I went for legions as well, but Dropzone would be my 2nd choice.  40K and the others are covered ad nauseum in other podcasts and forums.  Have you also thought about naval board games?

Hey Jeff, thanks for the feedback! I did address your comment on the last episode of the podcast, but wanted to respond here too.

Generally speaking, Andy and I try not to focus solely on naval miniatures games. We tend to talk about that specific genre more, but I think that’s because 1) we’re both more familiar with it, and 2) there are (rightly or wrongly) more naval miniatures games out there than naval board games. That being said, we both own a few naval board games and have reviewed a few on the show. I also try to research new and upcoming naval board games as part of my “New Products Available/Announced” portion of each podcast episode. I can’t guarantee I’m catching everything, but it is something that we try to cover to the best of our ability.

If there is a specific board game or board games that you would like to hear us discuss, definitely let us know! We do a “naval boardgaming update” on the show every one in awhile as well, so maybe it’s time we did one of those again.

 Lot of love for SW: Legions.

 Have played three games of it, two rebels, one Imperial. Lost all three - One simply because ,my opponent used an all Rebel Commando force with those mine-grenades, whaih are devastatingly powerful for units to use by hunkering in cover and throwing around corners. It's an interesting game system, though much more complicate dthan similar ones, and i'd appreciate hearing more about it.
