Your hosts James and Mike, with the occasional guest, look at the Canadian wargames scene. We're interested in miniature wargaming, board (hex and counter) games, and how Canadian military history inspires some of our projects. We hope to help tell the stories of a small but dynamic hobby scene in a big country.

Mike and James have a great chat with Winnipeg's Byron Mudry, a lifelong gamer who also takes us behind the scenes in his MDF terrain business. We also talk about the vibrant gaming scene on the Canadian prairies, and his love of wargaming Canada's storied First World War history. Byron also schooled us about Trench Crusade and other games that the cool kids are playing.

Interesting episode as always. Interested to hear of your consideration on some purchases from the US. I’m considering the same from here in NZ of late.
