This episode we talk to Bryan about a game in his journey to a second place finish at the Lonestar Fauxdown Malifaux GT 2024. We discuss the flexibility branching out beyond his "core" Ressers masters brings him and how using your clock time to plan things out can have a huge impact on your game. We also announce the dates for the Lonestar Fauxdown 2025!
