i disagree Danny, it depends on the scenario and the 2 forces much more now.

to an extent he's right. But when facing a guard army with 9 leman russ tanks I'll think I'd take the first turn given the choice.

Especially if it's the "joining this battle in progress" or the "wacky" scenario. This was the one where you alternated deploying squads one by one, anywhere on the board. First turn charges by nids into your entire army sort of decided the game.

They give you the possibility of detecting deep striking units as they land and shooting at them immediately.

Nope, he meant three Demolisher Cannon shots plus all other weapons that can bear. Actually rather easy to do. Field a squadron of three Demolisher. Inq and two or three Mystics park themselves within 12" of any vehicle in the squadron. Deepstriking/summoned shows up. If the Mystics detect the unit as it arrives, then any UNIT (such as a squadron of tanks) may be nominated to fire at the arriving unit. And what's more, that squadron of tanks can fire at each and every detected unit in any given turn.....................

And just for Gwar, Timmah and others of like mind, yes, the GW FAQs are not "official". However, most gaming communities and organized events will use them to answer any questions that they address and so I will keep using them to answer rules questions. Deal with it.

Looks like some nitwit (namely me) hadn't fully considered the effects of the new squadrons.

Would Demolishers really be the way to go anymore, or maybe a squadron of Plasma Death Tanks instead?

the date for the semis kinda matters to which army I am taking. I am gone for most of the august on vacation so it is either berzerker horde or something fun.

you don't have to take the same army to both so it doesn't really matter though. It would matter if you had to keep the same one but you could take a totally different army for round 2 so it still shouldn't be a big deal

In all honesty the GW stores tend to have the lowest comp level from the past. If any of the regional stores are doing it then I'd go there if you want the best chance of getting to the 2nd round.

Yeah, they announced this about 2 months or so ago. Should be back next year. GW US and GW Canada merging has caused a lot of chaos and shifting of people. GT's this year were a casulty.

the first round last year had store all over the place. place near seattle would be fantastic games in edmonds. I played there 2 years ago and made it through. there were some really small places out on the peninsula that probaly would be the easy way through. mech eldar versus the horde is a tough match up it really depends on my deepstriking rolls on my oblits and the mission. I will probaly go to the same place as asugrad, ernies games in woodinville.
