The Coolant Pod

Welcome to the latest episode of The Coolant Pod. This time around we'll "briefly" recap the SoCal Open, and listen to Pirates adventures at Southern Assault IV, and then we'll get into discussing maps for both Alpha Strike and Classic. What makes a good map? What makes a bad map? We'll answer these questions and more in this extra long episode for your listening pleasure.

Also, Patrons stay tuned for some unreleased bonus clips from our pre-recording shenanigans. You'll get a sneak peak behind the thin curtain of coherency at what goes on when the four of us get together.

Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up:

Welcome to a new episode where we get up close and personal with a veritable legend in the Battletech community - Bobby Ash. And then we give him a mic and a soapbox. We'll talk about Fortress Minis and Games, a Battletech museum and even might drag a few hints out of Bobby for what to expect at Southern Assault in a couple of weeks. If only we had a wheelbarrow, that would be a start!
