The MeG Podcast

Rather than get into some serious history and dubious army list suggestions the usual team plus guests Paul Cummins and Graham Klaka sit and chat about a few MeG related things.

So sit down, maybe grab a drink (Paul did) and listen to what the gang have to say about what they enjoyed in 2022, what they are looking forward to in 2023, and, amongst other things, why catafracts may be the best troops in MeG.

On a more practical level Graham shares some thoughts and information about 3D printing which will hopefully be of interest.

Apologies that Paul's audio came out a bit quiet; we did have some "Microsoft issues" on the night 😒

Lastly, to all our listeners have a great Christmas and New Year, and hope to see many of you at events in 2023 😁

After an unplanned break since the last episode, the team returns refreshed to cast their eye over the history some of the armies of the Korean Three Kingdoms period.

The team each also provide an army list from the period - whether they are any good we will leave up to your analysis.

The 25th and 26th June saw 23 MeG gamers gather at Battlefield Hobbies to take part in a Crusades-ish themed competition. There should have been 24 but a last minute health issue left uneven numbers which unfortunately meant there had to be a bye each round.
