I'm planning on playing in the 1850 40k tournament so I bought the $20 weekend pass & the $15 40k pass. The $15 pass is called "Saturday... first round." here: http://www.battleroadgames.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=10&zenid=1hqlljbeglt36v6c4t26pc89m7

Do I also need to purchase a Sunday second round ticket?

**Empchild**

Your good for sunday, that was just an odd typo when we entered it into the webstore.

**The Everliving**

I shall be there. Looking forward to catching up with everyone.

**Empchild**

Excellnt, the prizes are starting too arrive, and I am working to announce the missions soon.

**Mannahnin**

Missions coming out later this week, if the editor has his act together, yes?

**Empchild**

Scenerios posted

**Mannahnin**

Yay, missions!

Sign up, folks! Need moar players in my backyard this year.

**lord_caldera**

Is the painting competition still set up the same, fantasy and scifi?

**Empchild**

The painting is actually going to an open format.. we were going to announce that next week.

For those who don't know what an open format is, you bring several models and put them into the comp as a grouping. From here we determine which is gold silver or bronze. There could literally be Zero golds and 7 bronzes, or no tropheys at all (never heard of that happening but you get the point). This way you are not limited to GW or anything. It could be any of the models from your collection that you bring, but we will pick one or two of them to judge from.

Emp,

If you need terrain, I can bring these:

Plus I can make more foam stuff if you need it. Let me know.

**Alpharius**

That terrain is awesome - you should absolutley bring it!

**Mannahnin**

I cannot imagine a circumstance under which bringing that would NOT be a good idea. Nice stuff!

**Empchild**

I agree with mannhiem, definately bring it.

**Mannahnin**

Having too much terrain is like having too much sex: I guess it's THEORETICALLY possible, but it sure hasn't happened to me yet.

**Empchild**

Greetings All, this is just a friendly reminder that we will be closing registration in 5 days at 11:59PM on June 25th. Also we will have some product availble for sale there at the brawl and will be taking credit only, but the Bar and snacks is Cash only so please remember if you want drinks to bring cash with you. For those at the Brawl we will be doing an ADDITIONAL 15% off to our items purchased, or ordered while you are at the brawl. If we don't have it on hand then you still just pay and we will order it for you and ship it to whatever location you would like. This is 15% off our already 10% off MSRP so take advantage of it, but remember this is for those going to the Boston Brawl and is a special offer for them alone.
-Alex

**Spacecurves**

I'm looking forward to this event, not long now! How many people are signed up for the 40k tourny at this point?

**Empchild**

Tomorrow is the last day for sign ups people so hop to it. We are looking at an event with close to $6000 in prizes so this will be a big one!!! All of that just for 40k too blows my mind personally.

**Mannahnin**

I was re-reading the packet for a practice game yesterday and was reminded that players are supposed to bring three objective markers on 40mm bases. So don't forget 'em, folks!

(in a pinch, a poker chip is about the same size; though modeled ones are cooler)

Oh, also, I didn't see anything about how many copies of your army list to bring. Empchild, should folks plan to bring at least six (one for the judges, one for each opponent) and leave one copy by our army between rounds so judges can identify it when they're scoring our painting?

**Mannahnin**

Schedule update:

I talked to Empchild, and he is still planning to be on-site around 7am if anyone is getting in early, but he has pushed back the start time to accomodate folks traveling, and because the event is no longer squeezing multiple game systems in on Saturday. Saturday's schedule now goes, roughly:

~7am: Doors open
8:00: General tournament announcements and any rules/terrain questions
8:30am: Pairings and table assignments go up
9:00am: Round 1 begins.
11:00am: The bar opens
11:30am: Round 1 ends, lunch begins
12:15pm: Round 2 pairings go up.
12:30pm: Round 2 begins
3:00pm: Round 2 ends
3:15-3:20ish: Round 3 pairings go up.
3:30pm: Round 3 begins
6:00pm: Round 3 ends.

Hey Guys, Ben Mohlie aka Spacecurves here. The event was a success and I had five great games against awesome opponents. Thank you to Alex and the others who worked hard to organize the tournament!

**Mannahnin**

Thanks for the photos! That DW army is Alex's third place one.

Empchild, thanks for running! Despite the light terrain, this was a really great time. The prize support was awesome, and the tournament structure definitely good. I had five fun opponents, and if I had played or rolled a bit better against Ben, I might have made up that 1pt, so it was really in my own hands.

Inquisitor Mack and whoever else, thanks very much for bringing more terrain. It really helped.

Thanks also to my five opponents, Ben, Rob, Bill, Sam, and Ryan. Five excellent games, most of which were (IMO) closer than the final scores (3/17, 18/2, 20/0, 20/0, 20/0) indicated.

21 players and $5,000 in prizes?

Are those 40k or Fantasy tables in the pictures? I see some of those Fantasy hills, but not a lot of BLOS or substantive terrain.

**Empchild**

Almost 10 people who paid and signed up didn't show, then we had a few others pull out before the final round of the tourney so as such I removed them from the roster completely. Some of the tables were a little light saddly as the people who promised us the terrain didn't realize how much of theres they really had, but it worked out in the end. I have somone starting in 1 month on the terrain for next year so we don't have that problem again, but ya the prizes were big and it will just continue to get bigger

Sam took a whole photobucket of tickets:
