For my Golden Jubilee Episode I thought I'd celebrate with a couple of the hobbies luminaries, who just happen to have recently won the World Cup of Historical Wargames Rules with their Chain of Command WW2 set, not only that the runners up were another one of their rule sets, Sharp Practice. Nick and Rich have done many Podcasts in the past so I tried to approach familiar topics from a different angle or ask new questions, in Part 2 I turned the tables on Rich and got him to interview me on Sidney Roundwoods 7 golden rules of Podcasting. It was a great way to celebrate 50 Episodes, here's to another 50 more ! The next episode will be the Xmas Brews in the Binyard, I did have another 3 episodes planned for this year, but I don't want to make the same mistake as last year and end up burning out trying to catch up, so those will appear early in 2024. Finally thanks to all the listeners over the last 50 episodes, great to have you all on board. Until next time, Sithee Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer

Over the last few days, weeks and months, Broken Oars Podcast has highlighted incidents where clubs, crews and athletes have indulged in practices they shouldn't. After they reared their ugly heads again at 2022's Henley Women's Regatta, rather than reiterating the same points over and over on various Twitter feeds and conversations, we (by which I mean, I, the Northern One), decided to contextualise and record our response to what is, bluntly, cheating.   Trying to squeeze up on someone at the start of a Head Race and push the crew behind you away on the stagger is one thing as is making someone overtake you, but deliberately manipulating crews and entries for your own advantage, or not racing within the letter of the rules and the spirit of the sport is quite another - and the modern practice of saying 'you're only picking on us because we're x, y, z' has to stop too. We're better than that as a sport, and our mea culpas should be a damned sight better and more believable than Boris's.   This takes in a lot of history, and explains why I (and I'm pretty sure Lewin agrees with me) have responded to those events the way we have. Hopefully, this episode will stop us having to endlessly restate our position on the Twitter timelines; and ultimately lead to a restatement of our values as a sport and pursuit.   Get Some!

Welcome to the 24th episode of the Combined Arms Podcast, featuring Michael Ovsenik and Geoff Hummel! Our show aims to take a positive look at miniatures wargaming and the larger hobby of tabletop gaming in general.

We also talk a bit about the differences between Sharp Practice and Chain of Command. 0:00-32:00 - Geoff's hobby progress 32:00 - 53:00 - Chain of Command and Sharp Practice - Historical Probability 53:00 - 1:43:00 - Michael's hobby progress Feel free to reach out to us on our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/CombinedArmsPodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CombinedArmsPod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/combinedarmspodcast/ Itunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/combined-arms-podcast/id1227257905 SPQR: https://store.warlordgames.com/products/spqr-game-and-miniature Flint and Feather: https://www.cruciblecrush.com/flint-feather/ Call to Arms: https://manticblog.com/2019/06/24/ronnie-introduces-the-walking-dead-call-to-arms/ Warcry: https://www.warhammer-community.com/tag/warcry/ Bolt Action Korea: https://ospreypublishing.com/bolt-action-korea TooFatLardies Oddcast: http://toofatlardies.libsyn.com/ Combined Arms Podcast T-Shirt http://bit.ly/combinedarms

This week I speak to Rich from Too Fat Lardies. Rich and his partner Nick create rules for a number of genres from the black powder era, WW2, to Sci Fi. During our chat we talk about Rich’s background along with a number of different areas that came up when we chatted. This episode is literally hot off the press, I only just recorded it and so there maybe a few rougher edges than usual but I wanted to make sure that you guys had an episode to listen to. It was a genuine pleasure to talk to Rich and I hope you enjoy the show, if you haven’t checked out any Too Fat Lardies games then make sure you do. As I allude to in the show it is very easy to pick up a rule set and play with figures you already have, you wont need to buy hundreds of pounds worth of new models to interact with their rule sets, plus how they focus on characters in their games is a really fun aspect.
