Welcome to Episode 47 of the Podcast and this time we take a look at one of my  favourite Wargaming niches, that is Naval Wargaming. link above or direct from any major podcast host.

And to help me on that journey I have press ganged David Manley to guide us through a minefield of turning circles, broadside markers and wind gauges.

David has been involved in Naval Wargaming most of his life, inspired by his fathers service in The Royal Navy in WW2, he has gone on to a career in Naval Ship design and currently uses wargaming within his course content at UCL.

If its Ancient Galleys, Ships of the Line, Pre and Post Dreadnoughts or Nuclear Powered Carriers, David has written a set of rules for them or desigend a 3d ship for them so who better to help us get our feet wet.

Sit back and enjoy our chat about all things Naval.

The next episode will be out in 10 days, its already recorded. I will be speaking with Peter Thompson who is the owner of Pro Arte, The manufacturer and supplier of paint brushes to Yarkshire Gamer (and a few others !) for over 40 years.

Until then, Sithee

Hey man, any chance you could do an interview of the dudes behind the Rapid Fire ruleset? Their Arnhem stuff is second to none.

Cheers, they are on my list, but I'm booked up until Easter 24 at present, hopefully sometime next year.

Aw man, that's kewl. Best of luck with the endeavor. But at the risk of exhausting your politeness, may I suggest also approaching whoever owns Parkfield Miniatures? I have nothing but admiration for one-man operations.
