WSS100 - Rules of Engagement

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
