Lots to love about this episode. Primarily I am impressed that you put so much effort into learning and playing some important and varied WW1 games, it was no small commitment. The level of discourse was also high considering that you are not WW1 experts. It was easily the best piece I have ever heard on WW1 games. My only critique would be that as far as I can see the rules that invalidate a German short line of defence strategy have been posted on GMT's site since 2010. With popular board games I think its absolutely worth checking whether you are using the most up to date rule set available. To use a set of rules that pre-date 2010 meant that you subsequently had less time to cover some of the more interesting elements and critiques of PoG which was a shame.
