"Miniature Wargaming: The Movie" is the first feature-length documentary film about the tabletop wargaming hobby. Those who know the backstory surely remember the Kickstarter campaign (both of them!) to get this film into production. While the documentary was delivered to Kickstarter backers in late 2018, it's only recently become available to stream at home. We had a chance to speak with Joseph Piddington, the director and producer, and this is the complete interview, which sheds light on many questions raised in our film review. |
Portions of this interview appear in our review video, but members of our Free Stuff page can now enjoy exclusive access to the "director's cut" of that conversation...which is to say, it's uncut! Our thanks again to Joe for sharing his film with us and sitting down to chat about the experience!

You came here for free stuff, so here's a reminder for how you could win something special! Cigar Box Battle is offering one of our lucky viewers a free Winter Scrub terrain mat for Christmas. We have several of their mats in our club and the Winter Scrub one is especially versatile. You can see details of the mat on the Cigar Box site right here. The video explains how you can potentially win this mat, along with a custom LWTV backpack. Just after posting it, several of you on YouTube said that you do not use Facebook, so we immediately expanded the eligibility to include project photos we receive via email, as well. You can email us HERE! Little Wars TV is BACK! And we wanted to start by talking to hobby thought leaders around the world to find out where they see historical wargaming going in the coming years. Is the hobby growing, shrinking, or stagnating? What are the barriers to entry for new players and--most importantly--what can we do about it? We interviewed almost 20 people for this series and only used brief clips from some of those interviews. Exclusively for our Free Stuff page members, we wanted to share the full, unedited interview with one of our interviewees, Mike Whitaker. Mike is formerly a host of the popular Meeples & Miniatures podcast. Although that show is no longer active, Mike remains active on his blog and his own gaming podcast. He has some great thoughts on the state of the hobby and now you can listen to the entire segment, uninterrupted. Our thanks to Mike Whitaker for taking part in this series!
With our season premiere just days away, we're giving Free Stuff members an exclusive welcome video not publicly available on YouTube. Let's say "farewell" to the off-season and kick off a fresh slate of incredible wargame episodes--starting, of course, with Gettysburg! Folks, it's official! For anyone who did not already divine the tea leaves, the Season 2 premiere of Little Wars TV starts on YouTube July 1, 2019. It's the 156th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, so go ahead and take a wild guess about the topic of our first episode this summer! In both of our Q&A sessions, multiple viewers submitted questions about our club and how they might find players to start their own. It's such a good and important topic that we made a video to give you our Top 10 Tips for Starting a Wargaming Club. This video is full of actionable strategies, so if you missed it, be sure to watch. A couple of guests from other historical wargaming clubs around the country make an appearance in this video, including Joe Veltre of Gods Eye Games and The Acceptable Casualties. We're pleased to share even more tips from Joe that you didn't see in the main YouTube video. Joe's bonus tips are available for you as a member of the "Free Stuff" page! Thank you, Joe!
