Another Wargames Workshop Tourney

Tank

Mongoose
Well another Wargames Tourney and another face off with Gregs "Crew" :lol:

An altogether enjoyable day in which I managed to play against no one that came up with me but my fellow travellers all managed to play each other :lol: Only downside was lack of time for a pub visit afterwards and the M1 turning into a parking lot!!!

My fleet:

1 x Omega
1 x Nova
3 x Artemis
1 x Olympus

First time using 3rd Age in a tourney and a respectable 3rd

Playing against Greg's Early EA in my first Game and things got close, with honours being very close although I think I edged it once I blew out both his Oly Gunships and his normal Corvettes, once more my Artemii were worth their proverbial weight. I came out of that with a 15-5 Victory after losing my Nova & Olympus compared against Gregs Nova, 2 x Gunships, 2 x Corvettes.

My Second Game was against the ever cheerful Da Boss and his dayglo Centauri 1 x Liati, 1 x Balvarin, 1 x Corvan, 2 x Demos and the ever present Maximus. This was a fairly straight forward game (allegedly it was space superiority) with both myself and Da Boss essentially going for it, although his obsession with my Omega proved to be his undoing s the Liati closed scored some light damage and was then pounded by every ship in the fleet until death (2rnd kill I think) after that it was a case of cleaning up a heavily damaged Demos (gotta love multi arcs and fighters). The last ship to die was his Maximus weathering 2 rounds of fire before finally succumbing.

My last game was against Paul (I think, apologies if I have that wrong too much Lucozade) :lol: and his evil evil Vorlons, this was a straight annihilation and thats waht happened his 6 transports & 1 destroyed succeeded in baltting my EA sideways and it may have been a mistake for me to have concentrated on blatting his transports and leave the Destroer as a target of opportunity as when it came to the end 3 Artemii were just not enough to handle that bad boy :lol:

Altogether a most fun event again and once I figure out how to put pics in you'll all get to see the faces of the 2 motley crews :lol:

Anyhoo we had:

1 x Minbari Fleet
2 x Early EA Fleets
1 x 3rd Age Fleet
1 x Centauri fleet
1 x Dilgar Fleet
1 x Vorlon Fleet
1 x Combined League fleet
 
I use Photobucket - its easy enough even for me :)

re tournament - as ever great fun:

First round Pauls Vorlons was really worried as recently he has been slaughtering me with them - but the Centauri did what the Shadows had failed and took out most of the fleet - game ended with me undamaged Liati, a battered Maximus and 1 Demos about to finish his remaining battered 2 transports. Nice as I finished with a parting 14 dice beam hit from the Liati..........

Then I came up against Tanks EA - always a great opponent and was kind enough to expalin where I went wrong after he had smashed my fleet :)

This cam in very useful as I then went on to fight Gregs EA where the advice worked very nicely and cruised in to victory with some lucky crits and lack of same from Greg.

thanks to all :)

OH and obviously Ken was Robbed !

I'll upload a few more pics laters on, unfortunately I only have a few pics of my games.
 
Sorry I couldn't make it this time, sounds like it was a blast. I'll really try to be there for the next event, the Wargames Workshop tourneys are always a load of fun!
 
It was great fun as normal :D I enjoyed every game I played and the sportsmanship was excellent.

Though there was not a lot of Vorlon Beamie goodness on my end :( . I think Greg and Charles have cursed my dice.

I agree with Charles, Ken was robbed! :D (We have to find a T shirt for Ken with "I WAS ROBBED!" on it.)
 
Well it certainly looked like fun - well done to the Sentient Rabbits crew! 1st, 2nd, 3rd and even the coveted "last" place was ours! Woo hoo!
