The MeG Podcast

The MeG Podcast team are back with a look back at the recent SkullRollers competition held at Battlefield Hobbies, and they are joined by a guest, Andy Catlow.

To see what they thought about the competition, have a listen.

Some brief notes to accompany the podcast can be found here - https://gamer-at-the-end-of-time.blogspot.com/2025/11/the-meg-podcast-series-6-episode-2-look.html

After a quite long hiatus, The MeG Podcast is back again for an episode where the team chat about hoplites and how they did against non-hoplite enemies, plus some discussion of the proposed competition amendments.

The MeG podcast is back again for an episode where the team chat about rivers and a number of troops types used in recent competitions that caught our attention.

The MeG podcast is back for an episode covering the complex period of Chinese history from the Sixteen Kingdoms period to the rise of the Tang dynasty.

 

Richard takes us through the history along with a helpful flow chart of dynasties, and we all bring an army list for discussion.

The MeG podcast is back for an episode inspired by a post on the MeG Forum asking about the differences between catafracts and knights.

The usual suspects, Richard, Matt and Nik, discuss these troops and have a couple of lists for your consideration.

The lists discussed can be found on the blog - https://gamer-at-the-end-of-time.blogspot.com/2025/03/the-meg-podcast-series-5-episode-3.html

 

Been a while, but the podcast crew are back with what we will loosely call a "Christmas Special". No single topic this time, but we chat on a few topics with a special guest.

Hope you enjoy it.

Lists discussed can be found here - https://gamer-at-the-end-of-time.blogspot.com/2024/12/the-meg-podcast-series-5-episode-2-2024.html

 

The podcast team return after a bit of a summer break and bring you a new podcast on a bit of a different topic.

In this episode we look at Allies.

Most of the lists mentioned in the podcast can be found on the blog at - https://gamer-at-the-end-of-time.blogspot.com/2024/09/the-meg-podcast-series-5-episode-1.html

We thoroughly enjoyed making this episode - something a bit different - and hope you do as well. If you have any ideas for future content please drop us a line at nikgaukroger@blueyonder.co.uk

 

The MeG Podcast team are back with a look at 10th century Britain and in particular the Battle of Brunanburh.

The usual team of Richard Jeffrey-Cook, Matt Haywood and Nik Gaukroger were joined by Simon Stokes who has run a big MeG game of the battle at his club, the Luton Lancers. He has kindly made the information used available to us for this podcast and it can be found in the show notes along with other links and army lists at:

The usual team of Richard Jeffrey-Cook, Matt Haywood and Nik Gaukroger were joined by Paul Stovell to have a wide ranging conversation about terrain in MeG.

Hopefully this discussion is informative and gets players thinking about how terrain works and is used in MeG, as well as how we represent it on the table. 

In this episode of The MeG Podcast the team look at some armies, and enemies, from the Southeast Asia list PDF - possibly one of the more obscure of the list PDFs for many players. As usual we have some history and answer some questions posed by our listeners.
