I don't even play war games but I really like comparative history like this, and also enjoy showing the chasm between the pre and post-technology age.Hastur wrote: ↑Thu Jun 13, 2019 1:45 pmI still prefer it to the new stuff. This is what I want from Dan. The Persian series was a sleeping pill and I’ve still not started listening to the Supernova thing.DrYouth wrote: ↑Thu Jun 13, 2019 12:54 pmCaesar at Hastings
Dan rolls out a fantasy wargaming match-up between Julius Caesar and William the Conqueror.
Old school Dan Carlin... if you like that sort of thing... which I do... but I admit I'm sort of tired of it.
How many times have we heard about the +1 bonus for berserker rage or whatever this Germanic/Celtic aggressive quality is?
Not much has changed for Dan... he is somewhat fossilized...
One trick pony... it's a good trick... but he gets a lot of carrots for his trick.
I’m an old war gamer like him so this one was for me.
You should listen to Supernova. I agree with you on the Persian/Alexander one but Supernova could play out to be Blueprint/Ostfront level
