Someone from Brownsburg (southwest Indy) took one of the other 2 spots. I don't know who else as all my games went the full time.<br /><br />@TKE<br /><br />Oh, you haven't seen fail yet.

I had no idea that a lot of his models had BS4 and some had AP3 Lasguns.<br /><br />The other thing was that my LRC with the Assault Termies were near worthless in this match. Nothing in Sandwyrm's army needed that much killing.<br /><br />They were my MVP the next game where they cashed 4 MoK marine squads, 2 Daemon Princes and a MoN marine squad, but against Sandwyrm I would have rather had more squads of troops to take Objectives.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08325595563469580156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-55773483087383339752010-06-16T21:03:54.030-04:002010-06-16T21:03:54.030-04:00Well, that looked like the kind of game that would...Well, that looked like the kind of game that would be great fun if a friendly...but in a Tournament, gutting to know from about T2 (or earlier) that things are not going to end well.<br /><br />Frankly, Sandy, when I read the excuses, I hoped you were bluffing...then I saw the deployment pic. :(<br /><br />Granted, going second hurts you here, but ouch.<br /><br />On the other hand, well done jollyboy - from what I can see above there aren't really any major mistakes, so well done - especially given relative inexperience. :)TheKing Elessarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04981821487098781957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-18961455144286888642010-06-16T16:55:03.209-04:002010-06-16T16:55:03.209-04:00Looks like it was a pretty good game.

I haven't played at that point level, partly due to not wanting that long of a game, but I think I'll try next year. Hope you both had a good time.Heretichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14998180583172670653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-28431333904190050222010-06-16T16:41:54.839-04:002010-06-16T16:41:54.839-04:00Not a bad start, but if that's the best you di...Not a bad start, but if that's the best you did then ruh roh.

I have been hard and heavy in Fantasy since then.<br /><br />I decided to play this years 'Ard Boyz after I came upon YTTH. So I played 6 games before the prelims and then one with a completely re-written list before Semis. <br /><br />I think I will keep playing more 40k, but I do not see it replacing fantasy as my favorite.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08325595563469580156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-26497273793710559332010-06-16T16:31:22.409-04:002010-06-16T16:31:22.409-04:00Yeah, I thought that might be you.

I think I did pretty well, all things considering.<br /><br />I was hoping that you had forgotten that your other Russ was still mobile, and I really should have tried for a death or glory with the Power Fist in the Emperor Chump's squad.<br /><br />You also did not mention your squad that held up my squad for 3 combat turns, so I could not run back and claim the other objective.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08325595563469580156noreply@blogger.com
