This month, John and Dan begin a new year of shows giving the Rattlehead Games Rules Review of Anima: Tactics as well as the game's associated line of miniatures.  The show also contains a review of Historicon and a year-end review of the podcast, the future of the podcast and John and Dan's favorite games in each genre.  Unfortunately Episode 13 is somewhat unlucky, however, as the number 13 jinx corrupted the mail call segment; so, this episode has no mail call.

All About Miniatures makes it to Episode 2 and begins with mail call in which your hosts John and Dan spend entirely too much time answering the listener question "How did you get started in the hobby?"  We then continue with a review of Flames of War version 2.  Finally, rather than save content until next month, we split the show into two parts that will fit onto a CD based on listener feedback that some folks burn the show on CD and listen to them in that way.
