  • Episode 12: Matchup Analysis 3 - Watch out for those Wrist Rockets!

    05/06/2020 Duração: 45min

    Boba Fett?!? Where?!? In this Episode, join Isaac as he brings on guest host Kyle Bossom, recent IACP Vassal Regional 2020 Champion! Kyle stormed his way to the top of the March Vassal Regional, replacing the Adepticon Tournament as the convention was cancelled. Without faltering, he piloted an Imperial Vehicles list comprising of Boba Fett and Jet Troopers to the top of the leaderboard, and joins us today to explain how he runs the flying monstrosity known as the Fett! With a ton of unique abilities, Fett is a very promising, powerful, and interesting figure, and as usual, Kyle's brain is an absolute goldmine to pick for information. Hope you enjoy!   Notes from news: IACP Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/IACP/ Results for Season 3 Celebration Tournament https://ia-continuityproject.com/2020/05/16/season-3-celebration-tournament-results/ Change to the IACP season structure https://ia-continuityproject.com/2020/05/29/let-the-past-die-a-new-structure-for-iacp-release-dates-and-the-approved-playtesting-

  • Zion's Finest: Episode 115 - Mattistyping (His Way To Victory!)

    30/01/2020 Duração: 01h04min

    Someone got lucky in Vegas. That someone is the one who I thought never got lucky. No I'm not speaking in euphemisms. I have seen Matthew Scott Richards roll dice. He is very bad at rolling things that are not garbage. Fortunately, not only did Matt get lucky, but he leveraged his brain power in order to secure the final Nationals win for IA at the recent Las Vegas Open.  In this episode, Matt and I break down why the double Pirates list is so good, how we think it fares against everything else, and what we think we would do to change it for Worlds. ENJOY!

  • Zion's Finest: Episode 114 - Meatbags Will Die

    21/01/2020 Duração: 47min

    There is a Droid deployment card for Scum that is capable of winning tournaments. No, it's not IG. That fellow had his time in the sun but all he's left to do is be a nurse to Baby Yoda and wish that Thrawn and Cats weren't around to ruin his day. No, it's not BT. That fellow ... well, he was never very good (sorry Joey).  Back in the day, oh so many years ago, there was a list that had this unit which was the terror of the meta. The unit could reliably hit a figure from 7-10 spaces away, they could be focused, and they could force white die to reroll dodges. The naysayers among you might say, "Aren't you just describing Weequay Pirates?" Well, no, I'm not, because this unit can't play the best card in the game, which is On the Lam. And yet, he persisted. David from the Michigan Mandalorians took down BRIAN MARKS' Jamal Heroes list TWICE to win a recent regional. I know. I literally could not believe it. But David knows his stuff, so beware the ... oh boy ... HKs. Make sure to pay attention to my review of

    18/12/2019 Duração: 01h13min

  • Zion's Finest: Episode 113 - This One Doesn't Count

    08/12/2019 Duração: 01h05min

    FRIENDS! The final Utah Regional has come and gone, and someone sold his soul to the god of the mercenaries in order to pull home the win. Yes, I know what you're thinking, but I just couldn't run the Box into what was going to be a murderer's row. Scott and Matt were running Vader and the Jets, Joey was running eRiots, AND THE CATS WERE EVERYWHERE. So I sold out. I ran my Worlds list, and was able to go undefeated on the day, beating Joey in the final. AND IT WAS JOEY'S LIST THAT WAS THE STORY OF THE DAY. The man's list is nuts, and I cannot wait for you to hear about it. Joey was able to get through his own murderer's row on the way to the top of the charts, including beating Scott's Vader and the Jets in the Top Four. Yes, it was a nuts kind of day. Enjoy this one!

  • Zion's Finest: Episode 112 - Exploding Kittens

    06/12/2019 Duração: 01h07min

    Friends. If you are running Hunters or Rebel Heroes, and you run into Cats, may God have mercy on your soul. They are so dynamic, they exert so much pressure, and they are able to remove figures that you cannot protect from an insane distance away. Jason Brege and JK came on the podcast to talk about them cats, and whew boy am I afraid of what they can do with them. GOOD LUCK!

  • Zion's Finest: Episode 111 - The Boys Are Back!

    16/11/2019 Duração: 50min

    What an incredible joy it was to get my brothers back around the horn in order to discuss regional prep. The four of us--Matt, JK, Scott, and I--are running three different lists. We gathered to get reps in in preparation for our regional tournament in three weeks and boy did we have fun. We break down our lists, with particular emphasis on JK's theft of David Gao's kitties and Matt and Scott's running of Vader and the Jeeeettts. You are going to love listening in on this one.
