Listener Mc1gamer said about Episode 142: Age of Sigmar with Aaron Bostian “I strongly suggest actually playing the game…Alot of your issues with the game are common initially. However, it plays so much different than it reads….Easy to learn and far more complexity than most give it credit. Give it a try, you might change your mind.”

Via our Twitter account:

Listener Carl said “I’ve recently discovered the Wargaming Recno podcast. It’s well worth a try, easy listen, covers a wide variety of subjects around wargaming.”
Listener Michael said about Episode 119: Henry Hyde Wargaming Author “oh I see an interview with a certain Mr Hyde in ep 119, that’s worth listening to”

I’m stunned and terribly saddened to hear of the passing of longtime listener Andrew. He helped to give the show the name Wargaming Recon. Andrew was a kind soul who selflessly gave of himself to help those around him. Despite being legally blind he taught children how to wargame.

Wargaming Recon has lost a good friend in his passing. I ask all listeners to join me in a moment of silence in Andrew’s honor.
