Welcome to the first Podcast of 2024, it always seems to take me a while to get started again in the New Year, but at least I managed to get an episode out i January this time around.

Today my guest is the author of the blog Shed Wars, Giles Shapley who is also known by his nom de plume "Eric the Shed".

Shed Wars was and remains one of the staple Wargaming Blogs and it continues to be regularly updated (unlike some, yes I mean you Yarkshire Gamer !) with the gaming adventures of Giles and his friends.

In recent months the Shed has relocated to a more rural location outside the M25 and Giles has converted on of the buildings on the land he bought into a new improved version of the Shed. Plans are afoot to get on site accommodation so you can stay and play.

All the usual features are here, so sit back and enjoy nearly three hours of Wargames Chat.

The Shed Wars Blog is here

And details of The Shed Wars Experience

I'm in the process of organising recording of the next episode so I'm not able to announce my next guest but expect 2 episodes in February.

Until next time, Sithee

Episode 68 - Martyn Kelly - Wargaming Pavia 2:33:48

منذ 14 يومًا2:33:48

2:33:48

On the 500th Anniversary of one of the most pivotable battles of the Great Italian Wars, what better to do that a deep dive into the battle of Pavia, with a specific slant on recreating the battle on the tabletop. I'm joined by Martyn Kelly who has last on the show 2 years ago. He is well known for his exquisite Big Games at Historicon in the US and this year he will be putting on a huge recreation of the Italian Wars classic. Neither Martyn or myself are historians, just enthusiastic wargamers, we give our own briefing introduction on the history of the battle before moving on to a deep dive on the orders of battle and figures used in Martyns game. After that we talk about the terrain for the battle and how that is recreated in miniature before eventually getting to the battle itself and how that presents challenges on the tabletop. Martyn has an excellent blog College of Kings on which he posts updates on the project. https://www.collegeofkings.com/ Please like, subscribe and leave a review wherever you see the show. I'll be back in a couple of weeks when I will be talking to Aaron Johnston who works for the Battle of Prestonpans Trust and runs the What If, 1745 Jacobite Campaign on the YouTube. See you then Sithee Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer…

1:20:16

Hi there, Welcome to the first episode of 2025 and today I combine two of my favourite things in life Wargaming and Italy. My guest is Lorenzo Sartori who runs the Italian based wargames publishers Dadi & Piombo. Lorenzo has been publishing a magazine of the same name for over 25 years, along with various sets of rules and books relating to wargaming, including the very popular Impetus Rules. I chat to Lorenzo about his Wargaming History, as I do with all my guests before moving on to discussing the hobby in Italy in general before finishing off discussing the magazine and his rules. The magazine is available via the website below, https://www.dadiepiombo.it/ I love talking to wargamers from around the world about this wonderful hobby that unites so many of us. Thanks for listening and I'll see you again soon. Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer…

4:06:28

Welcome back to the Yarkshire Gamer Podcast with our usual Xmas Special with the Brews in the Binyard Boys, Alex Sotheran from Storm of Steel and Iain McDonald from Flags of War. In what is now tradition I butcher a Xmas song at the start of the show so get ready for a version of Fairy Tale of New York which you have never heard before ! The show ended up being 4 hours long, but lets face it, you've got plenty of spare time over Xmas, stick some earbuds in and pretend to be asleep after a festive meal. We tackle weighty subjects like, what the f.... is Trench Crusade about, why historians can't make their minds up (again), Crisp Butties, the demise of Twitter, Warlord Games French Lancer horse legs and most importantly which is the best Fish and Chip Shop in Skipton. Whether you digest it in a oner or in several more digestible parts, I hope you enjoy it as much as we did recording it. I hope to be back in the new year with the regular mix of guests, until then have a great Xmas and a Happy New Year and may all your Pike Blocks be massive ! Until Next Time, Sithee Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer…

2:51:07

Hi everyone, Welcome back to the first, long form "normal" Podcast for a while and todays guest is Andy Johnson. Andy was born in York which gets a big tick in a box on this show ! and in the first part of the show we chat about Andys Wargaming life and the old Little Soldier Shop on Gillygate in his home town. Section 2 covers Andys extensive military career in the Coldstream Guards and how wargaming was used as a learning tool throughout his service. Its then the usual quiz etc before we move on to talk about Andys books and his Utube Channel "Brave Men Died Here". I really enjoyed reading my guests books and they are highly recommended. Books avaliable via the link below Amazon.co.uk: Andy Johnson: books, biography, latest update YouTube Channel is here Brave Men Died Here UK - YouTube Back in a couple of weeks when I hope to be interviewing Lorenzo Sartori editor of the Italian Wargaming Magazine Dadi & Piombo Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer…

Episode 63 - Paul Thompson - EWM Catch Up & the WW2 German Raid on the UK 1:40:53

منذ 24 weeks1:40:53

1:40:53

Hi everyone, This was planned initially as a bit of a catch up episode with a number of guests but I wasn't able to get all the interviews done and I've been away myself so rather than have this lying around for weeks I've put my catch up with Paul out as an individual episode. Paul was my guest on Episode 43 and we chatted in depth on that occasion about Early War Miniatures and at the start of this show we chat for half an hour about what is going on at EWM and how they managed to cope with The Great Wargames Website Wobble of 24, something that affected many companies in the UK. We then move onto, what for me is one of the most fascinating stories I've ever covered on this show, the German raid on the coast of the Isle of Wight in 1943, an event which occurred just round the corner from where Paul lives and works. An amazing amount of work has gone on since we last spoke and Paul fills us in on the information that has come to light recently. The story isn't complete yet but its been a privilege to be party to the information as its come out and I look forward to hearing more. My next guest will be author Andy Johnson who has written a number of historical novels set in different eras, the WW2 and Wars of the Roses books have been on my reading pile recently. Andy has also done a bit of gaming as well as having a career in the military, so there will be plenty to chat about. Its important for me to keep the Podcast fresh and entertaining (for me as well) and with that in mind I've got a couple of different types of shows (in addition to the current, wargamer, brews in the binyard and historian styles) in the pipeline and I hope to announce those in the near future. So sit back and enjoy my chat with Paul and I'll see you again next time. Sithee Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer…

Episode 62 - Trevor Dixon - Dixon Miniatures 1:08:47

منذ 28 weeks1:08:47

1:08:47

Welcome back everyone to Episode 63 of the Yarkshire Gamers Reet Big Wargames Podcast and today I've got off my backside and driven down t'road to Honley just outside Holmfirth where I sat down with Trevor Dixon of Dixon Miniatures to chat about his time in the hobby. He got his first break with Hinchliffe Miniatures before striking out on his own in the 1970s with a range of Monguls, much much more was to come over the following years. Dixon Miniatures are full of character, something which for me is lacking in modern day 3d sculpts, his Samurai range is still one of the best for the period and as you can see, it looks the absolute business. A bit shorter than usual as I just went for a straight interview rather than the usual sections but I had a lovely time talking with Trev and I hope you enjoy listening to it. Drop by Trevors website and pick up some of his lovely figures, if we all do it, it will save him doing the decorating ! https://www.dixon-minis.com/ Back in a few weeks time for a catch up episode, my one confirmed guest so far is Paul Thompson from EWM who will give us an update on EWM, The Great Wargames Website Wobble and of course the 1943 German Raid on the Isle of Wight. Until next time Sithee Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer…

Hey Up, Its time to go across the pond to the USA and speak to a couple of guys who are part of the team who run Little Wars TV on that there Utubes. These guys are so big they even have more subscribers than Alex Sotheran ! The channel has been off air for a while and has recently returned to the airwaves so I thought it would be a great time to have a chat and see what was going on and what the plans for the future are. Greg and Miles from the show volunteered to be my guests, we had limited time so its a slightly different format to normal, but I don't think you will notice that much, however its "only" 2 hours long, blink and you will miss it :-) If you haven't seen their channel its here https://www.littlewarstv.com/ Hope you enjoy the show and I'll see you in a couple of weeks when I will be back with a chat with Legend of the Hobby, Trevor Dixon of Dixon Miniatures Until then, Sithee Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer…

Its that time of year again where the gang meet up in our terrace bin yard to chew the fat on the hobby in general. Today I'm joined by regular guests Alex Sotheran from Storm of Steel and Iain McDonald from Flags of War, we have a quick catch up whilst Alex saves up the money for his internet connection before he tells us how he became the "face" of Warlord Games. Its then time for the panel to ratify the recent entries into Wargames Room 101 before moving on to draw Rounds 1 and 2 of the World Cup of Historical Wargames Miniature Manufacturers and yes the Perrys are in it ! We then finish of with the usual #askournora listeners questions where we discuss weighty topics like which pizza topping we would be. Hope you enjoy, as always with these shows they are not for the faint hearted and best listened to in a darkened cellar with soundproofing. Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer…

Episode 59 - Pete Brown - TAG 3:27:00

منذ 37 weeks3:27:00

3:27:00

Welcome to Episode 59 and today I am chatting with Pete Brown who is the main man at The Assault Group who are probably better known as TAG. Pete has had a interesting journey in the hobby prior to setting up TAG, he's worked at Table Top Games, Games Workshop and Wargames Foundry so it was great to chat about his career in mould making and casting and especially chatting about Bob Connor the owner of TTG who is sadly no longer with us. TAG are probably best known for their extensive range of 28mm Renaissance Figures, covering most nations and conflicts in the period, as Pete is a self confessed list ticker he is always keen to finish off his ranges and not leave customers hanging on for that final pack in a range. Its another wide ranging chat about the hobby which I'm sure you will enjoy. TAG figures can be purchased via their website, link below, https://theassaultgroup.co.uk/ The next episode with be the Summer Edition of Brews in the Bin Yard which will include the draw for the World Cup of Historical Wargames Miniature Manufacturers.

2:42:43

After our double header history fest on Jutland with Nick Jellicoe its time to get back to basics with a special episode on Wargames Terrain. My guest is Joe Bilton aka @Joe_Wargamer on Twitter (sorry Elon, its Twitter mate) who during the 5 years or so he has been in the hobby has produced some superb quality tables with an emphasis on more realistic terrain. His day job is creating maps for Wargames, mostly Role Play and Fantasy style stuff but with an increasing amount of historical stuff chucked in, here's a link to the company http://www.heroicmaps.com/ All the usual sections are there and we have a cracking entry into Room 101, I can feel the Twitters lighting up already ! The final section of the show is a deep dive into terrain making with some top tips and ideas for improving the look of our wargames tables. My next guest will be Pete from TAG, I'm a big fan of The Assault Groups Italian Wars figures so I'm really looking forward to that one. Sit back and relax with a nice brew and a Garibaldi and enjoy the episode. Until next time, Sithee Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer…

Episode 57 - Nick Jellicoe - Jutland, The Battle and its Aftermath 2:29:38

منذ 44 weeks2:29:38

2:29:38

Hi everyone. No surprises with the content of this episode as I present the second part of my interview with Nick Jellicoe. In the first part we covered a lot of the background to the battle and the characters involved. In this part of the interview we look in detail at the battle itself, going through each of the major phases of the action at Jutland. We then finish the show off with a quick look at John Jellicoe after the Battle. The two episodes weigh in at just over 4 hours and I have to say I enjoyed every minute of each one. I would like to thank Nick for being so generous with his time and hopefully you enjoyed our chat as well. Next episode will feature Joe Bilton, Joe is one of the leading terrain makers out there and his recent Stalingrad table at Salute was a joy to see. As some one who often shies away from that side of the hobby from both an enthusiasm and talent perspective it will be great to hear from Joe on how he gets excited over some grass tufts and a bit of scatter ! So until next time, Sithee Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer…

1:33:10

Hello again, welcome to Episode 56, the first of a double header on the Battle of Jutland, by far the largest sea borne action of the First World War and what a great guest we have to discuss it with you, Nick Jellicoe, grandson of John Jellicoe Commander of the British Fleet at the battle. We recorded for about 4 and a half hours and it was a great discussion cover many aspects of Nicks life as well as the battle itself. I haven't split a guest episode for a while but I had recorded this episode along with the ones with Nigel Atter and the Rapid Fire in a period of two weeks so splitting this episode will make it easier on your time and also give me a bit of a break until I record the next episode. In this show I talk to Nick about his life as well as a most interesting chat around his fathers WW2 career. We then go on to discuss the prelude to the battle and some of the characters involved. Back in two weeks to talk about the battle itself and its aftermath. Until then, Sithee Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer…

3:18:01

Welcome to the latest episode of the Podcast with my two guests Richard Marsh and Colin Rumford who are responsible for one of the most popular sets of WW2 rules available - Rapid Fire. First released in 1994 and supported by many subsequent Supplements, Campaign and Scenario Books the rules have gone through a recent update with Rapid Fire Reloaded, a chartless version of the orginal rules. It's a long episode but with two guests that's always the way as we go through the regular features with each guest, eventually after a couple of hours we get round to actually talking about the rules ! But this isn't a short form Podcast after all it's just as much about getting to know the guests as it is the main topic. The Rapid Fire website where you can obtain all the various books is https://www.rapid-fire-uk.com/ Hope you enjoy the episode, next up I hope will be another Historian style show with Nick Jellicoe where we will be discussing the Battle of Jutland.

2:15:44

Hello everyone and welcome once again to the Yarkshire Gamers Reet Big Wargames Podcast as I reach the 54th episode. In a bit of an extended introduction I go through and explain a recent change in my guest booking process. Before moving onto the main course. Today my guest is Nigel Atter who is a WW1 historian with a couple of books to his name who has studied one of my favourite campaigns of history to recreate, The Great War in Mesopotamia. Its a fascinating area to look at and very different to the more commonly studied war on the Western Front. My guest is no stranger to the wargaming table as well so we look at his own personal wargaming and history story before doing the features session, skipping over the usual Big Game chat to give us more time to concentrate on the main topic. Nigels books can be obtained via Helion on the link below, Nigel Atter - Biography | Helion & Company | Military History Books Hope you enjoy the episode and maybe get a taste for the Campaign yourself. My next episode will see me talking with the authors of the WW2 rule set Rapid Fire, Richard Marsh and Colin Rumford. Until then, Sithee Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer…
