186th Squadron Podcast

All hail, the greatest crossover in Podcast History! Thule Squadron Radio and 186th Squadron Podcast join forces to record crossover episode 1. We talk about Malmö System Open, how it went and who we met. We also talk nonsense

Kristofer Bengtsson joins us to talk about prep for the upcoming Nordic System Open. Now that everything is Extended we try to figure out what on earth we are doing and what we should be playing and/or practicing against. We also debrief after the hyperspace season, the UK Open and UKTC, discuss what we are considering taking.

We are joined by Andrew Pattison to discuss the OP structure for next year, with a lot of focus on Hyperspace. What is Hyperspace, what we like, what we don’t like.

It is 2.0 release week and we are hyped! We chat about what we will be putting on the table first, what we expect to see. Some vaguely educated guesses about what is over/under costed. Take with a pinch of salt, opinions subject to change before the next episode. We also chat briefly about UK Nationals, which may well be the last time we talk about 1.0. Exciting times.

We’re joined by Nic Harris, OJ Hemmings and Rob Ramm from the England and Ireland UKTC teams.

We have points. We have played a few games. There is a LOT to take in. We give you our (most likely wrong) impressions of what may be good. We focus on archetypes rather than trying to predict the meta or anything outlandish. We also have James back and discuss his experience at the recent ETC.
