All the AARs are late. No time. We were running and gunning all day and night.
After Warmaster cigars and scotch have my head hanging this morning. Dew is going down like acid. The carrying in of gear and setting up of table brings back Worlds. Just not half as bad as the 1st morning in Scotland.
Epic tourney in open gaming again. 12 players with 4 waiting hoping for extra tables or a no show.
I got Andy and the Tau round one. I played well, average dice. A gap opened and termies teleported in turn 2 for his BTS, crisis suits. I roll poorly and kill 4 out of 6 and fail to save. 3 of mine are dead. Then snake eyes. Had the termies not been wiped out. The game would have ended my way. Andy won 2 - 1, DTF & BTS to BTS.
Andy believed he need a 2 point lead to win. The tournament rules state you must have two points to win.

Round 2 I drew Ben with Ork stompy things. He was a new player. More of a teaching the game than playing. Sallies 3 - 1, T&H, TSNP, & Blitz to BTS.
Round 3 I got the guy that came over from England. He won the Warmaster tournament. He had some version of steel legion. 2 hydra detachments, centaurs, Tbolts, manticores, armored fist, and 4 leman Russ detachments.
Turn one both termies teleport, kill one thing each and bounce straight back to the foam. After a moment of panic, and more broken units a design not of my planning saves me. The gods spoon feed me a Scipo strategy. Those broken units reformed behind the last line. Which he pushed into and stalled. Sallies win Blitz, TSNP, T&H and DTF to BTS.
Now I lost my BTS in every game. It was one of the two drops. It was the hammer also. This was a point given away in design. I need to be smarter!
Kal's pictures. I failed to take any.
We had a small problem. Super new players playing players with some experience. This created butt hurt and ruined games. The TO and me were not watching them close enough. The players with some experience failed to call the TO or me over when things were confusing or smelled like bullshit.
*Only Devastator marines FF 3+
*When forced out of a transport and the infantry do not have a save. They get a 6+ co er save.
*Road March. The dude made 4 total moves and then shot. 1 there is no shooting on a March action. 2 Declaring a “Road March” only grants an automatic Action test pass. 3 all units have to be one the road and remain on the road.
*Every player did not know units in cover get a cover save. But not the to hit modifier.
*”Cross Fire” cannot be used in assault
The Road March occurrence was as FUBAR as it gets. 40K game play cheat level bullshit. The dude was brand new playing someone who has limited stick time. Stick time knew it was funky but waited a turn to say something. After which neither could agree to a gentlemanly fix. So hate
In the future.
When welcoming players we need to ensure the TO is known. The rules lawyer is known. Whenever something smell funny they must call one of the two over. The TO must patrol the tables all tourney with special attention new players.
