  • This is a great Kings of War podcast!

    As someone that spends a lot of time listening to podcasts and playing Kings of War this is a great podcast. The content is amazingly dense as they pack in a bewildering amount of information in a short amount of time. I also find their effort in sound quality and editing refreshing. I appreciate them taking the time behind the scenes to make my listener experience all the more enjoyable.

    Kudos for the team for making a consistently great show and here’s to many more years in the future!

  • Does what it says on the tin

    The Direct Misfire podcast is an excellent listen for any Kings of War fan. Bensome and Spoon do an admirable job of staying on topic. They (and their revolving guests) are knowledgeable, amiable, and articulate. Their army reviews are peer to none. I strongly recommend this cast!

    I only discovered Direct Misfire recently, while hunting for a new Kings of War Podcast. I've particularly enjoyed the army reviews. I would definitely recommend them to anybody interested in wargaming in general and Kings of war in particular.

Q: What do you think about the 2100 points level?
It's unusual, but I think it gives more room for strategic variety without overloading the players with too many options.
