Mike and James have a great chat with Winnipeg's Byron Mudry, a lifelong gamer who also takes us behind the scenes in his MDF terrain business. We also talk about the vibrant gaming scene on the Canadian prairies, and his love of wargaming Canada's storied First World War history. Byron also schooled us about Trench Crusade and other games that the cool kids are playing.
