The On Patrol Podcast

On this patrol we scout the good, the bad, and even the rational behind Competitive historical events. We are joined by (3) veteran Tournament Organizers (TO)s from around the world. Peter West (Australia), Russel Weight (England), and Jacob Shober (USA) help us to navigate the mine fields, rally points, and why you should consider participating or even one day hosting an event of your own. So grab you sword, your spear, your musket, or belt-fed machine-gun and join us on this episode of On patrol!

In this episode we take a look at SAGA second edition which covers more than 1500 years of history. We are not taking this quite to the level of a deep dive but we do spend nearly 2 hours really talking through its strengths and weaknesses as we see them. As always we would love to hear your thoughts.

In this episode of On Patrol, we take a look at what we feel makes for a good miniature manufacture. We did this by considering 6 key points for the miniatures they sell and why they matter. Those 6 points are Quality, Details, Integration, Customization, Range, and Price. Our goal is to offer you points of consideration when looking at buying miniatures from a company you have never bought from before. Hopefully this will help new and seasoned player alike and, as always, we would love to hear what you think in the comments below.

Wyndehurst Productions and the Fightin Kentuckian take a deep dive inside the Warlord Games newest ruleset of armored combat in WW2. After playing an accumulative 12 games, we feel we can give an honest account of this new rule set.

In this episode Fighting Kentuckian and Wyndehurst Productions conduct their first interview. Our guest is Peter Van Dop, creator of the BelloLudi family of rules. From their website: "BelloLudi wants to make wargaming accessible to everyone. Therefor we offer easy to learn rules, each with the flavor of the period. easy to learn, fun to play, but with deeper levels than seen at first sight." This thinking is right in line with the goals of On Patrol, to grow the hobby by bringing in new people. We hope you enjoy this episode and give the rules a look, we highly recommend them.

Join Wyndehust Productions and the Fightin Kentuckian as they take a hard look at what makes Historical Wargaming controversial and analyze the validity of the concerns. By discussing topics such as the sanctity of human life, symbolism and depraved acts on the table, they try to peal back the layers of miss information and ignorance to get at the truth of reality. 

In this episode we look back 2023 and how far our hobby and this podcast has gone. We also talk about what 2024 looks like for our hobby and for the future of this podcast. 

Change is almost inevitable in the world…and the same is true about wargaming rulesets. So how do authors avoid the dreaded problem of making something stale…..or even worse making the tiny change that implodes the system on itself. In this Episode Wyndhurst Productions and Fightin Kentuckian wanted to examine one of the most popular Blackpowder skirmish rulesets set in the North America during the 18th Century…..and how this ruleset evolved in it’s 2nd version to new frontiers (Europe?), card decks, command points.  With almost a decade in version 1, and over 3 years in version 2..lets take a deep dive  into both of these versions, talk about our likes and dislikes…and if the ruleset stands up to the brave new frontier of changes…or maybe ends of scalped at the bottom of the bin.
