Bensome, Sellick and special guest Huw return to the netisphere to discuss more Kings of War! "Low point" is an apt description of today's cast as it's all about strats, lists and the do's and do not's of low point games. Also for added value Ronnie send is love with a very important message that no one should miss. Yes it would be easier to transcribe what he said into this description for your convenience but bugger ya; If you want dessert you need to eat your veggies. :p Enjoy!...

Champions! We have returned (finally) to bring you all more podcasty goodness. Our first episode for the year has us straining to remember what happened at the Clash of Kings Au tournament. The heat from the oversized tin shed that is Cancon must have taken its toll. We persevere in any case with the help from the man with more charm than a leprechaun, Huw (of "The Red Jokers" podcast fame). So settle in for a recount of all 28 games... it's not that painful, I promise. Enjoy! *check out The Red...
