AUGUST/SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER MONTHLY CHALLENGE ANNOUNCEMENT - REINFORCEMENTS

The August/September/October “monthly” challenge is simple: Play a game using the new Reinforcements Extra.

There’s been a fair bit of commotion online about this latest update, with lots of knee jerk reactions from folk who probably haven’t played a game using this extra yet.

So now is your chance to test out this new update and let us know if this Extra is a worthy addition

And because the change is significant, we are giving you to the END OF OCTOBER, to send us your reports and analysis of playing games with Reinforcements

As always, send your entry as a Google Doc to us at

[e-mail]

Three random winners (one for each month of this challenge) will be selected at the end of October to win a blister of their choice from Toy Soldier Imports.

***Q3-Q4 Hobby Challenge - Narrative Story***

Continuing LoL’s drive to get people into the creative side of Infinity, for quarter three and four we are asking our listeners to write us a short narrative story.

The infinity universe has a rich and diverse background, with so many source books to choose from, and with Endsong round the corner, it’s a perfect time to create some new stories from the Human Sphere!

Is there a unit or character in your army who has performed so heroically over the course of multiple games they deserve to have a story written about them?

Or is there a piece of background you’ve read or heard about that's just crying out to be expanded?

Well now’s your chance to express yourself through the written word.

Please try to stick to a limit of no more than 2000 words, as these are supposed to be short stories.
Alternatively, a 10 minute audio recording would also be welcome.

Send your submission to [e-mail]

At the end of the quarter we will pick our favourites and give them the White Noise treatment of reading them out on the show!

Because this is a two-quarter challenge, two random entries will win a small box set of their choice from Toy Soldier Imports!

Good luck!
