WWPD News From the Front Episode 15

"Laid Back"

Steven, Luke, and Dirty Jon are back, after a little R&R post Cold Wars. The team is more subdued than usual, probably because the drink of choice is water. This time around they discuss Cold Wars, Mobility in Flames of War, Panzer Leader by Guderian, and much more!

EDITOR'S NOTES:
This was a nice and subdued episode- which we all needed after Cold Wars! Sorry if I sound stuffy as hell- can't kick this Spring Cold!

WWPD Live From Cold Wars '11

"LIVE from Cold Wars!"

The gang podcasts with a live studio audience, a cooler of beer, and a slew of special guests! We talk to the I-95 guys, Bill Wilcox, Bob Giglio of HMGS, Joe Krone of Battlefront Miniatures, Rifleman Harris, and the rest of the gang! This recording gets plenty rowdy, plenty ranty, and plenty silly! Steven has just a little too much to drink, and hilarity ensues- listen for the Choo Choo noises! The gang had an absolutely amazing time, and their enthusiasm for Cold Wars shows through.

NOTE: This episode may not be appropriate for children, puritans, or those who hate fun.

EDITOR'S NOTES:
If my drunken rants didn't convey this already- I had an absolutely amazing time. This was our first attempt at "live" podcasting, and we hope everyone had as good of a time as we did! Lessons for next time: Bring more beer (drink less of it), keep up the awesome prize support, have fun

EDITOR'S NOTES

• As always- pardon our horrible pronunciations. That's how we roll
• Don't forget about our contest!
