Wargaming has deep roots in history, but how does historical research inform wargames design? In this episode, host James Holloway talks to Giacomo Santopietro of Sir Chester Cobblepot Games and Gianluca Raccagni of the Edinburgh University History and Games Lab to talk about The Fall of the King (currently on Kickstarter), the first games project to come out of the History and Games Lab.
