In this episode of the "Grown Men Playing With Toys" podcast, Erik and Steve do something a little different — they look backwards and forwards at the same time, connecting the dots between the past seven months of Erik's Crusade League and the most anticipated edition change in years.

Erik is approaching the finish line of his local game store's Crusade League and has thoughts — a lot of them. Steve, meanwhile, has been deliberately avoiding 11th Edition previews, which means you're getting his completely unfiltered reactions. Together they explore:

• The Crusade League retrospective — the highs, the lows, and the moment Erik just let go of the rope on all that bookkeeping
• Why "narrative" and "competitive" have never actually been opposites — and why 11th Edition might finally admit that
• Detachment mixing and the 3-2-1 point system — game changer or balance whack-a-mole waiting to happen?
• Force Dispositions — and why Erik and Steve will never have to do the awkward mission chicken dance again (we hope)

Whether you've ever shown up to a casual Crusade game only to discover every unit across from you is a hard counter to your army, argued uncomfortably over the pregame board setup, or just wanted your hobby to feel a little more narrative and balanced - this one's for you.
