Gamer at the End of Time

  For the first MeG Podcast of 2023 the team, plus special guests, look at the Nikephorian Byzantines - their history and army lists. A popular army choice, but one that can be a bit tricky to get a list you like from. Hopefully the team give you something to help with this, or maybe not ...

  As we try to do after each competition here are lists used at the MeG Ice and Fire 2023 competition held at Battlefield Hobbies . No promise as to their efficacy, that is all down to the player and, of course, the dice ...

  In part one of this write up we saw how my Ilkhanate army fared against Qin and Bantu on the first day of the 2023 running of the MeG Ice & Fire competition. That left me in "mid-table mediocrity"; would day 2 see me improve. Read on ...

  The first UK MeG competition of 2023 took place at Battlefield Hobbies and was a repeat of the popular "Ice & Fire" theme from January last year. Basically it was armies outside of Europe (sort of). I went with my 2020 lockdown army build of Ilkhanate. As the title may suggest it didn't go as well as maybe hoped, but was still a great weekend with fun games. Read on for details ... 

  In this last episode of The MeG Podcast for 2022 the team and guests sit down for a bit of a rambling chat looking back and 2022, forward to 2023, and a few other things. Hopefully a bit of light entertainment for you for the holiday ...

  The last weekend in November saw me back in Preston for a MeG competition, this one based around the Plantagenets and their enemies - with a few liberal additions. Last competition there I won, but that seemed unlikely this time. To find out why, and how I did, read on ...

  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. Read on for the link to the podcast and the army lists discussed ...

  As we try to do after each competition here are the lists used at the MeG competition at Warfare 2022. No promise as to their efficacy, that is all down to the player and, of course, the dice ...

  Warfare 2022 was held at the usual mid-November date but at a new venue -  Farnborough Exhibition Centre. The new venue is excellent and will hopefully be used for many years to come. I decided to take my "late" Romans along as the MeG theme was "Rome and its Enemies". I have previously had reasonable success with this army, but how would I do with a new list I had come up with ...

  The last weekend in October saw the MeG regulars, plus some less than regulars, gather at Boards and Swords Hobbies in Derby for the 5th running of Will Denham's Derventio competition. I took an all time favourite of mine, Middle Sasanid Persians. Read on to see how they did ...
