Built on Hope

Join Isaac, Jess and David as they take a deep dive into each individual card released with the latest wave of IACP.

With the launch of IACP Season 6, we see a brand new era for Imperial Assault. Featuring fan-favorite characters from The Mandalorian Season 2, this season is sure to shake up the way that each faction can play on the tabletop; seemingly for the better!

IN-PERSON IMPERIAL ASSAULT!

At long last, in-person games are returning to our favorite tabletop games! In this episode, join the full Built on Hope Crew as we discuss this upcoming event, what lists we plan to run, what we expect to see, and so much more!

Stay tuned for Part 2, where we take a deep dive into IACP Season 6 and all of it's magic, from Moff Gideon to Bib Fortuna to a brand new Squad Upgrade for the Rebel faction. See you soon!

Back at it again! 

In this (Old, but newly edited and released) episode, join Isaac and David as we bring on new IACP Steering Committee member Josh Songer, to discuss his experiences with the Committee, before taking a deep dive into Season 5, and a rather curious tangent into the concept of auto-includes!

See you in the next one!

Insert screeching Tusken sound

In this episode, Isaac, David, and Jess bring on veteran Imperial Assault player Joey, who was crazy enough to run Tusken Raiders at a VST... AND MADE THE TOP CUT! We dive head-first to learn all about the importance of aggressiveness, positioning, aggressiveness, aggressiveness... Did I mention aggressiveness? I feel like we mention it a few times during the episode...

With Joey being as awesome of a Melee player as he is, we get to really delve deep into why 2-figure melee Brawler groups can be so incredibly strong in the right hands. Hope you enjoy!

Tis that time again!

In this Episode, Isaac, David and Jess sit down and take a look at the ENOURMOUS Season which is IACP S5. We see fixes from the Wampa to Captain Terro, and gain a plethora of brand new Imperial Assault characters, such as Mara Jade, HK-47, and Dr Aphra (Oh my!). We could not be more excited, and look forward to sharing this season with you all in the upcoming months!

In this episode, Isaac brings on three veteran Imperial Assault players - Jake, Kyle, and Morgan - to discuss the Zabrak in the room: Maul and his trusty Darksaber. After the red-skinned alien took the three Jetpack Cup VSTs by storm, we knew it was high time to take a look at the fallen Sith, analyze his strengths and weaknesses, and the different ways to play him by comparing 4 Top-Tier Tournament lists featuring the man himself.

We hope you enjoy, have a very Merry Christmas and a glorious New Year!

We are back, and so is Olly! In this latest Matchup Analysis Episode, we take a look at the one deployment which was featured in both the very different winning lists of the Season 3 Vassal Seasonal Tournaments: Royal Guards. Isaac, Jessica, and Olly take a deep dive into both of the Tournament-winning lists, discussing strengths (of which there are many) and weaknesses (Of which there are few) of each.

Enjoy the show!

Hi there, Built on Hope and Zion’s Finest listeners!

Jessica here with a short update. (I tried to upload this audio update a few weeks ago but got a you have uploaded too much this month error message). You may have noticed some changes to your podcast experience. As most of you know, Kenny, of the Zion’s Finest podcast, has released his last episode and is no longer continuing the Zion’s Finest podcast. Kenny has officially hung up his hat and stopped hosting the podcast on his Podbean. I felt that it was a complete tragedy for the podcast to not have a place on the internet for listeners to enjoy so asked Kenny if he wanted us, Built on Hope, to host his episodes (since we are paying for our own podcast anyways). He agreed! Thus the Build on Hope Podbean became the new home for the Zion’s Finest archive.

Now…because of how the “import” function works on Podbean, all of you Zion’s Finest listeners have been teleported along with the episodes! That was not actually intentional and I apologise for any confusion or trauma that may have caused, sorry Derek! We are currently working on labelling  the Zion’s Finest episodes so that they are easier to find but it’s going to take us a little time. Unlike Kenny I do actually sleep so…yeah.

Anywho! For anyone that doesn’t know us, Built on Hope is a podcast dedicated to discussing competitive Imperial Assault mostly focused on IACP (the IA continuity project). We try to release episodes every few weeks.

Happy listening everyone!
