Bragging rights!

Hello everyone!

Last night I ran my first tournament since becoming a Press Ganger...and what an event it was!

Due to some time constraints I had to encourage some bold play so went with the following format -

25 point Steamroller, 1 list required
3 rounds
All players play each round
If the game has not been won by scenario or Caster kill by dice down it is a double loss.
Painted armies are not required.
50 minute games, 7 minute timed turns, NO EXTENSIONS

To further encourage  a fast pace the Scenario was “Close Quarters” with the following exceptions - The first player to earn at least 3 control points and have more control points than the opponent wins the game AND Killbox will be in effect - So no caster camping on the back line!

Table one

Luke Remnant VS Claire Blewett - Claire wins

Table two

Lisa Hillman VS Mike Oke - Mike wins

Table three

Tom Adams VS Darren Mcnally - Double loss

Table four

Richard Corner VS Hannah Beer - Hannah wins

Table five

Derek Gibbin VS Vini Gardner - Double loss


Round one saw some people struggling to get used to timed turns, Vini in particular had a difficult time with Durgen on feat turn! By the end of round one most people had a handle on it tho!

Rich was quite unlucky on his final turn, he went in for the kill with his Nyss hunters and received this -

Unfortunately in getting the Nyss in to position he had left a lane between a Mauler and Denny...ouch.

Here are some general shots of round one.

 

Round two saw some more really great games with the players getting used to the fast paced games.

Results

Hannah vs Mike - Hannah wins

Claire vs Derek - Double loss

Darren vs Lisa - Lisa wins

Tom vs Richard - Tom wins

Vini vs Luke - Vini wins

This round also had some very friendly moments, with Claire risking the chance of winning the game by helping Derek with a few tactical tips!

Round two pics

The final round saw some interesting match ups, including Durgen vs Durgen!

Results

Hannah vs Lisa - Hannah wins

Claire vs Mike - Claire wins

Vini vs Tom - Vini wins

Darren vs Derek - Darren wins

Richard vs Luke - Richard wins

When the dust had settled the final table looked like this -

1. Hannah - 3 (Trollbloods)
2. Vini - 2 (Mercs)
3. Claire - 2 (Legion)
4. Lisa - 1 (Circle)
5. Mike - 1 (Cygnar)
6. Darren - 1 (Minions)
7. Tom - 1 (Mercs)
8. Richard - 1 (Cryx)
9. Derek - 0 (Skorne)
10. Luke - 0 (Ret)

Hopefully Ill get a chance to write a more detailed report during the week!

Cheers
