The Siege is fast approaching yet again. We have shaken things up a bit this. We'll have a 40K tournament, details to follow. A WFB tournament with details to follow. FoW tournament set in mid-war 1750 pts. Hopefully a Warmachine/Hoards tournament, as long as we can get a new Press Ganger for ou area. Plus the a-typical historical games and much, much more. Here's the link to our website, adn we hope to see you there!!

Anybody in the South East plaing on comeing out?

We're going to be there running Brushfire events.

Well, more details on the 40k tournament would be helpful. =D

As of right now the details for the 40K Tournament are pretty slim as we're getting all the information second hand.

From what I know:

It will be an escalation style Tournament in the following format:

First Game: 1250

Second Game: 1500

Third Game: 1850

Missions are to be discussed at a later date.

That's all I have to offer at this time.

we have some that would like to come to the 40k need more informaiton.

HMGS South is Runing both the 40K and WFB Tournament. They told us, the directors, that we should have more information before the Holidays. We've been asking weekly for more INFO so I can cross post it here.

Looking forward to hearing about this, as I might actually be in the area.

Here is everything we have so far.


Warhammer and Warhammer 40K tourney info 2011

20 players per tournament!



FRI- 6pm till 11pm WHFB 2,000pts

Prizes TBA



SAT- 10am till 5pm 40K, 2,000pts.

Prizes TBA



40K 6pm till 11pm 40K doubles TBA

Honestly I ve never seen construction like this for a tournament.

*edited for sounding like a bit of an asshat.

I'm going to try and make it since I missed last year. Great gathering run by a great goup of guys.

This is worth supporting.

It sounds like a blast from reading over the site; the fact that it has been running steady since 92 is a big plus for me as well. I actually might be around for it so I would REALLY like to go.

Just sounds like the events mentioned in nieto666's last post haven't quite been sewn up tight yet. Hope to hear more about them soon.

Im having a meeting tomarrow with the head of the convention because for some reason HMGS South doesnt want to get back with me on the details, perhaps Im too pushy. Anyways it is great times with tons of different mini's games. I was going to play in the FoW Tournament but Im going to run a few events instead. One of which will be The battle of Pelnor Fields using War of The Ring. Too bad we only have one Mumak but maybe in between now and then Ill pick up another.

Sounds like this year will be a real blast. I'm really looking forward to it and am building up kitchen points to spend the whole weekend hanging out and rolling dice.

Hopefully just growing pains in a new relationship?

Normally in our area Im the one who puts on tournaments for 40K and WFB but the last few I did, last year, got a pretty weak showing. Im talking with a friend right now about taking the reins back and have a more tradional tourament style. Ive got some old scenarios we could use and a good bit of other resources so we'll see. Either that or help direct HMGS South in the right direction. I hope you can make it grizgrin. We maybe a small con but we know have to have a good time.

I've taken the reins on the RTT's here is the format, dates and times.

Warhammer 40K RTT
Build 1850 points, must have at least two copies of Army List:
January 22nd 2011, Saturday

Game #2 12:00 P.M-2:00 P.M
Game #3 2:30 P.M. -4:30 P.M

January 23rd 2011, Sunday
Game #2 9:00 A.M-11:00 A.M
Game #3 12:00 P.M-2:00 P.M

Can you give us an update when your site reflects this? Currently says 2000 points still. Also, costs involved? Or did I miss that?

should be about 4 or 5 of us coming from Clemson area

Awsome, the web site should be geting updated tonight. Now it's time to crosspost over at Warseer. Remember to register early as space is limited.

Indeed - cost to enter? Augusta isn't the biggest fifty in the weld, but reasonable to travel to from North Florida and other parts of Georgia as well as South Carolina.

How many people attended the 40k event last year? What was the cost to enter? How was prize support broken out? Hat was scoring based on?

There's a lot of incredibly streamlined GTs and RTTs taking place everywhere - and All the stores I've been to in Georgia seem to have competent TOs and balanced missions - I wonder if there is something to attribute attendance to?

The Missions will be a mix of of some old Ard Boyz scenarios and others. Points will be the standard that RTT's are run with, I dont have the paper work in front of me right now. Prizes will be handed out to the top three and will be in the form of gift cards at one of our local stores. $100 for first, $50 for Second, and $25 for third.

The standard admission to the Siege will get you into the tournament, $20 preregistered. I will have enough space for twenty players in each tournament. If the out come this year is a good one I will increase it for next years.

As for the gift cards Ill be taking names if no one has the time, or doesnt see anything of interest, and you can tell me what you want' We will then have it ordered and shiped to you. The local store that is supporting us will have a vending table there, plus the store is about a ten minute drive away.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
In other words register now before it fills up.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also I might adjust prize support a little, as in taking ten from first and puting it into third. I have another working meeting this Saturday and will be meeting with the man responsable for running Siege tomarrow.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also Ill make sure everything is correct on the website by tomarrow, I have to cordinate with others for updates and what not.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also those of you who are interested, give me your full names through PM and Ill reserve a slot for you until we get your payment, or just specify on the register form.

Some of the Cola crowd should be headed down. Getting the group together is like herding cats, but hopefully we'll get registered.

So far Ive got two locals signed up and piad for the 40K tournament. Ill keep everyone posted on how quickly things fill up.

I really need a actual head count for both tournaments, please PM your name, or names of people comeing with you, so I can get a proper head count. You can pay at the door but if I have your name I can gurantee you a spot. Thanks.

Alright so far I have 8 commits, if some of you are waiting until the day of the tournament just keep in mind it is first come first serve.

PM me your real name so I can jot it done, I have 10 reserved so far, you would make 11. By the way where do you game?

Woah woah woah...you're telling me I have to be at a tournament location before 9:45 am? But I'll lose out on my beauty sleep!

Guess I'll just get a room at the hotel for the hell of it.

I sent you my info, can't wait to see how this insanity plays out.
