Hah same here culsander. No worries though, I can deal with it

.
As per the outflanking/scouting, I will just wait to see what my stores says. Because regardless of my opinion, the TO will choose.

Thankfully I know the TO that's running ours so I know how he is ruling it.

The missions are not perfect but are now much better after the update, I share some players pain on mission 2 because it favors numbers but it's no worse then round one mission one... I played a list that had 9 Kill Points! Guard gives up 12 in troops usually minimum... So now I guess I have to struggle, Karma I suppose....

**Cottonjaw**

Edit: nevermind.

**Julnlecs**

does anyone know how to find out if ur name will be on the list? my names not on the list. it seems our gw rep messed up the names.

**Shadowseer_Kim**

I am thinking that is last years list as a place holder, while they update it to current.

The names listed for my store, are people who did not even play this year.

**ToI**

The list is just awful to begin with. Some stores are correct while others are wrong/missing...i don't put much stock in it...

**Kirasu**

Yeah I dont understand why even bother with a list if you arent going to make it semi-accurate

**Sarigar**

I advised my FLGS that I wouldn't be attending the semi finals and the 4th place finisher could have my spot. How is this being handled? My name showed up on the GW list, but I'm not attending; how does one who would go in my place even attend?

**Kirasu**

There is no real procedure anymore.. GW used to have a way but they stopped bothering

Basically how I do it is I ask for the qualifying store and their # so i can verify.. Make sure the retail person who handles the phones knows whats going on is all I can say

**Akroma06**

Wow my name isn't there...my LGS isn't even there. Seriously? Can we not get this list halfway accurate? I don't think that it is last years list as I remember advancing last year too.

Unlikely, I didn't place last year and my name is on the list.

I called my semi's location they said its fine. If they are not sure if your suppose to play or not aka not on the list then they let you play and then find out through gw if you were suppose to or not via your previous store placement.

Ok cool. I just don't want to drive 6 hours only to find out that the guy here messed up and then have to turn around and drive 6 more hours back. I think I will do that thanks!

I got second in my event, told my TO that I wouldn't make round 2 and they didn't put me on the list. I'd check your TO for the next round to make sure everything will be good. Odds are your TO from round 1 wasn't clear/trade rep screwed up.

Yeah we have a local forum for games and such so I just posted that concern over there. I do remember him wanting to get everything all together after thosed that placed were announced, so I know he was thinking about it.

I kind of think the second mission ought to have its deployment rules switched from Pitched Battle to DOW. This is just to make people actually have to move. Otherwise, you could end up with some battles looking like a series of 17th century musket volleys (with everytone deploying on the 12" line), with turn 4/5 charges to the center.

**gardeth**

Lol my prelims location isn't listed on the winners page and they're hosting the TN semis!

Don't think any of the TN stores are listed.

They'd have to change the bonus point for none of your units in your deployment zone then.

One objective missions always end up with a scrum in the center unless one side gets tabled. I tested this out against my buddy's Chaos list and I ended up with 40 something marines crowded around the center objective at the end.

Yay I can play TAU

Not to be too supportive of GW here, but...

I imagine the stores in question just e-mailed a list of their winners, so it is more likely that the Prelim location got names wrong than transcription error.

Amazingly, both of my names were spelled correctly.

**Julnlecs**

They used to give a certificate with you name on it that said you were a qualifier to round 2 semis. And then you would present that to the to in the semi round. I asked for it this year and they said gw isnt doing that anymore and that they are only writing down the names of the winners and passing them along. Well they messed up big time this year.

Little early to determine that, isn't it?

Yes but it's not too early to start complaining about it!

**Kirasu**

If you're playing at Pittsburgh see my tournament thread, for erratas/changes. Those are the final rules barring any typos

Please no "What if I bring an all Mekboy/Dreadnought ork army" questions...

**sharkticon**

wow, no dawn of war and only a one third chance of kill points, as a Guard player, I <3 Round 2!

**Kirasu**

Yeah was sorta surprised they added 2 pitched battles

**pretre**

Kirasu wrote:Yeah was sorta surprised they added 2 pitched battles

They should really switch Scenario 2 to DoW since they made the change to Scenario 1.

We'll see...

**Tomb King**

i disagree. I hate dawn of war deployment. whether I am playing an assault army or not. If I am playing my assault army it is too easy to get to my opponent and they dont stand a chance unless I roll bad. If I am playing my shooting builds then again it just gives a considerable advantage to assault based armies.
