This week the news looks at:

Ares Games 

Slave2Gaming 

Para Bellum Wargames 

The discussion this week is about the game design metagame - the factors that a commercial game designer needs to think about (in my opinion) when they are planning to write a game for today's market.

My free CLAK knight on the cover of Decembers 2020 Miniature Wargames magazine arrived this morning. It's apparently worth £12 for a single plastic sprue that makes one Knight. Now admittedly it is a very large Knight and so the sprue is a good size, but it's not very detailed, I suspect once assembled it will just look like a child's plastic toy Knight. It's nowhere near the right scale to work with anything else I own. It's too expensive to make me think a full army in them is scale would be good to get. It's not even nice enough to want to just paint as a display model. Some weird choices have been made in my view.
