    Q1 Gaming Challenge Announcement - Make them an offer they can’t refuse
    With our transition to longer form Gaming challenges, we’d love to set a real challenge for our listeners. Like crime in Hollywood's version of New York, we want you to get organised! We at Loss of Lieutenant want you to plan and run an event for your local players and tell us about your experience. If you tell us about the event and give it a real fun name, I’ll even put it on our socials for people all across the world to see and maybe come along if they are in the area.
    This isn’t necessarily an ITS event. Just a group of people playing three games in your garage will fulfill the requirements of the challenge. Custom missions, resilience ops, reinforcements, free play are some of the many ways we all enjoy Infinity, so break them out too!
    Submit your entry as a Google Doc to us at lossoflieutenant@gmail.com 
    One random winner will be selected to win a small box set of their choice from a retailer to be determined.
    Q1 Hobby Challenge - New Year New Me
    The New Year means the next round of tournaments, which, if you’re anything like Josh, means a new army! This quarter is a free form challenge, show us something that you have started and finished this year. Is it a model you are excited to use this year, a display board to show off in front of your silver surfer friends, or even a building/table that you would like to dominate on? We want to see it!
    Send your finished entry, along with any progress pictures as a Google Doc to us at lossoflieutenant@gmail.com 
    One random winner will be selected to win a small box set of their choice from a retailer to be determined.
