There seems to be a bit of a shell game going on with transports and their units. Its hard to determine what's going on but I'm sure someone will review the video and report where everything really was. If you're going to field a vehicle heavy army, you need to mark your transports clearly with what's inside. I put on of the models from the squad on top of the vehicle or directly behind it (whatever is most stable to not have it fall over) so its clear to both my opponent and myself what is where.

Gotta agree here.

In a friendly game or in 99.9% of tournament games I'll be a nice guy and say "Sure bro, go ahead!" in a situation like Mr. OfPepper's.

Playing for 1000 bucks, after I traveled to NOVA? Hell no. You said your turn was over, jack.

And this is why I think having a cash prize for a 40K tournament is a poor idea.

It's why I'd never actually go to an event like this. I'd feel compelled to play that kind of game, and I know that others would be as well. It wouldn't be very much fun.

I agree. Tournaments should be for winning trophies and bragging rights. Maybe something cool like a sword, or limited edition models or forgeworld....

I missed something what is going on the last few rounds? I am confused at the moment.

Damn, Dash and Tony will barely finish turn 5. A leisurely pace.

2k is to many points. They have 10-11 games in less than 2 days. They are tired and the points level is to much to get finished in that time. Well rested players, playing with and against armies they know fully will be fine. Others will not finish.

I just logged back into the feed, can't tell who's winning the Dash / Tony game.

Did Alan (Blackmoor) win his game against Neil, or is it still going on?

Wow. The SW player seems to be losing the plot. Asking the DE player to reroll DT test for a "cocked" dice. It smacks of desperation.

I hear Blackmoor talking in the background of the feed, it sounds like that game is still going on too.

Baron is LD9...doh.

This feed is really unforgiving in terms of showing us people's shenanigans in live fashion.

I really hope Tony wins.

Wow- Dash just removed a beast from his unit, put it in the back to show it was dead... then tried to nudge it back into the back of the unit until Tony pointed it out. Ugh!

Didn't matter anyway as the unit broke and was run down... but sheesh. I know it's hard in the heat of things, but you can never nudge a model in the middle of a combat phase, much less one that you've just taken out as a casualty to put it back in...

I'm only catching the tail end of this one here but I'm looking forward to the final!

Im proud of the SW player for calling dash out on attacks with the beast master and knowing the leadership of the baron. Please win this one tony. Turn 6 might screw him

Well the SW player just shot a stunned razorback. General sloppiness on both sides.

Dash is making an extraordinary amount of flickerfield saves! Almost all his vehicles should probably be dead if not for those flickerfields.

Can you really blame them? It's been 11 games in 3 days so far. Plus the partying/drinking afterwards.

They're both made huge number of saves, but Dash has had bad reserve rolls...

They're called status markers. Use them.

Go go Draigo Blackmoooooor

OTOH, he is using Chain Lightning at the wrong phase...though, it probably doesn't matter.

Anouncers just said that Alan (Blackmoor) won his game. So whoever wins this one will be playing his paladin list in the final.

Ya, they are both messing up now. Trying to rush turn 6 in is hurting them both

Judges should not have allowed a turn 6. Sloppy play.

Tony won on secondary objective (killpoints) tied primary.

So Alan vs. Tony in the final!

Edit: I don't think the final turn made a difference on way or another- looks to be the same as things were in turn 5 as far as I can tell? Just different skimmers contesting objectives (unless Tony hadn't yet reached the one in the top left, but as he asked if Dash even wanted a 6th turn, I believe they were still tied on the objectives).

hahaha "you're not as bad as everyone says you are." Just what I like to hear at the end of a game from my opponent. Too damn funny.

Why exactly? They're running the tournament, both players agreed. What's wrong with it?

lol at dash moving to contest with a ravager that was immobolized. He still lost despite all the mistakes/cheating he pulled. Kharma is a $#%#$!

Both were making mistakes, Tomb King- as olympia says, it looks like markers would be a good idea after so many games in such a short time . It's like a marathon! And this is the home stretch...

I was impressed that Tony seemed to know the stats of a lot of Dash's units- for example the last unit that broke from combat, when if he hadn't known it looked like they'd keep it in. They were really rushed, though.

He immobolized the ravager on turn 5 with that nasty lightning then on turn 6 dash used it to contest an objective 24" away. That is a big mistake when it made the game go to secondary!

It's good to know as much as you can about every army. It cuts down on shenanigans, that's for sure.

Damn I learned quite a lot from watching these two play. As someone who is probably at best an intermediate player, the way they used the cover and supported each insurgent move with another piece was very interesting. Hopefully people will talk about some of the good stuff that came out this game over the inevitable 'storm in a teacup' that is generated every time Dash plays.
