I just went to a monthly fantasy tourney at mikhaila's store, Showcase Comics and Games near Philly. I had an awesome time! Mike and the other guys helping run the event were all really friendly, knowledgable of the rules, and helpful. Mike even sat down with me and my opponent and took the time to explain the whole scoring rubric for painting, and why we got the marks that we got
. I got to play against some awesomely painted armies and nice opponents, the last of whom is from down near me in Maryland, so I might link up with him again for a more local game.
I will definitely be attending some of his future events! I just need to check my schedule to make sure I'm free the weekend of The Big Show, but hopefully I'll make it up again for one of the smaller tourneys before then.
Just wanted to post this in case anyone else is in range of his store for the local tourneys, but haven't yet made it out, or if they're thinking of coming in for one of his larger events. Awesome store, awesome guy, and a really nice, laidback, but all-the-bases-covered event. A++
