This is the video version of the interview I did with Sean Druelinger that appeared in podcast #21.
Episode 20 is here!
I recently had the chance to sit down with Roger Miller, one of the co-owners of Revolution Games, to discuss the world of wargame publishing and game design. Our conversation took us through his journey from playing his first wargame in 1975 to becoming a publisher, as well as the development of the innovative Blind Swords series and the upcoming game, Shiloh. We also touched on the challenges of producing and marketing games in today's market, and the importance of being kind when responding to game submissions.
Finally, we delve into Revolution Games' upcoming World War I game and the unique features that set it apart from past dogfight games. With its beautiful counters and two-leveled display, this game promises to be an immersive and exciting experience for players. So join us for this episode as we explore the captivating world of wargaming with Roger Miller and discuss the future of this engaging hobby.
In addition to my chat with Roger, hear the latest news from publishers, and then I unpack the origin of Storm Over Arnhem, the original area impulse game.
Plus random news and chatter as usual.
***Apparently I had the detail of the pay-for-review scandal wrong. It wasn't a video game, but a boardgame kickstarter. Mea Culpa.***
*****And Roger's partner in Revolution Games is Richard Handewith. I mixed him up with another Richard H and I'm very embarrassed as I've met Richard a few times and he's a great guy. Mea maximum culpa.*****

GMT West Spring 2023
Having made the trip to Hanford once before, last fall, I thought it was a once in a lifetime experience. I had no idea that the stars would line up and let me attend again, and so soon.
The drive down was long again (24 hours total drive time, plus sleeping and eating), but spectacular. Alberta, British Columbia, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California. Easy on the eyes for sure.
Another great interview from GMT's Weekend at the Warehouse, Spring 2023.
I speak with Jerry White, designer of Atlantic Chase as well as the Skies Aboves series and the Enemy Coast Ahead series.
As well, news and notes from the world of wargaming.
