Steven it’s always interesting to me to hear the organizers side. How firm are you about not wanting a Flames of War tournament? It seemed like there was lots of space available for miniature war gaming on Sunday through that might be due to the weather.” Guest Steven Parenteau replied “What I should have said is we don’t have the space to run more than one tournament event at a time. Normally everyone wants a Saturday event leaving the tables empty Friday and Sunday. As I had said in our interview I always take submitted events before I fill it in with our staff events. So in short a Sunday Flames of War event is totally feasible. It may have looked empty this year because normally we have to shunt the RPGA area into the minis hall because of the Sunday brunch that normally goes on. This year the hotel management cancelled the brunch so we didn’t have to move the RPGA group into the minis area for space.” TAS-CON 2015 Unique way to kickstart a small convention.

I’ve listened to about 50 episodes now and found all of them to have real value. The range of topics is refreshing and the quality of production and guests really makes it a good listen. Wargaming Recon is mostly focused on historical miniature wargames, but enough different games and tangental topics are covered that it’s always interesting.” RobertD left a 4 star review on Stitcher Radio titled Historical Wargaming saying “Every episode has some great content related to wargaming in New England. It could be talking about a Convention with one of the directors, holiday buying ideas, or even just doing a mailbag episode.” Do You Like Wargaming Recon?
