  Episode 87 - James Morris & Rich Clarke - Midgard World Cup

  Aug 15, 20264h 9m

  Welcome to the show, This episode I begin by speaking with Mr James Morris a regular on the UK Show Circuit with his excellent array of display and participation games. Its the usual fare with a general chat before we move onto Big Games, the quiz and a classic entry into Wargames Room 101. For Part 4 me and James are joined by Mr Rich Clarke from Toofatlardies, the two authors of the finalists in the recent World Cup of Historical Wargames Rules. After a bit of reminiscing about the competition we move onto Midgard, the Hero led Ancient - Medieval - Fantasy rule set. With Rich and James present, I approach the development of a new set of rules from the perspective of both the rule writer and the rule publisher. It was a great chat with a couple of great guys, hope you enjoy it. Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer

  Episode 86 - Barry Hilton - Reet Big Lily Banners

  Jun 27, 20262h 53m

  Welcome to Episode 86 of the Yarkshire Gamers Reet Big Wargames Podcast. My guest today is Mr Barry Hilton, a rule writer, figure producer and a man, like myself who loves a Big Flag ! You will no doubt recognise the names of his rules, Beneath the Lily Banners, Donnybrook, From Republic to Empire, Mad for War and the soon to be released Dreadnoughts. Barry specialises in the 1660 to 1720 period when a frilly collar was all the rage, its a fascinating time when armies become more professionalised, the pike disappears and the hats went from floppy to pointy. It was a joy to pick his brains on a period I'm not that familiar with. We chat about Barry and his history in the hobby, look at his range of figures and chat about the future for The League of Augsberg. Hope you enjoy it Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer

  Episode 85 - Summer Brews in the Binyard 26

  Jun 7, 20263h 52m

  Hi all, Its been a while since the last podcast but I couldn't miss a Summer Brews in the Binyard ! I'm joined by Alex Sotheran from Storm of Steel and Iain Mcdonald of Flags of War for our half yearly loo at the Wargaming World. WARNING - This podcast contains naughty words and jokes about Wargaming, if you are of a nervous disposition I would turn off this podcast and go and do something more interesting instead ! We start the show with our usual catch up, a chat about Salute (Alex mentioned the award, not me) and Partizan before discussing if too much terrain and not enough figures is an issue on some tables. Then its the draw and general chat about the 2026 World Cup of Historical Wargames Rules. I may mention my despair at the standard of replies in the Preliminary Round, once or twice. With the draw done its onto Ask Our Nora when we get stuck into your questions. I have to admit I was absolutely overwhelmed with questions this time and had to close off the question posts 24 hours before the show. We didnt manage to get through all the questions, I have 7 A4 pages of 12 point text of questions we didnt get too. Apologies if you are one of those, we will try and get to them at a later show. Sit back and enjoy Until next time, Sithee Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer

  Episode 84 - Salute Revisited - Martin and Phil from South London Warlords

  Mar 28, 20261h 7m

  Hi all, I've been allocating most of my hobby time to painting over the last couple of months and its the Podcast which has taken a bit of a back seat, but with the upcoming Salute Wargames Show in that there London (which I have been busy painting figures for) only a couple of weeks away, I thought it would be a good idea to have a quick catch up with Martin and Phil from The South London Warlords to have a chin wag about the show. In the hour of the show we catch up on everything that's new, everything that's the same and all the stuff in between. I will be at the show waving my banner for Big Old School Historical Wargaming, as you would expect, there will also be lots of other people waving their banners for their areas of the hobby, which is wonderful to see. I can guarantee that none of those banners will be as big as the ones on the front of a certain wargames magazine ! Now the Analogue Hobbies Winter Paint Challenge is over I hope to have a bit more time to put some more episodes together, so if I don't see you at Salute hopefully you can tune into the next episode of the Podcast. Until next time, Sithee Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer

  Episode #84

  Episode 83 - Dads War Room - Mens Mental Health

  Feb 13, 20261h 1m

  Hi all, Welcome to the show and today I have a bit of a spontaneous episode (for me) with Joe and Aaron from Dads War Room over in Hull (or is it 'ull) in the East Riding of Yorkshire. I saw what the lads were doing via the Yarkshire Gamer Facebook page and I knew I had to get them on and help to get their message out to the world. Mens Mental Health has come a long way in my lifetime and Mens Sheds and the likes of Andys Man Club has made discussing how we feel more socially acceptable, so Joes idea of a Wargaming Club focusing on being not only a space for painting, building and gaming but also being a place where a shared hobby experience might help bring on the courage to share any personal challenges and receive likeminded support is a fantastic one. Both Joe and Aaron are relatively new to the hobby so its a shorter more bespoke format to the episode as we get straight into the meat and tattes and talk about the setting up of the club, its first meeting and some great positive plans for the future. Give these lads a like and a follow and if you can help in any way please do so, sharing this show link would be a great start ! Dads War Room is on Facebook, Tiktok and the Utubes, links below https://www.youtube.com/@Dadswarroom https://www.instagram.com/dads.warroom?igsh=MW1vNDVuYjhhZG1jeA%3D%3D https://www.facebook.com/groups/1368023948184485/?ref=share I'll be back next week for a birthday party to celebrate 5 years of the Podcast Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer
