About this listen

Just three guys, hanging out, having some beers and chatting about Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings, amongst other stuff... Join us for regular episodes in which we recount stories from the tabletop, discuss tactics, get distracted by misunderstood rules, admire painting habits and marvel at the lore Para Bellum creates. If you're looking for poorly thought-through list building strategies and uninformed opinions on scenarios for one of the best miniature wargames on the planet, look no further.

  • Ep 36 - Getting competitive with a list that only has two units
    May 11 2026

    Welcome to Joshing Around in Eä! We're just three mates taking a while to get onto drinking grappa...again...and chatting about Conquest...

    This episode, we procrastinate by talking smack about our professional nemeses, before going all creative about miniatures games that are DEFINITELY NOT Conquest, and to be honest don't exist and most likely never will. But there's always hope!

    We also go into a battle report and analysis of a sweaty Hundred Kingdoms list facing off against a Spires list containing literally only two regiments. If you want an excuse to always get the advantage for having fewer cards, after listening to this you'll have the exact how-to for precisely that. You'll honestly never look back.

  • Ep 35 - 3-player scenarios
    Apr 27 2026

    Welcome to Joshing Around in Eä! We're just three mates drinking a lager that looks like a cola and chatting about Conquest...

    This episode, we talk about how the other factions ought to react to the new trebuchet. Would you rather be pummelled by a barrel of boiling oil, or your own cousin? Or perhaps you'd like to talk about the wrong Warhammer Chaos god...please no hate mail about that, we were tired... Thank you for every listener question that arrives in the inbox, we read them all and are trying to work our way through them!

    The topic for this episode is a three-way First Blood scenario that was always going to go in only one direction, and it was all Josh's fault. Hear the factions we played with, the way the scenario worked itself out, lessons we learned along the way, and leave ready to run your own three-person game!

  • Ep 34 - Trebuchet reactions and City States meme lists in practice
    Apr 2 2026

    Welcome to Joshing Around in Eä! We're just three mates drinking a selection of American beers and chatting about Conquest...

    This episode, we talk about the new Hundred Kingdoms trebuchet! The pre-Archangel dream has become a reality. Conquest has its first siege engine in the form of a catapult surrounded by staff members, and Josh for one is excited by it.

    We also hear the reports from Josh on his meme list experiments. Expect to leave as an evangelist for Hoplites and many chariots. Unless you're not a City States player, in which case you may find the depression creeping in.
