The Canadian WargamerCanadian Wargamer Podcast 32 With Our Guest Don Perrin: The Wargaming Hobby and "The Churn"Mike and James are joined by our friend and wargaming dignitary Don Perrin to take a 360 degree view of the wargaming hobby in the midst of "the churn" of where we are as a society - "churn" being the vortex of technological, social, political and economic flux that we're all caught up in.
