On this week's episode, Brad and Eric answer the century old question: What constitutes a good combat patrol for you? Is it a nice balance of everything that an army can offer? Is it a super focused list of models of one of the prongs of an army? Do you mind if the center piece is a named character? Do you care about what is inside or you just wanna see a big discount?
