War With A Mate

The penultimate turn is over, and all tang stands between Andy and James and the full game is Turn Six. A very hard fought series of battle in the conclusion of the Land Movement leaves the theatre in an uncertain state, with both sides taking losses tactically and psychologically. The Mailbag unravels some questionable purchases, the History Segment reveals a fatal flaw in naval development and the guys accidentally stumble across the most wholesome Common Ground to date.

A run along the escarpments, and a position well held. The shift of the conflict has gradually started to focus on Bardia, the place to be! Is digging in and hoping to wait it out really the best strategy for James? Is overextending supply lines over a DESERT really the best play for Andy? We simply can’t tell. All we can do is learn from the History Segment on how not to be deplorable along the way, and learn from Common Ground to eat my shorts.

After last week’s episode mishap, the guys have been robbed of their gameplay time, and so instead delve into some thoughts on the game(s) they’re playing. Armed with nothing but anecdotes, these two marvellous story-tellers take us on a journey through their thoughts, their past, their mailbag and of course their Common Ground.

The most important meal of the day? Over at WwaM headquarters, it’s Humble Pie! The guys continue their intense clash along the North Coast, with Andy making headway on terrifying James. The first WwaM public appearance is determined, all while concluding that some things are just simply bigger than them - The game, its creators, the listeners; and Father Time.

Truck days move pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you might miss them. The guys have little to talk about after today’s Truck Movement, however they simply won’t shut their mouths when it comes to just about anything else.

This is definitively the biggest revelation to date. An episode that sees out the end of the 7th’s History Segment, some heartfelt & heart-aching Mailbag pulls, and a Common Ground that “taps” against the boundaries of what the segment means; all party to the real game-shaking developments that Andy and James discuss from this week’s gameplay.

The end of the year brings an unprecedented end to one of the most enigmatic parts of the game; the camels. In an incredibly ambitious assault on Alexandria by James, both he and Andy see heavy losses that turn their perception of the game on its head. This bumper-sized episode sees another 7th-centered history segment, a mailbag segment that delves into the structure of this project and a Common Ground that encourages the world to be Subtle, Humble and Brave.
