So I just want a pint.

Oh, man. You're in England for four days and all of a sudden it's like you're English or something.

Hey, Paul. Hey, Paul. Very impressionable, aren't you? I am. I am. I, I, I form patterns quickly. Paul Shoemaker of... No. Captain Con fame. That's close enough. Okay, Paul, welcome. That's close. Yeah, I like the slight Irish accent you tried there, too. Yes, the keyword being tried is what I heard. So Paul.

1:09.0

I got to get the needle in. Yeah. Yeah. Hey. Paul, Paul Schuemaker, of course, of New England privateer fame and also, of course, Captain Khan. Paul, what are you doing here in Dunkin' Donuts tonight? What can I buy you? A coffee? A donut? What's your favorite donut? sadly they don't have pints no well yeah

I mean a pint would be nice Donuts tonight? What can I buy you? Coffee, a donut? What's your favorite donut? Sadly, they don't have pints.

1:28.9

No. Well, yeah. I mean, a pint would be nice. They sell coffee by the court, though, so that'll work. Oh, there you go. So I have to watch my own figure, but I've got orders from my pug to bring back a plain donut. You know, the little wake-up wraps only 170 calories.

1:27.9

So if you're looking for something light, that'll work. That's true. Yeah, see. What's only, what? The wake-up wrap. The wake-up wrap. The wake-up wrap. That is, yes. My son loves the wake-up wrap. It's very small, but it's a tasty little treat, you know, get you by.

2:02.2

Egg and bacony goodness.

2:00.2

What more can you want? So, Paul, I'm glad you're here, Paul, because Craig and I have some serious decisions to make here. Yeah, we have been putting off this conversation for quite a while, and it's time it has come. Maybe you can help us break the tie. So here's the thing. So as you know, we like to run an event at Captain Con every year.

2:18.7

And we like to run something that is a miniature game generally. We like to

2:25.2

run it on a table that looks nice so people can really appreciate, especially for folks,

2:29.2

you know, we get a lot of miniature gamers, but it's also nice to get non-minature gamers really

2:32.6

kind of understanding and appreciating sort of the, you know, what you can do with the miniature game. The possibilities, exactly. Right. And Craig being an awesome terrain guy, usually makes a fantastic table or some kind of really cool centerpiece. And then we each paid up a few models for the event and bring him down and play the game. So last year we did Beyond the Gates of Antares. And I kind of expected we do it again, although we do try to change the game every year. But, you know, Antares is really good. That's an option again. We could do that. Yeah, but I don't want to do that. But then, then we got into this year. We got really got heavily, and Paul, if you tried if you've tried this yet, we got really into Conflict 47. Have you seen this game? I have not. So Conflict 47 is based on the bolt action rule set, as you may know. And it's actually used, it's by warlord game, so it's the same models as bolt action for the core of the armies, but it's Weird War II.
