Join Oriskany, Piotr, and Marty for another episode of the Sitrep Podcast, where we discuss what’s new in the world of Historical Military Wargaming, go over what we’ve been doing in the hobby, and review some great hobby contributions from the Sitrep Podcast Community!

Our topic today is Private Military Contractors and other “irregular” forces in wargaming.

There’s been some talk on our Discord lately – Looks like HK Ops might make a limited comeback. Maybe four-episode run or some such. This again brings up the idea of Military Role-Playing and the specific obstacles that sub-genre tends to present. One potential way around these issues: the PMC.

Partisans, insurgents, and militia are other possible routes, presenting opportunities where people can be involved in a conflict no matter their age, nationality or even gender.

Now … how does that work in wargaming?

How does it work when your toy soldiers don’t necessarily have to do what you tell them to?

Might make for a fun listen while hobbying or painting. Hope you enjoy!
