In this episode of The MeG Podcast the team look at something a bit different from our usual fare, refighting historical battles and using MeG for scenarios. We even touch on campaigns as well.
The usual team were joined by two guests, Rob Hutton and Simon Stokes, who brought their own experiences of historical refights to the discussion.

Nick,
I really enjoyed the podcast - unfortunately home stuff got in the way of taking part.
I thought you all brought up some great tweaks to build scenarios and provide some different deployment ideas or victory conditions based on the existing mechanisms - all really useful.
Its clear that folk on the podcast are playing games which are not strict points match ups - either historical or campaign based. Please, please get everyone involved to post these up on the FB page and (to a lesser extent) on the forum (as this is more preaching to the converted than publicising the non-competition side of the game more. Please also post the scenario details as a pdf in the files section.
As we discussed at the Pacto event - I am of the opinion that if MeG is to grow in the way Simon wants then this is the way to go as it will appeal much more to the average club player than competitions (no slur on competitions intended here).
So - yes - please, more historical/scenario content on all MeG media - Podcasts, Forum and FB page!
Glad you enjoyed it. WE may just be doing a related one next ;D
Just to add my two sesterces/obols/shekels I found this one the most interesting. I hope to start solo games soon which bleakly will be off piste in many respects from the more usual MeG fare?

A topic definitely to be considered as part of a future podcast for sure. I think all of us on the podcast have dabbled in the solo arena, either for playtesting rules, testing or just fancy getting some figures on the table. I've been trying out a few Pacto bashes to get the feel.
Regards
