Tasty Minstrel, 2018)04:54 -Beyond the Sun (Dennis K.

Around sixty million years ago on Earth, dinosaurs reigned supreme on land, but at sea, a giant struggle was still unfolding. Creatures were slowly adapting to the changes in their watery habitat and hoping to be victors in this fight for survival. The threat of a giant meteor striking the Earth was increasing all the time, so it was a race to become the Dominant Species: Marine by Chad Jensen from GMT Games.

It's a star-studded eleganza extravaganza, featuring your two least-favourite SVWAG hosts giving you an incomplete capsule summary of a terrible year of great games. Of course, they neglected to play That One Game, of course, which means that all their observations are utterly useless, but how does that differentiate this episode from any other? This offering is more classy, however, as in a concession to the glitz and glamour of end-of-year shows, both hosts begrudgingly and uncharacteristically wear pants. (You might be asking--is that "pants" in the British sense or the Canadian sense? The answer is yes.)Games Played Last Week:02:50 -Fossilis (David Alberto Diaz, Kids Table BG, 2020)05:07 -In Too Deep (Josh Cappel & Daryl Chow, Burnt Island Games, 2021)10:17 -French Toast (Uncredited, Blue Beard Entertainment, 2021)12:06 -Magnate: The First City (James Naylor, Naylor Games, 2021)18:02 -Corrosion (Stefan Bauer, Capstone Games, 2021)20:35 -G.I.

Episode 110 is live! Come listen as we dive into the depths of Sekigahara: the Unification of Japan from GMT Games. We tell you all about the game and our experience as well as touching on the history the game is presenting. We then go into the topic where we discuss abstracting games, and how that can change the perception, message, and general takeaway from a game of historical value. We end by telling you what we think would be a fun war game. Be sure to like, share, and subscribe!

Tanto Monta, The Rise of Ferdinand and Isabella es el nuevo y flamante juego de Carlos Díaz, a publicar próximamente por la editorial GMT Games. Carlos Díaz ya ha sido entrevistado y muy bien sobre Tanto Monta en otros podcast colegas, como el Txoko de los Bárdulos y Ciudadano Meeple, pero tenía pendiente pasar por nuestro territorio para ser sometido al tratamiento grognard. Albert Alegre, nuestro puntilloso bisoño, ha interrogado extensa y exhaustivamente a Carlos para que nos cuente todos los detalles de Tanto Monta, juego precuela e inspirado en el exitoso Here I Stand de Ed Beach, quien ha colaborado estrechamente con Carlos en el desarrollo de su proyecto. NOTA: como se indica al final de audio, los audios de terceros se incluyen bajo los acuerdos que tiene ivoox con la SGAE.
