In the inaugural episode of the Single Malt Strategy podcast Matt (The Historical Gamer) and Jean (The Strategy Wargamer) discuss how they fell in love with strategy games, what they're playing today, and what adult beverages they're enjoying at the moment.

In this episode Matt (the Historical Gamer) and Jean (the Strategy Wargamer) discuss when strategy games and wargames attempt to simulate wars as or shortly after they are fought. Is it ethical to simulate a war as it's occurring? What about shortly after? What if a game is being used for educational purposes?

In this Episode the Historical Gamer (Matt) and the Strategy Wargamer (Jean) go off topic and end up accidentally revisiting Hearts of Iron IV. Jean provides some pretty critical thoughts while Matt is more forgiving of the fourth installment in the Hearts of Iron series.

In this episode Jean (the Strategy Wargamer) and Matt (The Historical Gamer) discuss wars that games rarely cover, despite their importances. Studios like Paradox (makers of Hearts of Iron) and Matrix & Slitherine despite being prolific game developers have a tendency to ignore various conflicts and in this episode we discuss what wars are ripe for coverage.

In this episode Jean (the Strategy Wargamer) and Matt (the Historical Gamer) discuss the new game out from Game Labs, Ultimate General: Civil War. UG: Civil War is a sequel to the 2014 release, Ultimate General: Gettysburg, developed by the modder who made the Darth mod for Total War.
