In this episode of the Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy [https://www.karwansaraypublishers.com/en-gb/pages/wss-magazine?srsltid=AfmBOoo9z4DjploowUSgMlAtgt5O_ecgEZOjWvBOkYWlseR4FtNYPPqC] podcast, we bring you the latest hobby news, new releases, and all the usual chatter from the wargaming world. Then we tackle a topic that some of us (naming no names… Angus) find a bit of a slog—learning new rules. How do we approach a brand-new system without losing the will to game? From rulebook wrangling to memory mishaps, we share our thoughts, strategies, and confessions.   Links: Pillage [https://www.victrixlimited.com/pages/pillage?srsltid=AfmBOorI1725bfy2YLSXd-HvdM5Ob3qpdvLdZ8862O6Wrk3QjFyUdXwa], Victrix Chain of Command [https://toofatlardies.co.uk/product-category/chain-of-command/], TFL Armies of Great Britain [https://store.warlordgames.com/products/armies-of-great-britain-with-capt-john-henry-cound-brunt-vc-mc-special-miniature?utm_source=community&utm_medium=content&utm_campaign=armies-of-great-britain-third-edition-army-special-rules&utm_content=post], Warlord Games Pendraken Summer Games Day [https://www.pendraken.co.uk], 5th July 2025 Attack! 2025 [https://ddwg.org.uk/?page_id=341], 19-20 July 2025

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
