    **Introduction and Announcements

    Episode 135 of the “Loss of Lieutenant” podcast begins with a warm introduction from the hosts, who introduce themselves as being at the special CanCon episode, a major tournament event for Corvus Belli's Infinity the Game. The hosts are Jordan, Nick, Tristan and Josh. Josh mentions that he won't be participating in the tournament, but will be there to support the event.

    **Quick announcements**

    Before diving into the main content, the hosts make a few quick announcements:

    - They mention the quarterly LOL challenge and encourage listeners to share their field creations with sand traps.
    - They talk about upcoming events, including Border Bash 2025 and Arkfinity 2025, and give details of missions and dates.

    **CanCon discussion**

    The hosts then discuss CanCon, which takes place the following weekend. They mention that tickets are still available and that the organizer, Chris, has done a great job of getting more tickets. They talk about the missions for CanCon, which are described as very basic and without surprises, which is seen as a good thing for the first big N5 tournament.

    **Tournament predictions and meta

    The hosts share their predictions for the tournament meta. They discuss the missions and how they will affect the game. Tristan mentions that the missions are very standard and that this will allow players to focus on their lists rather than the specifics of the missions.

    **Tristan**

    Tristan talks about his lists for PanOceania. He mentions that he had trouble finalizing his lists, but finally opted for a Swiss Guard list and a Cutter list. He explains his unit choices, including Joan of Arc, Fenris, and Chaksa. He also mentions the changes made to certain units in N5 and how this affects his choices.

    **Nick

    Nick talks about his lists for Onyx Contact Force. He mentions that he experimented with different units and finally opted for a list with Norus as his lieutenant. He explains his unit choices, including Unidrons, Gri, and Thunderbolts. He also mentions the changes made to certain units in N5 and how this affects his choices.

    **Josh

    Josh talks about his lists for Steel Phalanx. He mentions that he opted for a tag list with Agamemnon and an Ajax list. He explains his unit choices, including Dactyls, Myrmidons, and Thamyris. He also mentions the changes to certain units in N5 and how this affects his choices.

    **Winner's predictions

    The moderators make predictions about which faction might win CanCon. Jordan thinks PanOceania is well positioned, while Nick thinks Bakunin could surprise. Tristan thinks Yu Jing's players could perform well, and Josh thinks Tohaa's players could also be competitive.

    **Conclusion

    The hosts conclude the episode by reminding listeners to have fun and enjoy the event. They mention that they will be present at CanCon and will be handing out speedball tokens for participants. They encourage listeners to come and see them and share their experiences with N5.

    **Final Remarks**

    The hosts close the episode by thanking listeners and inviting them to tune in for the next episode, which will be a review of CanCon. They remind listeners to have fun and enjoy the game, regardless of the results.
