Direct Misfire

G'day Champs, here we are again with the last of our 4th edition previews.  Join us as we take a look at the newly re-raised Undead list (thank you Mantic)! Guaranteed to be less controversial than the Goblin army list! :o Enjoy! PS: All opinions presented in this episode are based off years of prior experience with both wargaming the Mantic Undead army. Theoretical interactions of the units discussed are formed without the full understanding of the complete ruleset and should be taken as a general advice only.

Good evening Champs! We have returned as promised, with some more 4th Edition goodness; this time in the form of a Goblin army list preview (thanks again Mantic)! Join as as we run down the entire list and appraise it in the similar style of our previous army reviews.  Buckle up as it's going to be a doozy! Enjoy!   PS: All opinions presented in this episode are based off years of prior experience with both wargaming the Mantic Goblin army. Theoretical interactions of the units discussed are formed without full understanding of the complete ruleset and should be taken as a general advice. 

Greetings Champions, we're back once more bearing gifts! Yes, that's right we have some more juicy 4th edition goodies to impart unto thyself, direct from Mantic!  Join us as we reveal and discuss the Cover rules, give the Magic Artefacts a once over, and wade through the swathe of Special rules.  Enjoy!

Greetings Gentlefolk! The fellas are back and this time have brought along a couple of guests: Matt Gilbert and Alessio Cavatore! Join the gang as they delve into as much of 4th edition KoW news as Mantic will allow (we may have gleamed a couple of fresh tid bits).  Enjoy!   PS. The audio on Matt and Alessio's end isn't the greatest and there were lots of times it just completely dropped sound. I've tried to clean it up as best I could but just be aware some sentences are more difficult to understand... Or it could be that some info needed to be redacted and censored ;). ~Bensome

Good day fine folks, it's time for another episode! This go around the guys are joined by Kakwah, as they retread their successes and failures at the Convic 2025 Tournament.  Enjoy!

Shiver me timbers, it's cold down Victoria way! Good thing we've got a piping hot episode fresh out of the oven for you*. Join the usual suspects as they run down their submitted army lists for the Convic 2025 tournament, which is on this weekend! The guys also run through some of their favorite attendees lists, as well as ruminate over who will take top spot. As a reminder, the winners name will be engraved on the trophy; a worthy prize if ever there was one.  If you're thinking of attending, it's not too late! Just get in touch with the organizers and they'll sort you out.  Enjoy! *this is an audio file only and will in no way warm up your being. Emotional warmth may occur but this is not expected.    Link to the Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/share/1AyTEePQ5S/

Salutations dearest of gentlefolk! Today we have a special guest on this cast, Yan "The Man", winner of the recent Briscon event. Join us as he recounts how he bested his foes to take top spot. We've also have returned from the Enigmatic Isle with tales and learnings of the first Direct Misfire event! It was a cracker of a doozy and I'm going to put this on record: it was the most fun event anyone could have attended, fr fr, no cap, skibidi or whatever. Lastly we recap some of the details for the upcoming Victorian event ConVic. There's less than two months to go so book your accommodation, grab you ticket and prepare for a heap of fun! Enjoy!

We're back again for one more Nights episode covering the remaining day of the Aussie Clash of Kings for 2025. Did Sellick get up off the floor of the rankings? Did Andrew sour ever higher or follow Sellicks' Day 1 performance? Those answers and more to questions you'd never ask, can be found in this ep.  We also have a chat about our experiences with the Commands now that we've a reasonable amount of time with them now.  Time for a much needed rest. Enjoy! ~Bensome Remember: Nights episodes are looser, and probably not good for those sensitive to swearing. 

Good evening Champs! The fellas have played there games for day 1 of the Aussie Clash of Kings tournament. They also managed to return back to their hotel room to recount their triumphs and tribulations! Listen to them yammer on about stuff that I can no longer remember; it's late and my brain is no longer working.  Be warned, it's a Nights ep so quality is low as well as the speaking ability of the gents. Plus there's rude words spoken so maybe keep it out of listening range of the children to protect their innocence. Or not, I'm not your dad, do what you like.  Enjoy? ~Bensome

Do you want to hear three seriously elite, power gaming, former masters attendees who are ready to take the crown of Clash of Kings Australia 2025? Well life is full of disappointment kid and Christmas is over. As a consolation prize join Bensome, Sellick and Andrew as we debrief on some Aussie Clash of Kings lists, pick our favourites to take out big prize and lock in their place for Aussie Masters!  We will be doing some after dark recordings over the weekend so stay tuned! - Sellick

What's this? What's this? Another episode for our beloved champions! Can you believe that another year has gone by? I certainly can because that's how the flow of time works. Join the fellas for the podcast equivalent of a turn seven, where they chat about the year that's gone and what's in store for the future. Don't like recap episodes? Well then you're in for a surprise because there's lots of other stuff in this 2024 finale; you'll have to listen to find out!

Join Bensome, Sellick and Andrew as we talk about Sellick's torn hip flexor, Andrew's Only fans and the other stuff like Aussie Masters, Upcoming Clash Of Kings Australia 2025 and importantly Command dice as more and more games are being played.  Enjoy!

Alrighty, the episode you've been waiting for has arrived!

Join us as we discuss some of the more important changes to each army as well as cover every single Command Order available. Enjoy!

ConVic, Victoria's largest event has been run and won. And while the world is going crazy about command dice and the Clash of Kings tournament in the UK, Direct Misfire has been joined by old mate Huw one more time to run through the highlights & results of ConVic 24.    This will be the last time with Huw in the intro as we turn a page with Andrew. Its only fitting Huw is here to forget unit names and special rules one last time with the intro tunes. 

 ConVic 2024, Victoria's masters qualifying tournament is nearly upon us! listen in  to Bensome, Sellick & Andrew as they run through their 2100 point lists, a favorite list each & bold predictions for the 6 game event.    You can can find all the lists, scenarios & players pack here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1DDYzPRQBeP39wNs3QnqPQdAiV7DktWvE?usp=drive_link If you're wanting information on  Clash of Kings 2025 Australia  - you can find it here: https://kingsofwaraustralia.com/clash-of-kings-australia/ Cheers, Sellick

That's it! We've made it passed the halfway point of the year! To celebrate such a feat we've got another episode hot out of the oven for you to nosh on (recorded in May and June :o). Continuing the "Up Your Game" series, the chaps give you the score on all things High Defence and how to beat them. No this isn't just an episode whining about Dwarves because we also have Mike Rossi joining the cast. He's on to chat about an upcoming a pro-dwarf novel which he actually wrote: Honor's Price (not a typo)! Enjoy! PS: Here's a link to the Amazon page to pre-order: Jeff Bezos's little marketplace that sells stuff like Mike Rossi's book PPS: Convic is fast approaching, make sure you grab your ticket and maybe throw a grudge challenge out there: Convic Facebook event page

*Yawns* Bugger, it's June already?! Where'd the last 4 months go? Now that we've exited our brumation it's time to get back on the bike and release some more episodes. Oh, would you look at that; there's one right here! We aim to bring you a series of shorter, more tactically focused episodes where we discuss a particular aspect of the game some might be struggling with. A series which will help "up your game" so to speak.  First cab off the rank will be about Flying Beasts and How to Beat them into submission.  Enjoy! PS: Convic is coming up fast so make sure to grab your ticket before it's too late! https://www.facebook.com/events/2716502248501176

That's it, we're done, Clash of Kings has been run and won! Join Bensome and Sellick (no Andrew due to communication issues) as they recap their final day of the tournament and poorly impersonate Andrew in his absence.  This is a shorter than usual episode as its late and I'm tired. #whinge Enjoy! ~Bensome

It's here, the Australian Clash of Kings 2024! All the fellas are contending and recap their results for the first of two days.  Take a listen and find out if they're doing just okay or smashing their opponents #nerftheherd Before you jump in, be aware that this is a "Nights" episode is will be loose, audio quality will drop, and profane exclamations will be in abundance.  Enjoy!
