Q2 Challenge announcement - You + Me = Carnage
 
With our transition to longer form challenges, we are finding that people are more likely to engage with both parts of the challenge or not at all. So, we here at Loss of Lieutenant have decided to merge the hobby and gaming challenges! We will still be rewarding two entrants with prizes, picked with a rigorous selection method (welcome to our special guest judge - a random number generator!). You'll get more entries depending on how you adhere to the challenge and the amount of blood sweat and tears you put in (note - please don't work that hard, it's supposed to be fun).
 
It's time for our annual exploration of an underrated and underutilised part of the Infinity ruleset - the Fireteam Duo! Have you got a duo that you love? Do a couple of your silver surfers stare longingly at each from across the pile of shame? Have you never experienced the power of a Su Jian duo'd with anything in Yu Jing? Now's your chance. This quarter, we want you to paint and play a fireteam duo! Extra points will be given to those who tie their duo team in together somehow with a unique secondary colour or decal etc.
 
Send your photos and gameplay reports in as a google doc to lossoflieutenant@gmail.com
 
One lucky random winner and random runner up will be chosen to receive a small box and blister respectively from the Infinity range, from a retailer to be determined.

Q1 Gaming Challenge Announcement - Make them an offer they can’t refuse
With our transition to longer form Gaming challenges, we’d love to set a real challenge for our listeners. Like crime in Hollywood's version of New York, we want you to get organised! We at Loss of Lieutenant want you to plan and run an event for your local players and tell us about your experience. If you tell us about the event and give it a real fun name, I’ll even put it on our socials for people all across the world to see and maybe come along if they are in the area.
This isn’t necessarily an ITS event. Just a group of people playing three games in your garage will fulfill the requirements of the challenge. Custom missions, resilience ops, reinforcements, free play are some of the many ways we all enjoy Infinity, so break them out too!
Submit your entry as a Google Doc to us at lossoflieutenant@gmail.com 
One random winner will be selected to win a small box set of their choice from a retailer to be determined.
Q1 Hobby Challenge - New Year New Me
The New Year means the next round of tournaments, which, if you’re anything like Josh, means a new army! This quarter is a free form challenge, show us something that you have started and finished this year. Is it a model you are excited to use this year, a display board to show off in front of your silver surfer friends, or even a building/table that you would like to dominate on? We want to see it!
Send your finished entry, along with any progress pictures as a Google Doc to us at lossoflieutenant@gmail.com 
One random winner will be selected to win a small box set of their choice from a retailer to be determined.

Join Josh and special guest Tristan as they discuss Infinity's latest sectorial release - O12's Torchlight Brigade. Definitely our first go at this, and absolutely not late. Join for the most mild takes, Josh still hasn't stepped into his Val era.
