We may hate to admit it but gaming is a social hobby, we may build and paint our models in isolation, but the reason why we do this is to meet up with fellow gamers and play the games we love. In the last few months, a pandemic has taken away our social outlet with conventions being canceled and gaming stores closed to gaming. Even as we slowly recover and open up our nations many gamers may be rightfully apprehensive to return to the table. So, we may be faced with a long period where we are deprived of the social aspect of our hobby.

Today I sit down with Justin from the podcast. We talk about the pandemic and its effect on gaming and a historical-Fantasy gaming challenge!

Battle Vault Episode 6!  The guys talk about Flames of War and Team Yankee with an interview with Keith Gilmore!

Since the lockdown, many of us have been busy painting our ships and we look forward to the time we can once again play with our boats with our fellow gamers (more on this later). From reading the posts on Facebook a lot of gamers have wondered about which boxes they should pick up to fill out their fleets and the best answer is that “it depends”. This article will help you understand the three different points levels the game is played and what ships will most likely fill your fleet at those point levels.

I have been in a painting slump ever since November 2019. I have had this happen to me before where I go months without painting anything, however with the lockdown and the fact I really wanted to play with the amazing 6th Rate Frigate from so I found myself back at the table.

Our dedicated Battlefront Podcast is back for # 5.

Many of our steady readers may be aware of a great new game called that many of our NDNG staff helped play test. The first wave of the game came with the big battlewagons of the dreadnought era and now the game includes the light cruisers which played a major role in the war doing everything from commerce raiding, blockade operations and scouting for the main battle fleet.

The light cruisers were part of our original play test and we loved playing these fast ships with their deadly torpedoes. Game wise they add so much to the flavor of the game and I feel gamers will love this addition to the game.

Once again we sit down with Mike Tunez, to talk about solo play, upcoming releases (Raise the Black!) and what we’ve been painting in quarantine.
