All the AARs are late. No time. We were running and gunning all day and night.
AdeptiCon is so large it needs 2 convention centers. 8000 punters at 60ish a pop is dam near 500,000 USD in just ticket sales!!! The second hotel, where historics. This hotel has a city brew attached! A Perry’s is next door. WTF??? Why are we not there? I am eating at Perry’s!
Kal was in the Medieval Saga tourney there.
The Schaumburg convention center is a mad house of fatties and the unwashed. It’s 10am and dudes smell like they live in my hiking boots. The food options blow. They staff never set up the water stations.
Painting like pro is the new thing. Dudes just there to hang out in a room all day and paint next to some Golden Deamon winner. They paint all day, nothing else. The vendor hall is 40% paint sellers.

I score 16 terrainscape tiles, 4 river, 12 flat from some hold out company liquidating stock in the hall way.
Traitor guard Vs BAs. Chicago Matt score a massive, dope as hell, BA army completely painted from some dude in London? I need to test the Traitor Guard with Manticore support option. All this occurred as Matt was running Steel Rift tourney.
The BAs teleported in, ate manticores. Retained with a Thawk and death company. It took 9 flak shots, 6 hits on the way in. Nothing. Death company ate the other manticore. I picked up all the blue dice and everyone of those suckers went in the trash. Back to the original GW white little dice.
BAs 4-1. I got BTS. BAs missed out on Blitz.
The Malcadors were game dominating. The manticores never got a chance. Teleports and air assaults are a game breaker for TG. They lack the ability to reposition.
As long as the army remains slow and unable to change the game via movement, Malcadors on garrison are a non issue. You place them on over watch to lose the ability to protect your 3 unit detachments.
Afternoon I played “Get to the Extraction.” It is a first person shooter game combined with D&D type stuff and a Video game. Kind of like an old video game half way translated to a miniature game. I hate video games. D&D ain’t me. But this game was cool. You can pound beers and be baby sat by the app.
You control an operator, tier 3 or 2. There are tier 4 to 2 operators that run around against bases on the environment around the mini. You escape, rescue, take out, get Intel or loot, and QRF type missions. You choose what your mini does then all charts or calculations are auto generated via an app. The app keep stats, health, ammo, experience, kills under your log in.
Cool Tables
I spoke with this dude. I think there is something wrong in his application. He said throughout the day he continued to increase the size of the seal team boarding. 5 boats are assaulting. It is normally one boat and less than half a team.
Dinner at Perry’s. They are a big money steak house like Ruth, State Street, Fleming’s, or Branded. Perry’s steaks are ok. The pork chop is what makes Perry’s a chub factor. I first sat at a Perry’s in Houston. Everyone said you want the chop. I am a steak dude. I gave in got the chip. Now it’s a full on throbbing chub for Perry’s chops.
Pat, Chicago Matt and I had Perry’s. Pat got a salad. Matt a steak. Can you guess? Yep chop!
