Boba Fett?!? Where?!?
In this Episode, join Isaac as he brings on guest host Kyle Bossom, recent IACP Vassal Regional 2020 Champion! Kyle stormed his way to the top of the March Vassal Regional, replacing the Adepticon Tournament as the convention was cancelled. Without faltering, he piloted an Imperial Vehicles list comprising of Boba Fett and Jet Troopers to the top of the leaderboard, and joins us today to explain how he runs the flying monstrosity known as the Fett! With a ton of unique abilities, Fett is a very promising, powerful, and interesting figure, and as usual, Kyle's brain is an absolute goldmine to pick for information. Hope you enjoy!

Hello again dear listeners!
We are in some tumultuous times but rest assured all of us here on the Built on Hope team are doing well and no, Jessica is not annoyed by having to work at home with David singing all the time, no, not at all... Just kidding! We are doing well and enjoying the time together.
Isaac was unfortunately too busy with schoolwork to be on this episode but instead we have on extra special guest Chris Emmick to talk to us about how IACP is going so far, what the process is like developing each wave and the future of IACP.
Enjoy!

Someone got lucky in Vegas. That someone is the one who I thought never got lucky. No I'm not speaking in euphemisms. I have seen Matthew Scott Richards roll dice. He is very bad at rolling things that are not garbage.
Fortunately, not only did Matt get lucky, but he leveraged his brain power in order to secure the final Nationals win for IA at the recent Las Vegas Open.
In this episode, Matt and I break down why the double Pirates list is so good, how we think it fares against everything else, and what we think we would do to change it for Worlds.
ENJOY!

There is a Droid deployment card for Scum that is capable of winning tournaments. No, it's not IG. That fellow had his time in the sun but all he's left to do is be a nurse to Baby Yoda and wish that Thrawn and Cats weren't around to ruin his day. No, it's not BT. That fellow ... well, he was never very good (sorry Joey).
Back in the day, oh so many years ago, there was a list that had this unit which was the terror of the meta. The unit could reliably hit a figure from 7-10 spaces away, they could be focused, and they could force white die to reroll dodges. The naysayers among you might say, "Aren't you just describing Weequay Pirates?" Well, no, I'm not, because this unit can't play the best card in the game, which is On the Lam.
And yet, he persisted. David from the Michigan Mandalorians took down BRIAN MARKS' Jamal Heroes list TWICE to win a recent regional. I know. I literally could not believe it. But David knows his stuff, so beware the ... oh boy ... HKs.
Make sure to pay attention to my review of the next few weeks for closing up shop. I LOVE YOU ALL.

After the news that Adepticon will be the last FFG OP event for Imperial Assault, many of us are wondering what the future holds.
Well it's not all bad news! IACP in the UK scene is thriving and shows a lot of promise for keeping the community going. Join us for a recap of the IACP Regional in Milton Keynes from the players themselves!
In this episode we don't have just one guest but many! We conducted a myriad of interviews before, during, and after to hear from a variety of players what their experience was like. Congratulations to Sam Whitaker (spoiler alert) for his IACP regional win!
