Nicely timed by you all, we only had one game that failed to complete in the allotted time frame, and we were packed away before 10, which was super.

I'll pop up a feedback thread in a day or two.

all because i messed up my first turn against you Gareth, if i hadn't then i could have won on tournament points, also i messed up with the spear men again if i hadn't then it may have been a minor win to me.

either way lots of fun, next time i will run my orcs and goblins to make things easier on you lot

Or the game might have been a win too me. Just because you messed up, and got a draw doesn't mean, that if you hadn't, I wouldn't have done different things, that resulted in a win to me. I could have got my skinks in the building, used it as an anchor point, spent the game running in circles, shooting you with javelins from the building, Skirmishers that you cannot charge, and running away with Krox and Scar-vet. If you charge the building, my Skinks, will still have the opportunity to shoot, if its with your spears, you stand a better chance at whittling down my javelins, than with your A1 St3 5men, and Noble Dragon Princes, but I then move in my Krox, and you stand no chance at the 100vp.

Game could have been very different, and your mistakes, may have stopped you loosing, rather than have cost you victory. It's something, no one could ever know,(except a dimension jumping Arnold Rimmer.)

I can say the same, if my Sorceress didnt blow herself up in 2 games on very early stage of game i could have won tournament hahaha. This game very often depend not only on Your tactical skills but on lucky dice as well.
If Justin didnt avoid moving through the wood he could have catch me on turn 3 with his Warriors and it would have been at least 9:1 for him and so on and so on.

stop the bloody presses!

i realised last night that i didn't include Steve's banner and BSB into my victory points in my first game, that gives me another 125 victory points and means i went 9-1 vs Steve, meaning i beat Gareth by 1 tournament point!

i realised this last night when i thought to my self, if Dave had taken 1 less banner, i would have lost, then i realised i had not counted Steve's banners into my victory points.

so sorry Gareth i beat you by a tournament point and 144 victory points!

now my victory feels justified.

No you entered an incorrect score, so you beat me by 19vp

I could scrub your result seeing as its incorrect. The idea you sign for something is that you are both happy. If I enforced things, then I was the only person with points from all 3 games, so I win comfortably. Your inability to play the game, is not something that can be rectified, at this date. At the moment, your are coming across as a very bitter winner, having made two posts about how you should win by more.

edit -
Round two and three draws were based on your incorrect calculations. So take your extra points, we'll scrub round two and three from the event, wasting everyones time, you can have a 9-1 win and an extra 125vp, I still have a 9-1 win and more vp and more soft scores. Your call.

fair point, i did forget them, that's my fault. and i shouldn't ague with tournament organiser..

*puts sadistic winning streak back into its lead lined box in underground complex.

i just feel bad that that difference was 19vp, i see 2 ways to resolve this issue:

me and Gareth have another 500pts game with same lists (which i honestly think Gareth will win)

or

run a non noncompetitive list next time/don't enter next time.

i feel even worse in that i wasn't trying to win, but that doesn't mean that i was going to play to purposefully lose.
