Yarkshire Gamers Reet Big Wargames Podcast

Yarkshire Gamer

A wargaming Podcast covering that modern day rarity, The Big Game. No 10 figures a side on a 3ft square table here old chap. All scales, all periods, so long as its BIG. You know what they say ”Go Big or Go Home” We, my friends have gone Big ! Each episode will look at a different aspect of the Big Wargame and do a little bit to bring them back into fashion. Is it a coincidence that Warlord games bring an Epic scale box set out just after this podcast went to air ! I don’t think so, so get on

Yarkshire Gamers Reet Big Wargames Podcast ·

2025/08/08

Earlier this year one of the early Wargaming Pioneers Charlie Wesencraft passed away at the age of 97.

In between the various interview sections I read passages from his first book, written in 1974, Practical Wargaming. See if you can spot any phrases from those readings that still resonate today. Charlies first book can still be obtained via
