Line of Sight

On Episode 21 of Line of Sight, our hosts are back home and back on track with an in depth discussion on building your lists with the very unique Steamroller 2017 in mind. The current packet is likely the most complex and interesting Steamroller we've seen, and there are many nuances to think about during your list construction. Our rule of the week this week is involuntary movements during charges!

On this weeks episode of Line of Sight, our hosts are joined by boys from the L2Wargame crew as well as our friend Phil. We go over the prereleases and events going on at this year's Warmachine Weekend, talk about our games and experiences over the weekend thus far, and talk about years past. We'll be back to our regularly scheduled, topic-driven casts next week! Stay tuned!

On episode number 19 of Line of Sight, Chandler and Bret jabber on about excitement for Warmachine Weekend! What kind of things can you expect, what are the fun things to do, and what do we think matchups at this year's Warmachine Weekend Invitational going to look like? Our rule of the week this week is Timed Turns, a common clock format at Warmachine Weekend, although it was announced that the Last Chance Qualifier is in fact on Deathclock so part of that discussion is irrelevant! 

On episode 18 of Line of Sight, our hosts talk a bit about building "silver bullet" lists. We examine when you should be opting for a silver bullet style list, what kind of builds may require a silver bullet for your faction to handle, and how far you should go to twist your list pair to handle specific matchups. We then proceed to make what is probably a dumpster fire of a Trollbloods list. Our rule of the week this week is Explosivo!

On our 17th episode of Line of Sight, Jaden and Chandler talk with our special guest Tim "The Enchanter" Banky, co-host on Arcane Assist, long standing Privateer Press Judge, and member of the 2017 Canada Moose WTC team, about dealing with emotional response to Warmachine games, or any game you're passionate about. This can be a very complex issue with a lot of different, and often very personal, reasons behind it, but we attempt to talk about it as honestly as possible and talk a bit about common reasons to go on tilt and how to either avoid them or come back from the brink of rage! Our rule of the week this week is Judge rulings on arguable game states. 

On Episode 16 of Line of Sight, our hosts go over some of the more common options you might see now that mercenaries and minions are allowed (in limited fashion) into most theme forces. Our rule of the week this week is Ranking Officers and the Partisan rule for Mercs/Minions in theme forces.

On this weeks episode, we have a chat with Privateer Press Developer Will Pagani about the development behind the September theme force update, as well as a bit about the process behind CID  and what kind of information is most useful to the development team. Our rule of the week this week is how attachments work with Warcasters and Warlocks!

On Episode 14 of Line of Sight, our hosts go over a bit about what to expect going into your very first convention! Some travel tips, what things to bring and look out for, how to survive multiple long days of gaming, and what kind of things can you expect to see and enjoy. Our rule of the week is a CID special for the new rule 'Last Word' and how it interacts with healing effects.

On unlucky episode number 13 of Line of Sight, we break the regular format to answer a ton of questions pooled from listeners across social media. Tons of great questions, thanks so much for the support!

On this weeks surprisingly Canadian episode, Bret and Chandler talk a bit about... meta, in all its forms, be it the metagame, your local meta, or the larger tournament/national/world meta. We wish Jaden luck while he's out at Attack X! Our rule of the week this week is a meta-rule; how to ask about rules, rules about clocks, and how to handle rules disputes at an event.

With the World Team Championship coming soon, Line of Sight decides to talk a bit about team tournaments. A very different beast to regular tournaments, team tournaments have very different preparation, play, and use of data vs. a regular event. Our rule of the week this week is about dice boosting and math!

We go over a bit about the current lineup of theme forces prepping for release in the month of September, as well as a few running through the late August - early September CID cycle. We also draw our names for our first quarterly raffle!

On Episode 9 of Line of Sight, a special episode original live streamed on Twitch.tv, Jaden and Chandler thoroughly go over every model that went up on the August 24th, 2017 CID cycle for the 12 Factions of Christmas, as well as a quick glance over the Dynamic Update preview posted the same day. Bret was travelling, but we'll be going over the theme forces in the CID with him next week! Stay tuned next week for our Patreon raffle!

Episode 8 of Line of Sight is all about feats! Except for the huge chunk of the episode devoted to Jaden's overview of his games at the recent Mox Boarding House Invitational in Seattle, taking his Grymkin out for a real competitive spin for the first time after Lock and Load. 

On episode 7 of Line of Sight, our hosts touch on some news throughout the week, go over the steps that occur when a model is killed, and then talk a bit about list building in SR 2017.
