## Resource

Welcome to Joshing Around in Eä! We're just three mates drinking some of the cheapest shandy in London and chatting about Conquest...This episode, we talk about faction balance (and get the chance to get passively aggressively bash the Old Dominion in the process), give a nod to our dangerous and expensive addiction, and point out ludicrous rules.If you want to know how to cheat at Conquest by accident, this is the place. If you want to complain about 2-dimensional terrain, send in a postcard. Immersion and the tension between rules, lore, bits of plastic, pragmatism and shooting your own soldiers are all on the agenda today.As always, thank you ever so much for being a fantastic listener to our podcast. We are doing our best to get a more reliable recording schedule in place!
