If you are looking for the best online vendor for the cheapest Axis & Allies minis on the net, then look no further than 12-7-Games.com. They are a dream to deal with because of their stellar customer service. I’ve purchased cases of War at Sea minis from them and they’ve always shipped the models quickly in secure packaging. Whenever I’ve had a question they’ve always responded quickly. Bill Dettmers, the owner of 12-7-Games.com, consistently goes the extra mile to provide the best shopping experience for his customers.

Please consider 12-7-Games.com for your gaming needs and tell them Jonathan sent you. You won’t regret it. I promise.

]]> CWF GameCast Episode 38: Historical Gaming Roundup http://www.wargamingforums.com/testblogging/cwf-gamecast-episode-38-historical-gaming-roundup/ Tue, 09 Nov 2010 06:14:22 +0000 http://wargamingforums.com/?p=3283 This is an “old style” podcast. Tom and I will be co-hosting the new style soon.

I discuss my appearance on the Stone Ape Podcast. You can listen to it at Stone Ape #19: New England Gaming Vegas with Jonathan Reinhart [October 31, 2010]. An update on my Flames of War Panzerkompanie along with my disappointment with slow ordering of FoW product from some distributors for brick and mortar game stores. A plug for historical gaming night at Battleground Games is provided. I share thoughts on the need for a zombie RPG perhaps combining BG Weird War II and The Walking Dead. The episode concludes with progress on our new graphics and a message about our sponsor, 12-7-Games.com.

I hope you enjoy this episode of the CWF GameCast and I am eager for your feedback (both positive remarks and constructive criticism).

This is hopefully the last of the old style of podcasts. I am officially returning to podcasting. Details pertaining to frequency and schedule are being ironed out but the podcast will focus, along with the blog, on historical gaming and New England gaming.

I discuss the podcast’s new direction in this episode alone with some new Flames of War releases and a great deal on pre-ordering the new set of War at Sea titled Fleet Commander, which releases December 7, 2010. Additionally, I explain why I am returning to podcast and discuss my recent guest appearance on Tom Barbalet’s Stone Ape Podcast.

I hope you enjoy Episode 37 of the CWF GameCast and I am eager for your feedback (both positive remarks and constructive criticism). It has been a long time since I’ve done this and I need to get in the hang of things again.

NOTE* My apologies to Tom. At one point during the episode I refer to the Model Rail Radio as Model Rail Railroad. I regret the error.
