  • W111 - Beating the Blues
    May 26 2026

    In this episode of the Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy podcast, the team discusses beating the blues and staying motivated when hobby enthusiasm begins to fade. Every wargamer experiences those periods when projects stall, inspiration dries up, and even getting figures onto the tabletop feels like hard work. The group shares ideas for staying engaged, rediscovering enthusiasm, and keeping the hobby enjoyable when the mojo disappears.

    The team also looks back at Partizan, discussing some of the games, displays, and ideas that stood out from one of the highlights of the wargaming calendar.

    And, of course, Guy brings along all the latest news from the world of wargaming.

    Joining Angus for this episode are Guy, Chris, Jasper, and returning guest Joe Mealy.
