Join Andy and James as they play an unfinishable board game to completion, or die trying.From the first 14 episodes figuring out how to play, followed by their near 100-episode practice run of 6 Turns, the guys are eyeing up the full 111-Turn game that will take them maybe the rest of their mortal lives. With weekly doses of game recap, listener mail, Andy's History Corner and tangent-friendly "Common Ground" segments, this playthrough is only achievable for the Subtle, Humble and Brave.SPI's The Campaign For North Africa is a comically complicated board game that feels like a practical joke. Published in 1978, with no evidenced completions of the 111-Turn game, this is a behemoth board game like no other.Learning the ropes - Ep 1 - 14Practice Turn One - Ep 15 - 37Practice Turns Two to Six - Ep 38 - Ep 87Hiatus - Ep 88 - Ep 99Full Campaign for North Africa = Ep 100 - Heat death of the universeEmail: info@WarWithAMate.co.ukWebsite: WarWithAMate.co.ukInstagram: WarWithAMate
