 Kickstarter for Wargamers – Wargaming Recon #118 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:51:00

Kickstarter for Wargamers Kickstarter is a crowdfunding website that can help games to be produced, which would otherwise not see the light of day. Behind this image exists a danger that all wargamers need to be aware of. When properly handled Kickstarter can be hugely powerful for all involved. Jonathan shares the good, the bad, and the ugly of Kickstarter. If we didn’t cover one of your favorite Kickstarter projects, then please share it with us on Facebook, Twitter, or via e-mail at cwfgamecast@wargamingforums.com. Jonathan’s Kickstarter Backer History Cityographer by Inkwell Designs, makers of Hexographer Rogue Chess by Peter “Blix” Bryant of the Mythwits podcast Ambient Soundscapes Volume 2 for Tabletop Gaming Bad Kickstarter Projects Torn Armor as covered by Meeples & Miniatures. Paladium Books’ Robotech RPG Tactics Comic artist BURNS 127 copies of his book aka sad pictures for children by John Campbell Jonathan’s (Not a Lawyer) 5 Guidelines for Backing a Kickstarter Have a clear idea of your EXPECTATION. Determine if it matches what the project creator is doing. COMMUNICATE with the project creator BEFORE backing. This is the best way to ask questions. Only pledge when you KNOW the project creator, their work, or a respectable person you trust vouches for the creator and the project. Closely EXAMINE the Kickstarter project. Does it seem too good to be true? Is it unreasonable? Or impossible? Pledge no more money than you can afford to LOSE if things go sour.

 ReCast: Battle of Abington – Wargaming Recon #62 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:30:41

Jonathan is sick so there is NO NEW EPISODE right now. To make up for it we’re sharing this episode from the vault. The classic episode comes to you from the dark ages where the show had a different name. Since this is a CLASSIC episode some of the links, content, giveaways, contests etc may be out of date or ended. Don’t worry! Next time we’ll be back with a NEW episode of Wargaming Recon. Host Jonathan J. Reinhart releases a short show. The episode begins, unusually, with Dispatches from HQ. The bulk of this episode is devoted to the Battle of Abington. This was a custom scenario created by Adrian Benson for Cort, Jonathan, and he to play with Warlord Games’ Black Powder rules. The trio met at Battleground Games & Hobbies in Abington to play using the models they have finished painting. Jonathan fielded one American militia regiment and one Continental artillery battery. Adrian teamed up with Cort. Cort brought two British infantry regiments and Adrian used one small Hessian musketeer regiment. The battle is discussed, mis-steps announced, and rules mentioned. You can read battle reports at Black Powder AWI demo game (from the Hessian point of view) and The Battle of Abington (American point of view). Further discussion of the game can be found on this blog or by joining the Black Powder Wargamers of New England Yahoogroup. The show concludes with a mention that The Whiz, Rte 9 East in Westborough, is moving! They will move 2 miles closer to 495. See The Whiz is Moving for full details. They will be at their new location as of September 1st. Until then they are offering 15-50% off everything in store. Jonathan used this opportunity to stock up on TONS of Dystopian Wars stuff including the rulebook, game cards, Prussian Empire battle box, Prussian Empire bombers, and the Prussian Pflicht Scoutship blister. b>Do You Like Wargaming Recon?

How Jonathan Became a Wargamer Listener Andrew submitted a question on Facebook asking how Jonathan got into wargaming. In this episode Jonathan answers.

Stone Ape Podcast #19: New England Gaming Vegas with Jonathan Reinhart Listener Andrew’s question on our Facebook page: I dabbled in GAMES WORKSHOP as a teenager, but was turned-off the hobby by all the cheating and arguments. Then university friends got me addicted to FULL THRUST, a spaceship wargame. Since then I moved into DBA, and heavily into FLAMES OF WAR. I’ve dabbled in a lot of rules and periods, but I prefer rules that are fast yet realistic. How did you get into wargaming?
