In this episode Scott and Sam discuss their recent larger scale battle of Armoured Clash. We go over our pro tips, our MVPs for the game and our least favourite thing to face off against. We also talk about what we have coming up hobby wise. We also talk about the Pre-orders for January.

Note: This was recorded prior to the Enlightened pre-orders in February, but after we recorded our Markov unclassified episode.

Note 2: It was the Monarch, not the Sovereign, in case you are wondering.

Note 3: This isn't really a note, it was meant to be something witty, then I couldn't think of anything, so here I am just typing words now hoping something will come to me, nope I got nothing, sorry....
