I'm not entirely certain, but from what I've heard it's something like you say "I want this race and I want it to do something like XYZ." but I don't know how much actual say in it you get.

You get no say. They give you whatever they have too much in stock

Last year I got 7 valkyries, 5 leman russes, 3 basilisks, *one* box of cadians, a command HQ and 1 chimera.. Wasnt even a legal army

And you easily traded/sold those 7 valkyries for a real army.

They are pretty generous with the armies and usually folks are able to make a bundle and still walk away with a good army.

TBH you should have called ahead to your store and reserved your spot weeks ago. You don't just show up to one of these things and expect to play. For all you know where you're going is full up on room.

Yeah, especially at a big location where people want to go. Call Showcase now. (Or PM mikhaila) or do both.

Showing up day of is a recipe for heartache. Heck, I called my location and I'm worried they might have not written it down. I might call again, just to double check.

I called as soon as the list for semis came out. I just see it as my luck for something like that to happen

Just PM or call Mikhaila. That'll confirm that you can play.

are they gonna fix the typos on last mission before saturday? lol

Unlikely. It isn't unplayably broken, so they'll probably let it go.

LOL that means you can get a minor and major victory at the same time!!

Major Victory:
Score 3 more kill points than your opponent. Hold 2 more table quarters than your opponent. ***Control 2 or
more terrain features than your opponent***
Minor Victory:
Score 1 more kill point than your opponent. Hold 1 more table quarter than your opponent. ***Control 2 or
more terrain features than your opponent.***

I hope that TO's will realize the mistake here and say that minor victory come from controling one more and major from two.

That was fixed a while back. YOu might want to grab the most recent version.

"Massacre: Score 5 or more kill points than your opponent. Hold 3 or more table quarters
than your opponent. Control 3 or more terrain features than your opponent.
Major Victory: Score 3 more kill points than your opponent. Hold 2 more table quarters
than your opponent. Control 2 or more terrain features than your opponent
Minor Victory: Score 1 more kill point than your opponent. Hold 1 more table quarter
than your opponent. Control 2 or more terrain features than your opponent.
Draw: Score the same number of kill points. Hold the same number of table quarters.
Hold the same number of terrain features."

That means you probably thought mission one was still dawn of war. That would of been a bad day showing up expecting that. It certainly changed my build!

We'll see how contagious that is. At prelims the TO had the older copy of the missions, I ended up giving him the copies I printed.

Pretre I'm not sure you realized this but the current version still has screwed up victory conditions for the terrain features. It's still 2 for minor and 2 for major instead of 1 and 2.

Well, my bad, I was reading quarters instead of terrain features. Apologies.

All good, I just wanted to clear that up so we were all on the same page. I'm guessing most competent TOs will give 1 and 2 for the conditions since otherwise it makes no sense

Idaho has 2 semi-finals so my money is on one or both of those having attendance in the single digits.

Keep in mind that the one in North Idaho covers East WA and OR, Idaho and Montana. The south one covers a similarly crazy sized area.

Yea, that doesnt mean those people are making the drive to that location though. So probably single digits!

With that big of an area there are going to be a larger number of people making that drive. It's kinda unavoidable. I doubt we will see anybody with numbers in the single digits this time around but I may be wrong.

Probably going to see a full venue. People do Carpool. Thats what we are doing just the 3 of us travelling 100 miles.

All good just glad that I wasn't seeing things. lol

Mission three really sucked rolling table quarters. Especially when playing against grey knights!

Hi my name is Tim and I play Deamons! ok I came in 5th first turn I tabled SW logan wing, Second was the killer I played some one from team america playing GK's UGH could not get a worse draw, but I had fun and I did get 2 points and I was not tabled, 3rd person I tabled he was playing dual lash chaos. All in all a great day!
