I understand the time constraints of a newborn, so if you ever randomly get some time let me know.

LOL.<br />@Krox: One of the kids you were to play in the third round didn't seem to have a good grasp of his army either. He asked me a lot of questions before the tourney and didn't have everything quite right. Though man, I'd loved to have seen a 'nid in a rhino.<br />Also, my game time is pretty limited with a newborn, but if you have a standard game day/location, I'll message you if I can make it. :) I'd play you guys again!Pavonishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03172379682694603786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857076307834812324.post-87027241664598000802010-05-10T20:54:29.584-05:002010-05-10T20:54:29.584-05:00I'm really sorry to hear that your first game ...I'm really sorry to hear that your first game was a total dud. Its never fun when your opponents don't know how to play. I am glad however that we (Chad and myself) were able to play you guys in the third game, though I wish it would have been a closer game. If you guys would have played us in one of the first two games when our dice crapped on us the result would have been totally the other way around. <br /><br />~shameless plug time~<br />You should also check out my blog http://peaksofasaheim.blogspot.com/ ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144389521209916515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857076307834812324.post-68984402649841316602010-05-10T00:40:44.405-05:002010-05-10T00:40:44.405-05:00Hi everyone!

I thought I’d share my thoughts on the tourney at Krox’s request. I’ll try to keep it brief since this isn’t my blog and no one’s paying to hear the crazy chaos guy blabber on :)<br /><br />The first battle was the definition of frustration. Two kids that have serious problems playing the game according to the rules were rewarded for forgetting their tactics at home with unbelievable dice rolling. I won’t go into too many details, but in our first round of shooting at a squad of warriors, they had a 1.6% chance to save everything and succeeded (I think it was 6 shots). Things didn’t get any better from there, even though we set our units up in such a way that we were fighting only half their army for the first few rounds. I understand poor luck happens sometimes, but one of the kids’ rude behavior about the game afterwards forced me to exercise more self-control than I typically like to use in a day. Moving on…<br /><br />We got the bye second round because of the poor result of the first game, which was more infuriating than anything. I’m beginning to understand how Berserkers of Khorne feel. However, it did give us a chance to chat with some other players, and we met some really fun, intelligent, and respectful people (one recognized the Final Fantasy character on my shirt, hehe).<br /><br />Krox covered how we got into the second battle with some cool people playing Space Wolves and Blood Angels. These guys knew what they were doing. We had decent ideas in the battle, but some of the key things we needed to have happen fell apart, and the domino effect began again. Looking back at this fight, I think I should have had the Berserkers hang out close to the Chosen, with the Plague Marines forming a bubble around the front to draw any assault. This may have allowed for more than one round of shooting with the meltas. Anyway, this battle made the tournament a good experience for me.<br /><br />Misty Mountain Games was a pretty cool place. They gave us lunch and entertainment all day for only 10 bucks, can’t go wrong with that. I’m eager to go back there in June for the 2000 point singles tournament.
