R3 Podcast Episode 02 Segment 01 Review of Hail of Fire

Let me tell you a little about podcasting, should you decide to take it on. If you are the kind of person that can't stand painting outside the lines with a color and have to immediately correct your mistake with another color, podcasting may not be for you! 😃

Imagine such a personality trying to explain game mechanics, without resorting to a script, trying to sound "perfect", all while trying to suppress their Southern drawl (the result of my entire schooling being in rural Florida and rural Virginia). It is hard to do that (attempting, not succeeding) for more than 5-10 minutes at a time.

I decided – after going through two long takes and hours of editing – to chuck it all and deliver the report in shorter segments. My thought was that for those not really feeling this medium, it might be short enough that you will suffer through it. Those that want the podcasting experience might download the segments after they all come out and then batch-listen to them.

My first topic is a review of the company-level WW II miniature game rules Hail of Fire by Brandon Fraley of Retroboom Games. I reviewed these on November 2016. Part One

Too Long Didn't Listen version: What is Hail of Fire and why I am reviewing them. Really short at 2:35


Next Segment: Command and Control in Hail of Fire

Future Segments: Firing, Movement, Morale, Miscellaneous, and Ratings

Oh, by the way, I am going to start working on a separate page that lists all of the rules I have reviewed, what rating I gave them, and links to the posts. So be on the lookout for that. After I get a few more podcasts under the belt, I will probably create another page that links all of the episodes and segments so you don't have to dig around at old posts.

As always, let me know what you think.
