History to Hobby

History to Hobby is back with a soft vengeance! Ben and Evan switch to a hasty and impromptu backup plan after an epic recording session (or possibly a botched episode recording.) Join them as they parley about the pros and cons of different miniature wargaming scales. History to Hobby’s blog - Irondice.org

Jordan from Scale History SLC joins Evan and Ben to talk all about kit-bashing WWII in 28mm. From the ordinary to the exotic, Jordan is on a mission to never repeat a pose. Here’s the real question, can Evan trap hobby butterfly Ben before he’s also kit-bashing Folglore Paratroopers? Ben is so young and impressionable after all…Scale History SLC YouTube — youtube.com/@scalehistoryslc Iron Dice Gaming — irondice.org

Drew joins the cast to chat about the build process of the wintery Senonchamps board. Terrain board building in all its glory! The boys talk research sources, design considerations, and the “nuts!” and bolts of how we shrunk a Belgian village onto a 6x4 foot table. Skeleton Paints - cults3d.com/en/users/skeletonpaints Misfit Machinations - https://tinyurl.com/Misfit-Machinations Iron Dice Gaming - Irondice.org

Evan and Ben are back and much to no one’s surprise the IDG gears have shifted from late war to early war. The crew uses the episode to do a shakedown of the new recording software while musing on the French and German conflict in 1940. The origins of the new plan are revealed and prattle about early war armor abounds. Check out Evan and Ben’s early war forces at Irondice.org

In Episode 4 Evan and Ben recount the “rigorous” playtesting of the “A Stand at Senonchamps” Chain of Command scenario and the effect of the streamlined forces. They also reflect on the startling lack of memory surrounding their convention games players’ names. Apparently tank and airplane statistics take up a lot of brain space. All jokes aside the boys divulge the excellent time they had hosting two of the Chain of Command games at Adepticon 2025.For more History to Hobby and Iron Dice Gaming

Join Evan and Ben for an early morning chat about Ben’s German attackers at Senonchamps. This podcast was recorded at 4 and 5am local time... A little history, a little hobby, a pinch of banter, and a whole lot of coffee. This time with higher volume audio! Hopefully.Winter Grenadiers Painting Guide - irondice.org/tutorials

Join Evan and Ben as they dive into TO&Es and the history books as they chat about Evan’s American Task Force Browne. Force composition, model sourcing, and khaki oh my… While Chain of Command is the meat and potatoes Evan manages to sneak in tiny planes and contemplates which tank is the most airplane-like.Winter American Painting Guide - irondice.org/tutorials

Join the hosts, Evan and Ben, as they talk about the history behind their snowy Senonchamps scenario for Chain of Command. Can they bring their plans to fruition before Adepticon 2025? Only time will tell…
