This week I am joined by one of my favourite game designers, Mike Hutchinson. You would know Mike as the author of Gaslands and A Billion Suns. Together we talk through Mike's passion game project, Hobgoblin.

We are back after a much needed break with a general discussion around how you can play the British in Bolt Action both historically and competitively in Bolt Action. And while we do spend a lot of time talking about the British, we also spend a lot of time talking about Bolt Action in general. We have not had an analysis episode of the show in a while and I think this is an interesting one. We hope you like it!

Matt Sprange, the author of the exciting new expansion to the Judge Dredd game, joins us this week to dig into all things BLOCK WAR! We discuss how Block War takes the established 2000AD mechanics of the Judge Dredd game and takes them to a new level by allowing players to go beyond gang skirmishes. Instead, using this expansion, you can build entire block hab units and battle it out against your neighbours using new technological upgrades and the full might of residential blocks gone mad.

Both of the lists written in this episode were submitted to the event and one is being used in next weekend's event.
