This week, I am wrapping up preparations to run two games at this weekend’s Williamsburg Muster, including Incursion (with generous prize support from Grindhouse Games, thanks Jim!), and Polyversal, a 6mm sci-fi game of my own creation. The local weather forecast is in limbo between rain, freezing rain, and snow, which may cut my trip a bit short, but I have a fresh black T-shirt, and am undaunted. I hope to get at least one interview at the show, and will perhaps have some color commentary and summary in a future TWIW. In the meantime, enjoy this bit of real-life advertising for the Austrian Army, the Österreichisches Bundesheer, courtesy of Maurice Walshe, and the Bedford Gladiators.
This Week in Wargaming features headlines from Corvus Belli, Cipher Studios, Kromlech, Privateer Press, and more from around the miniature wargaming world,

My name is Ken Whitehurst, and I currently produce a short segment called “The Score” for The D6 Generation podcast. A longtime fan of This Week in Wargaming, when I heard Troy was looking for help, I immediately offered to take over the podcast. For reasons that remain a mystery to me, he agreed.
As you can see from Troy’s posts (and photos) below, his priorities are in the right place. I wish him the best in his endeavors, and am certain we will hear his big voice on the show when he has time in the future. I have been trading emails with him over the past few weeks, and am in the process of rebooting This Week in Wargaming. The show will sound a bit different, but will stay on its mission of delivering fresh news, reviews, and opinions on a variety of topics of interest to wargamers.
I hope you will bear with me as I take the plunge from editing a monthly 5-minute sub-podcast about music to assembling a weekly wargaming news show. I plan to have the show up and running before the end of the year. As I write this, new theme music is being written to give the show a coherent sound. In addition, gamers in three countries are working on contributions to the show’s new format. If you have any suggestions or an interest in sharing your voice with the wargaming community, please let me know.
Im sorry everyone, I did try to get back in the saddle but after returning from the Philippines my life has just not had room in it for continuing the show. I have not even had time to play any games or really be a part of the hobby so Im not the right person to be reporting on it even if I had time for the show.
I have let everyone who has hosted with me know of my decision and there have been some who are interested in helping to continue the show but none who have the time and resources to run it on thier own.
If anyone is interested in coordinating the show on a continuing basis let me know and I will put you in touch with those who were also interested. I hope that we can find a way for the show to continue but if not there is a wonderful variety of other shows that do a great job keeping the hobby community in touch with news and events in the hobby world.
Thanks again to everyone for all the kind words and support and even for the criticisms that helped me to improve the show over the last year.
