Episode 54 - Nigel Atter - WW1 in Mesopotamia

Hello everyone and welcome once again to the Yarkshire Gamers Reet Big Wargames Podcast as I reach the 54th episode. In a bit of an extended introduction I go through and explain a recent change in my guest booking process. Before moving onto the main course. Today my guest is Nigel Atter who is a WW1 historian with a couple of books to his name who has studied one of my favourite campaigns of history to recreate, The Great War in Mesopotamia. Its a fascinating area to look at and very different to the more commonly studied war on the Western Front. My guest is no stranger to the wargaming table as well so we look at his own personal wargaming and history story before doing the features session, skipping over the usual Big Game chat to give us more time to concentrate on the main topic. Nigels books can be obtained via Helion on the link below,   Nigel Atter - Biography | Helion & Company | Military History Books Hope you enjoy the episode and maybe get a taste for the Campaign yourself. My next episode will see me talking with the authors of the WW2 rule set Rapid Fire, Richard Marsh and Colin Rumford. Until then, Sithee Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer
