In this episode Colin and Paul discuss WWII Tactical Wargames, including Advanced Squad Leader, Advanced Tobruk System, Lock'n Load, Conflict of Heroes, Combat Commander, TCS, Panzer Grenadier and others.

The also discuss a bunch of other block games including, Richard III, Hammer of the Scots, Rommel in the Desert, Eastfront, Europe Engulfed, FAB: Bulge and others.
Notes: In this episode we did not talk about the step reduction of blocks. While I had intended to it is easy to forget such things. Block step reduction is very easy. The number of steps a block is currently one faces upwards. In order to take a step loss you simply rotate it, to repair a step you rotate it the other way. This is clever because your opponent can see you rotate units, but can't see what you rotate, so it keeps the for of war. This also stops having to have any convoluted system of step management to maintain fog of war. However it does limit you to only having 4 steps (or possibly each step takes two hits to reduce). Thanks to Tim for reminding me to add this.
