Another great fun tourney at Firestorm Games. Cheers all :D

Special mention to Cornish for an exciting game with rats that died. A lot. Still only drew that one too! Only 4 injuries in 4 games with Underworld :D They didnt learn, can kept trying to take down Captain Ian :P

Hopefully this becomes a regular in the calendar.

I’ll get you next time, Sann!

What a nail biter!

Thanks to all my opponents, a genuinely brilliant day with four awesome games.

Cheers to Nonumber for running, a good amount of downtime but we still seemed to finish early, so winner.

Hey, thanks again for a great tourney. To fit 4 games into one day and have it all done and dusted by 7pm without feeling rushed is no mean feat.

My only suggestions would be not to have chaos dwarves in tier 2, which although made me feel dirty I confess I did enjoy! Other suggestion is to have strength of schedule feature somewhere as a tie breaker; it does seem a little odd that I snuck 3rd place from Hobnail on a coin toss, even though he had a better opponent's score than I but an otherwise identical record.

Will certainly be back for the next one if this becomes a regulate thing! :)

Ah, interesting point - should have been head to head, did you play? Didn't double check the standings below 1... ;)

Chorfs failed to win the tourney despite being in T2. Necro won despite being in T1. Permanent tier swap imo ;)

Nope, Hobnail and I didn't have a head to head, so the result was in line with the scoring, butt I had to double check because it does feel odd to place above someone with the same score and better SOS...

Sure. Will leave that to nonumber, there wasn't a third tiebreaker :)

Great time!!!
Was a great way to finish my 2018 Welsh adventure.
I want to thank FrogBoy from getting this ball rolling and to NoNumber for picking up the ball and running with it.
I want to thank my opponents (Svine, Hobnail, Kismet, and AngryHobbit) for all be great guys to have a match with.

If any of you will be packing up for Austria next year, I will see you there. This morning I have already made an official proclamation to both my boss at work and my boss at home that I am going to Dornbirn.

oh..and due to weather, it took me TWENTY-SIX HOURS to get home. Left for the airport at 5am your time and walked in my front door at 1am my time. After a quick shower and five hours of sleep, I was revitalized and showing up for work on time. :-)
