In episode 4, Bert talks about what he's doing right now with his wargaming hobby. He remarks about what future podcasts could look like, and then he rounds out this 40 or so minute podcast with a look at your options for purchasing or making your own natural wargaming terrain. What fun!

Bert talks about the future of the podcast, while playing a solo game of Squad Leader... Then the balance of the show is Bert talking about his reasons for loving or disliking various games and gaming concepts. The last section was recorded on the road, so sorry about the "ums" and the pauses... Enjoy!
