This episode we talk to Andre about a game in his journey to taking home the Biggest Hat with his first place at the Lonestar Fauxdown Malifaux GT 2024. We discuss the importance of understanding how timing interacts with certain abilities, how determining what your target priority should be can make a huge impact on the game, and also muse about the pros and cons of Bans and dual master lists in major events.
