Good evening Champs! The fellas have played there games for day 1 of the Aussie Clash of Kings tournament. They also managed to return back to their hotel room to recount their triumphs and tribulations! Listen to them yammer on about stuff that I can no longer remember; it's late and my brain is no longer working. Be warned, it's a Nights ep so quality is low as well as the speaking ability of the gents. Plus there's rude words spoken so maybe keep it out of listening range of the children to p...

ConVic, Victoria's largest event has been run and won. And while the world is going crazy about command dice and the Clash of Kings tournament in the UK, Direct Misfire has been joined by old mate Huw one more time to run through the highlights & results of ConVic 24. This will be the last time with Huw in the intro as we turn a page with Andrew. Its only fitting Huw is here to forget unit names and special rules one last time with the intro tunes.

*Yawns* Bugger, it's June already?! Where'd the last 4 months go? Now that we've exited our brumation it's time to get back on the bike and release some more episodes.

Join us as we run through all of the Good aligned armies and point out their flaws and how they could be improved.

No need to double check if you're listening to an episode that was recorded back in 2016... (have we really been recording for that long?!) Yes that's right, in this nostalgia trip of an episode, former co-host Spoon makes his return! Following up that old-timey goodness is the fact that we chat Warhammer 6th edition of all things. The trip doesn't stop there; this episode was recorded using the very first mic purchased for the podcast. Such memories. Much wow (and ambient room echo). The trip d...

Cast your votes, read over Ken Ferris (competitor and ...
