The April 2025 Monthly Debrief Video, which is the 4th episode in Season 5 of this series, saw us discussing Wargames for Non-Wargamers. This is not an effort to trick people into playing wargames but a list of those games that we think are approachable, fun and interesting enough to bring new gamers into the hobby.
Also, as usual, we covered the games we played in April, which included a total of 14 games that were played while attending Buckeye Game Gest, and talked about the games we plan to play in May.
We will remind you here that we are fortunate to be continuing our relationship with Noble Knight Games as the sponsor for our Monthly Debrief Video series. In case you don’t know, Noble Knight Games specializes in hard to find games but also carry all the new releases. But what makes them truly unique is that you can find some of the rarest games, long out of print games, hand made games, imported games from overseas, etc. Thanks to them for their sponsorship and we hope that you will consider them first when looking for the games we cover.

The enthusiastic responses to Congress of Vienna in this and your RAW video are much appreciated. It was grand learning how much enjoyment the game provided.
You gents mentioned a full day Congress of Vienna game to be played during the upcoming WBC convention (would that I could join you!).
Considering how many games you play and review, it’s a challenge being able to find time to gain experience with a game to fully appreciate its system and learn possible “best play techniques”.
To aid and accelerate that process, Frank and I published a series of InsideGMT articles regarding strategies for each Congress of Vienna Major Power. Here’s the link to the article for Britain How to Play with Each Major Congress of Vienna Game Power: Britain (2024 Edition) – InsideGMT . It will lead to the series’ other pieces.
Considering your limited time, there’s no need to read all of them. Perhaps only read the one for the Major Power intended for play during WBC?
Thanks again!
