A player recently took 4 Heavy Howitzers and 4 Snipers to the LVO Bolt Action event. That guy (pun intended) is Paul, from War War HQ and one the contributors to the Call Of Battle podcast. Given Brad's recent run of Bolt Action, most of which have been around playing and listing in a way that does not ruin your opponent's day... It only seemed natural to have someone from a "harder meta" on to ta...

Brad is joined by experienced Italian Paratrooper players, and all around rad guys, Aaron and Pedro as the guys talk all things Paracadutisti! The guys talk through the appropriateness of the Italian National rules, three eras in which these elite soldiers fought and how to list around each era and what miniatures to use in each section of the war. Yes, it might seem like this is a pretty niche ep...

The hype surrounding Fantasy Flight's newest Star Wars game is incredible. Star Wars Legion is a true tabletop war-game pitting the tyrannical Imperial Empire against the plucky and outnumbered Rebel Alliance.

Halloween brought us the long awaited expansion/sourcebook for Konflikt ’47 called Resurgence. The game, though great, needed updating if it was going to come into line with Bolt Action Version 2, as K’47 was based on the original BA game. Turns out Resurgence is an apt name for this book as it goes beyond aligning K’47 with its parent game… in the way it adopts new rules and leaves others behind…...
