Built on Hope

Hi everyone! Join Jessica, David, and Tom in this episode to dive into a discussion about building a list around Lie in Ambush!

We discuss the strengths and weaknesses of using LiA, David chats to us about two variations of 4 activation Lie in Ambush lists he has been playing around with, and some thoughts about what you can expect taking a LiA list to your next tournament.

Here it is. You get four brothers, two poems (both Wendell Berry), one rant (okay maybe more), and zero regrets. God bless you all. Thank you for letting me and the crew be a part of your lives for as long as we were. I will never, ever, ever forget it.

Here's the schedule:

0:01:00 - Introduction

The most amazing thing about this episode is that, even with our time in the sun having past, WE STILL FOUGHT ABOUT DOUBT! Honestly, it is close to the most glorious moment of the podcast and I'd give anything to be able to pick insane fights with you all on something that will cause all of those participating to RAAAAAAAGE!

Just a reminder, this will be up on Podbean, iTunes, and all other podcast services for two more weeks, then we're going offline. I'd encourage those of you that want to save podcast episodes that you or a friend appeared on to save them quick. I saw that earlier in the week we got a few hundred downloads of older episodes, which I presume are people doing just this. I have the hard copies on my computer, but I'd prefer that everyone download them on their end. But if you're ever needing one, just message me and I should be able to get it to you pretty quick.

The time has finally come! 

The eagerly awaited 4th Season of the Imperial Assault Continuity Project is now here, and we can't wait to jump into it! With over 20 new and adjusted cards to add to our collection, we go over each of the three factions one by one, reading out and reviewing each individual card in detail. Hope you all enjoy our thoughts, and we will see you in the next one.

Rebels - 17:22

Imperials - 55:06

Mercenary - 1:30:28

Neutral - 2:02:51

Join Isaac as he brings on veteran player Derek Martens, who has ranked highly in IACP Tournament with none other than the Repulsor Tank! Derek dives into the intricacies of using a Massive Imperial Vehicle in the competitive scene, making this episode invaluable to anyone who wants to wield the full Destructive Capabilities of the Empire to full effect!

And as if that wasn't enough, tune in until the end to hear the full Built on Hope crew Preview and discuss a brand new IACP Season 4 Deployment card... And her Command Card. Thanks for listening!

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!

We are in some tumultuous times but rest assured all of us here on the Built on Hope team are doing well and no, Jessica is not annoyed by having to work at home with David singing all the time, no, not at all... Just kidding! We are doing well and enjoying the time together. 

Isaac was unfortunately too busy with schoolwork to be on this episode but instead we have on extra special guest Chris Emmick to talk to us about how IACP is going so far, what the process is like developing each wave and the future of IACP.

Enjoy!
