War With A Mate

War With A Mate

by Andy and James

Season 1

Episode 80: All The Rage

This week a minor setback proves to be too much for James’ patience to take, as Andy makes impressive strides with the end of Turn Five on the horizon. The History Segment further sets the stage for the First World War and a Common Ground that comes with a lot of baggage, all to be enjoyed in this discontent-filled content!

Episode 79: Backing Track

The guys are back from the first WwaM Live Show at the UK Games Expo, and have returned to the eternal trenches of war. The final Op Stage of Turn Five is underway, with a very lopsided Air Phase due to inclement weather. The mailbag brings to mind Andy & James’ other boardgame exploits, the History Segment sees an escalating situation for the Ottoman Empire and Common Ground really challenges the way we go from Map A to Map B. Sorry about the noise!

Episode 78: The 13th Month

Twins, crab and a lion, maybe? Speaking of written in the stars, the trucks are delivering resources because it’s a truck day! Little in terms of action from the guys today, but plenty in terms of mailbags addressing previous Common Ground, a History Segment that is bursting at the STEAMS and propositions of showing what the very best of us can look like - at our worst.

Episode 76: Lies I Tell My Parents

Hellfire has rained down upon the central column of the map, as the guys let loose their airforces, with the dice coming along with some real vigour today! A Mailbag that brings comparisons to war and Ghostbusters, a History Segment that concludes the Italo-Turkish War and a Common Ground that can only be resolved with a little bit of roleplay.

Episode 75: In Case Of Emergency

What is going on at the airfields? What is going on with charity? What is going on with fruit? The guys are abuzz with questions they aren’t entirely capable of answering, but James demands answers from Andy following a sly and familiar tactical move emerging on the front lines, as the movement and truck segments of Turn Five, Op Stage One is wrapped up and sets the stage for the fleshy underbelly of Op Stage Two.

Episode 74: A Tale Of Two Buenos

It was the best of times, it is the worse of times. The source and solution of the Buenos are tackled in this airborne episode of War With A Mate. With the guys resolving the first air phase of Turn Five, looking to the progenitor of bombing runs in the history segment, and taking criticism of “helpful” suggestions into the stratosphere in this week’s Common Ground. This is most certainly for you.

Episode 73: Reading Out Loud

Following their return from the War With A Mate company retreat, Andy and James embark on the beginning of Turn Five. There’s no holding back this Air Phase, and with their well supplied positions there’s no need to! The Ottoman Empire, Oceania and medical sciences all appear as guests on an episode to be remembered.

Episode 72: The War Room, Part 2 - Rules Of Enragement

With two-thirds of the practice run completed, the guys attempt to make sense of the game they’re playing and the feelings their feeling, only to re-awaken the damming truth that they’re fighting an unstoppable foe. Not that the truth would ever hinder them, these people are foolhardy, as they find throughout the hour of recapping rules and regrets.

Episode 71: The Chill Guys Empire

What weighs more; a tonne of fission or a tonne of candour? The guys clash in the climax, and conclusion of Turn Four, with James finding his supply line in a shocking state and Andy making a tactical movement poised to sucker-punch James’ defences. A Sultan filled history segment, a celebratory mailbag and a cunning-fuelled Common Ground are all in store, grab it while you can!

Episode 70: That Tracks

What happens when an unstoppable force hits a very moveable object? James finds out the hard way, as his plan to delay Andy goes exactly as he thought it would. A WwaM first ever audio mailbag makes an appearance, the History Segment brings about a very on the nose moniker and Common Ground reveals the nature of somethings are immutable. The Fat Controller is very disappointed.
