Built on Hope

First off, huge thank you to the wonderful Brendan Born who has been waiting patiently for this episode for almost a year. Second, huge apologies for the sudden hiatus. This past year has been very busy and challenging, a lot of ups and downs for the Gaos. 

We can't promise regular uploads but we hope you are all excited about Adepticon 2023. In this episode Brendan talks about his awesome experience at Adepticon 2022 and the spirit of sportsmanship. 

We will be continuing to host an event at UK Games Expo in June and we hope to see some of you there.

There have been so many events recently we can hardly keep up!

In this episode join us as we chat with Josh Songer, winner of the IA Command Vassal tournament back in February, about his highly effective ISB Palpatine list. 

Coming up next!

Continuing from our discussion with Noa and Jake last episode, Jake comes on to chat about IACP and our thoughts on the Adepticon IACP tournament as well as four player pods!

Who's excited for Adepticon??

In the runup to the two Adepticon tournaments we chat with Noa about the meta for both the FFG version of the game and the current IACP competitive season. He also gives some pointers for those of you who are interested in getting into IACP for the first time. 

A wild Jake also appears! But he was too powerful and had to get his own episode, stay tuned for the next one!

We are back! Sorry for the delay, folks. Life's throwing a lot at us recently but we are back with a much long overdue UK Games Expo tournament recap and are joined by UKGE IACP Champion Joshua Hunt to talk through his list and the event overall. 

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!

Welcome back to the Academy!

In this episode, Jess discusses some ideas for creating and playing a beginner friendly list using our favourite space wizards!

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!
