Friends- anyone who listens to this show knows how much I like the game Bloody Big Battles, by Chris Pringle. It's really a perfect classroom wargame, for all sorts of reasons. Thus- this was a great podcast to record, as I welcomed Chris back to the show, who brought author Mark Smith along for the ride! Mark wrote the Napoleonic supplement for BBB, as well as the very recently published scenario book, Bloody Big Peninsular Battles! We talk all things Napoleonics and BBB on this episode! Enjoy it!

Pico Armor- what do I say? These guys are simply the best distributor when it comes to small scale, 2mm/3mm figures! I will be showcasing their products this coming February, 2027, when I begin to use their Seven Years War figures in my classroom. If you’re interested in their products, John and Greg are super easy to work with, and are all around great guys. Here is a link to their website:
