    Episode 69 - It Happened In Monterey (Meta Talk and Tournament Review)

    Dang straight it happened in Monterey! In this episode, Scott and Kenny gather to summarize a wonderful small tournament they attended in Monterey, California, in the basement of Ulysses (an excellent and well-known player in the MCP and SP scene). Their discussion glances over the tournament, but is mostly focused on Mandos, the Batch, and some recent thoughts on matchups resulting from their recent games. Please rate and review the podcast and give it five stars! Please also join the Slack!!!

    Episode 68 - A Thankful Meta

    Kind of. Mostly we just love you all and Thanksgiving. In this episode, Sammy Kay and Kenny discuss the current meta (briefly, I promise it's brief) and then transition to talking about why Shatterpoint is their number one game. This conversation was inspired by a post on the Slack from Ace, and it led to a really good chat there and here. We hope everyone has a safe and glorious Thanksgiving if you're in the states, and if you're outside the states, we hope you eat a sumptuous meal on Thursday in honor of your multitudinous blessings. We love you all!

    Episode 67 - Managing Bodacious Bubbles (the Mando Fix Episode)

    It's short, but sweet. In this episode, Sammy Kay and Kenny discuss the Bo update and, specifically, how they think the all Mando list now works. What does Bo and CK add to the Mando + Armorer Box package? Does it take it to the next level? What should you be thinking about when playing this list? How does it match up into the opposition? All this and more in this episode! ⁠Come hop on the Slack⁠ and tell us what lists you're cooking up and let us know if you have any events you want us to shout out.

    Episode 66 - A ZiFi Invi. Summar...eye

    T.S. Eliot I aint. In this episode, Scott and Kenny discuss the ZiFi Invi. Scott went 5-0 on the day running Iden-Moff and Kanan-Hera. We discuss matchups, how lists felt into each other, and then close with (preliminary) thoughts on the new stuff that has released over the past few weeks. Check out the results from the Battle for the Breath, a 22-person tournament in Ontario, Canada, which was won by Kyle Russell running MANDOS!!!! and Obi-1 Mace! Also check out the results from Rise from the Ashes, the last GT of the 2024 year which happened in Queensland, Australia and was won by Jason Brown running all Empire (Iden, Moff, V2, Thrawn). Join the Slack! Rate and review the podcast! We love you all!

    Episode 65 - Getting In and Staying In (An Intro and Buyer's Guide to Shatterpoint)

    Welcome to Episode 65! Matt headlined this episode, wanting to talk about how to help potential players to know (1) if they would like Shatterpoint and (2) how to approach buying for Shatterpoint. While this is mostly for new players, I think everyone would enjoy this episode and we would really love feedback with respect to our buyer's guide as we discuss the factions. Join the Slack!!!

    Episode 64 - Ewok To Remember

    JK's title, not mine. How I wish I could take credit for it. Do you want to run Ewoks? And by Ewoks, we mean the best two Ewoks, which are Leia FF and Logray? Well, look no further, because Dean has been absolutely crushing into all non-Iden Empire lists with this incredible concatenation. In this episode, Dean breaks down his list, why it works, how it plays, what to look for and watch out for, and its matchups. He has incredible insights from an off-meta perspective as to where Ewoks are at, why this list works like it does, and additional thoughts on the Ewoks as a sub-faction. Enjoy it. Take the last spot available for the ZiFi Invi. Join the Slack! It's better than Microsoft Teams (that's for you Winter).

    Episode 63 - Excellent Shatterpoint, Eh?

    Welcome to Episode 63! In this episode, Kenny and Sam are joined (again) by Sean Peconi and Kyle Russell to talk about the Canadian GT, as well as the two other GTs that happened this weekend. There is a major discussion as to the diversity of units at these events and generally, as well as tournament formats and everyone's thoughts. It's a great discussion. We love being joined by our friends to the north. Check out tablebound.ca, which is Kyle Russell's absolutely phenomenal site for purchasing swag, including amazing playmats, sleeves, and more! Take the last spot for ZiFi!!! One left!!! Here is the link for the three-mier event happening in VA on October 19. And here is the link for the SoCal Open!

    Episode 62 - Swing and Sway with Sammy Kaye (in Hamilton, CA)

    You're welcome! Some wholesome goodness for Sam's awesome win at the CSWGO Grand Tournament in Ontario, Canada. The Canadians put on an awesome tournament and Sam took a trip across the border to go 6-0 and bring the tournament home. This episode is (almost) all about Spectre, and specifically why Hera is so strong in that list. Sam has the reps and the results and walks through his logic on why she is so consistently strong. Enjoy his regaling of the event! John Cole put me wise to some upcoming tournaments. First, there is a store champ coming up for those in the East Coast region--the Battlegrounds Store Champ in Virginia. Second, the YHP Three-Mier Tournament is happening on October 19--ZiFi Day! But if you're in the VA area and don't want to fly out to Utah, I suppose this is an adequate substitute. Third, check out the Red Mandos Draft tournament. As seems to be the case with the Red Mandos generally, something is cooking here. We love you all! Join the Slack!!!
