DM Missive: CoK 2023 recap ’n stuff
Saturday Feb 04, 2023
Saturday Feb 04, 2023
Hey, do you happen to know what time it is? Correct, it's podcast-episode-released-o'clock!
We thought we'd ring in the New Year a month late, because that's how we roll... and by ring I mean talk Kings of War.
Stop attempting to fulfil your New Year resolutions and have a listen as we talk about the recent Aussie Clash of Kings, and drop a few tasty morsels on the mid-year Convic tourney. Not only that, we run through the details on the National Kings of War slow-grow which is currently taking place.
Enjoy!
PS: Don't worry, your resolutions will still be there laying all forgotten and neglected once you're done with the podcast. ;)

DM Missive: Aussie Masters 2022 lists review
Monday Nov 28, 2022
Monday Nov 28, 2022
It's beginning to look a lot like... the Australian Masters! That's right, just around the corner is perhaps the best event since the last one that happened.
Ten of the nations' most competitive / lucky / accidental winners are gathering to decide who will take the top spot as Australia's best. The lists have been submitted, the first round already drawn, and so all that is left is to take a look at what each player thinks is a winning army.
Cast your votes, read over Ken Ferris (competitor and event organiser) Form Guide for the odds (see link at the bottom of this post), take a punt, and join in on the action!
Don't forget, the narrative event which is taking place the day before is still accepting generals. It's set to be a tip top weekend so don't miss that one. https://fb.me/e/2XKvT0VQl
Enjoy!
The Form Guide can be found on the Kings of War Australia group here:

Direct Misfire Nights: CoK 2022 wrap up and results
Sunday Jan 23, 2022
Sunday Jan 23, 2022
Hark, doth thine ears deceive? That's right, 3 episodes in one week! (take this as an apology for not releasing anything at the end of last year)
It's been a long 2 days with the lads having participated in the Australian Clash of Kings 2022 tournament. Now that it's done and dusted, join them as they briefly recount their games, discuss some highlights and compare their predictions from the previous episode.
Once again this is a "Nights" episode so editing is minimal, volume levels are a bit all over the place (hopefully it's not too bad), and the profanity sky rockets. Anyone with sensitive ears best avoid.
Otherwise, Enjoy!
Ps: we discuss a YouTube channel in this episode. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfCORDh_gubyKjuWpJTo6QQ
