In the interview, we speak to Curt Campbell, the Sidney Roundwood of the Canadian wargaming scene, the Snowlord himself. Of course, we talk about the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge which has become an international community of over 90 gamers and painters. We also talk about running a games store in the heroic early days of Games Workshop, the gaming scene on the prairies, and why quirky, eclectic games like Moonstone are so much fun. Finally, Curt doesn't disappoint us by making 5(!) deposits into our Virtual Library.
After the interview, during our patented Canadian Content Corner, Mike and James discuss the Canadians in Italy and Normandy. We then ask the burning question: just why are Bavarians are so sexy right now? James reports on his experience of VirtualLard6, and a new set of rules, Packing Heat, that will have all the gun mooks and their molls all jazzed up. It then gets rather Napoleonic.
