The Thomas Hill Wargamers

Little Wars FM returns with two new guests--Adam and Dave of the Thomas Hill Wargame Club. If the name sounds familiar, it may be because you've seen their award-winning games at Historicon. Or, it may be because you watched their award-winning Quick Strike AAR, "Rommel v. Tolkien!" These guys took home our overall Best AAR prize in the recently-concluded 2025 challenge. In this conversation, they pull back the curtain on how they researched and constructed this incredible custom 28mm tabletop, how they learned to edit their first wargame video, and whether they'll ever do a second. How long did it take to learn and edit a Quick Strike, anyway? You'll find out!

We also talk about the origin of their gaming group, how it's grown, and their best advice for sustaining a club for nearly 40 years. That's right--these guys have been gaming together for the better part of 40 years! What's the secret to that kind of longevity?

Finally, speaking of secrets...what wildly ambitious 28mm project are they working on right now? They claim we'll all get to see it at Historicon 2027, so stay tuned. If you want to follow the club on their Instagram page, you'll find them right here!
