November Monthly Challenge Announcement - Resilience Ops
Now that the new objective deck is out in circulation, for the November monthly challenge we’d like to hear about your games with the new Resilience Ops mission.
What combination of objectives have most challenged you? What wacky hijinks have ensued different pairings of battlefield conditions? How has Resilience Ops changed how your lists and list pairings?
As always, send your entry as a Google Doc to us at Lossoflieutenant@gmail.com
One random winner will be selected at the end of November 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 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 lossoflieutenant@gmail.com
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!
