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. ;)

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!

Direct Misfire have gotten their hands on the new fancy red book for Kings of War! One book to rule them all* (until 4th edition).

If you've ever played with or against: Abysall Dwarfs, Ogres, Basilean, Salamanders, cavalry, giants or any special items you may want to have a listen! We've decided to take a Disney+ and break these episodes down into around 30 minutes of bite size chunks for you to digest! Enjoy!

Its true, Ogre's have many layers. Luckily for you and your delicate eyes; Bensome, Sellick and Huw peal them back as they deep dive into the inner workings of the much anticipated Ogre Army list.
We talk through all of the heavy weights and the red shirt wearing little guys and of course some of the best characters in the game of Kings of War.
Let us know what you think! Are we wrong? Are we right? Are Boomer chariots actually amazing?
Enjoy!

Join Bensome and Huw as they dive into a delicate but delicious debrief of the most recent tournament in Melbourne Victoria. While the naming convention and creativity of Mikes tournaments may have fallen to the wayside; the attendance and calibre of opponents has continued its momentum.
Special call out to the Geelong contingent of gamers for making the trip over to max out capacity of this tournament.

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
