Big fan of the naval reading section. Any chance of a five minute segment at the start of each show mentioning new books or series that have come to your attention?

Glad you enjoyed it! Greg and I had fun recording it. I'm not sure that we will discover and/or read new book series frequently enough to cover it every episode, but we'll definitely be revisiting the topic in the future.

Fair enough, maybe a nonfiction focus next time?

Oooo....I like that ;). I'll definitely put that in the segment topic hopper for a future episode!

Good episode! I would suggest the Alan Lewrie series by Dewey Lambdin for naval book series. The main character is a bit, ah, saltier than Hornblower, though. A bit of a rake...
Enjoyed the discussion of minis. It is nice to have some historical game content on occasion. Now, I need to paint my OoB for the battles around Guadalcanal. At least 1/6000 are pretty simple to paint.
