S3E11: How expensive is wargaming - really?

This week the lads break down some popular wargames and maybe not-so popular hobbies to find out the answer to the age old question, "How expensive is wargaming - really?". The boys cover Warhammer 40k, as well as Bolt Action, Test of Honour and King's of War: Armada, but they also look into fly fishing, prospecting, camping and Fox's favourite hobby he can only describe as "backyard chickens". This is a numbers packed episode so have your dual powered Casio calculators at the ready.
