Episode 34 - Rohan Saravanamuttu - Wargaming Leipzig

Welcome to Episode 34 of The Yarkshire Gamers Reet Big Wargames Podcast and hopefully the first of 3 December 2022 Episodes. Today I am talking about the ultimate Napoleonic Wargame, Leipzig. Somewhat overshadowed in the UK by Waterloo but the numbers of troops and casualties are eye-watering and subsequently the number of figures needed to play this game are like wise not for the faint hearted. But before we get into the Big Topic I chat with my guest Rohan Saravanamuttu about his wargaming history, his thoughts on Big Battles and of course he takes part in the Yarkshire Gamer Quiz. In addition to the Quiz, there's a great wargame pet hate locked away in Wargames Room 101 and a new Desert Island Wargame feature. We then move onto refighting Leipzig and Rohans new book published via Helion called Leipzig The Battle of the Nations - A Wargaming Guide and take a deep dive into his process for writing the book, his choice of contents and of course the contents. The book can be bought directly from Helion on the link below https://www.helion.co.uk/military-history-books/leipzig-the-battle-of-nations-a-wargamers-guide-to-the-battle-of-leipzig-1813.php?sid=7aac49ae287b74b473de898037d4420e If you fancy seeing more of the book I did a flickthrough review on my Utubes Channel  https://youtu.be/D_J1Kv5Ll0c Next episode will feature the wonderful Henry Hyde who is relatively new to the hobby 😆 so I'm sure you'll give him a Reet Big Yarkshire welcome. That should be out in 10 days to a couple of weeks. So until then Sithee  Regards Ken  The Yarkshire Gamer
