The Plastic Crack Podcast - Season 5 Episode 17 - Does language of gaming turn players off?'

Well it's Monday night and that means only one thing, the Plastic Crack Podcast. Tonight we will be discussing whether some of the terms and language used for historical wargaming puts new players off or whether it simply doesnt matter to enjoy the games. So are you a historical gamer who holds dear to the right names and references? Or are you a new gamer interested in WW2 gaming but are put off by the idea of where your troops should have peadot camo or standard field grey? Let us know
In addition, there will be the usual project updates, news and viewer pictures.

just getting into Barons war and the rulebook is great as it has some history in it as well as simply explained rules. When you love something if someone doesnt respect it at all then that can hurt . Also people do like to show off even if it isnt a conscious deciision

[@BootsontheTable]

great points

[@WargamingHistory]

Catch up tonight for me. I use the same wash as Ste for my stuff, Vallejo washes

[@BootsontheTable]

Nice!!

[@duncanbarker4682]

should say the ww1 game was a participation game at Partizan and the man running it had written his own rules.

[@BootsontheTable]

nice - it looked great

Great show gents, as usual interesting discussion. Thanks for showing my late-Romans and for the kind comments, it’s so encouraging to get this feedback from painters I really admire. Unfortunately at this point the discussion degenerated to “Dom,s hairy arse”:and I’ll forever associate them with that! All the best Andy

Oh, painting or rather basing question... thoughts on mamluks and balkan troops on same style bases as one in desert and other not...? Possibly overthinking it!

[@BootsontheTable]

well i think you could get away with either but probably the Balkan bases should be more scrubby and the mamluks on more sandy?

[@user-se3dx9qu8l]

It didn't occur to me until last night, looks like two ottoman armies... 🫣

[@user-se3dx9qu8l]

I always thought D was for departure...? Anyway, great show as always!

[@BootsontheTable]

i feel i should have known but for some reason i didnt!

[@user-se3dx9qu8l]

Know that feeling!

What has Martin got against Lion Rampant?

[@BootsontheTable]

It’s just not his thing, but I think he protests more for comic effect!
