Joined by Firelock Games' own Mike Tunez, Dan, Garrett and Joseph get a full update on the goings on at Firelock Games, including updates on Blood & Plunder, Port Royal and Oak & Iron.After getting the exclusive scoop, we have a great conversation on tactics in Blood & Plunder. Swarm lists (many cheap models) have been strong for a long time in Blood & Plunder, but Elite lists (fewer, high cost models) have been placing high at tournaments as well. Fighting against these extremes on the Force Building spectrum can be challenging! With Mike's great insight, we got over some of the strengths and weaknesses of the lists, giving tips and tricks for how to play them and how to counter them.
