Ben, Ray, and Jon reflect on Fully Loaded 2026, which Ray won using the vile and evil Ratkin. We discuss the hot-button topic of Ratkin and what should be done to that faction to lower their power creep, having come off two tournaments in a row of winning in the North-East and one in the Mid-Atlantic.

A quick episode, Ben, Ray, and Jon discuss the upcoming Northeast Kings of War tournaments, including:
A. Dead of Winter 24/25 January in Albany NY
B. Mood For Love 31 January in Hamilton, Ontario
C. March of Death 28 Feb/1 March in Brantford, Ontario
March of Death Lists construction: 2500 on the first day, 2000 on the second. The 2000-point army must be represented in the 2500-point list. In the 2000 point list, units can be decreased in size, removed, artifacts changed, and battalions reduced. The idea is that the army has fought a campaign and has been reduced in size.
For those wanting to skip right to the tournaments, skip the first minute and 55 seconds.
