Counter Charge - Ranks, Flanks and Kings of War

We are pleased to welcome Alessio Cavatore and Greg Smith back to the show.  We start with an update on the projects that Alessio and Greg have been working on.  Next we tackle the new campaign supplement for Kings of War, Destiny of Kings.  This new supplement provides a framework for running your own map based and narrative campaigns, a seven scenario narrative campaign tied to Dungeon Saga called Quest For the Necromancer, as well as 6 new asymmetrical scenarios for Kings of War.  Along the way we also get the inside scoop on the forthcoming Dungeon Saga novel and the Historical Supplement for Kings of War due out this spring.  Thanks to our guests for giving us another cracking episode!
