You got it buddy. I'd say let's get a game in at Adepticon but that is one busy damn weekend so I'll settle for a game if I make it down this year

We used to not post missions but with a different system and some of the changeswe figured it would be best to be transparent.

But then I was like

Thank you both for your responses.

Yeah, well depending on what happens on Sunday I might have time. I signed up for the team and championship. If they don't change BT by then hoping to get in the final rounds with BT and make something happen. That and I am doing a couple of dinners with the Geek Nation tours to help out and meet new people.

If I suck it up on Friday though I should have some time on Sunday.

Agreed, If we both suck it up on Friday we'll get a game in on Sunday before I head out

Hell Hulk if you make it down we should all play. But if you are coming to town just email us and we can make sure you get grabbed from the Airport.

This year should be a lot of fun. The new Venue is nicer, there are better food places around us and within walking distance plus you get to yell at the Bols guys. What more could you want right?

Hopefully the shirt I designed gets posted soon introducing Commissar Wolf. I just wish I could be playing it heh.

Well Mr. Goatperson, it is high time we played at Wargames Con!

Let's sweeten the pot a little bit too, so how about a wager? The loser draws on the winners bags!

I think it will just be me drawing on the bags! Hahahaha. That is usually better hehe.

Sounds awesome. It really is first on my list after NOVA for my fly too event this year. I'll hit ya up once I know for sure what's going on

Well this year is looking better for me tournament wise - so will see where I go. I want to go to all of them and draw on every bag, but the wife will only let me play so many nerd events hehehe.

Also, Brad, both Nick and Thomas are in the NOVA Invitational in 2012, if they brass up and attend

All you have to do is, you know, qualify.

It is my plan this year - . My anniversary is before and I will most likely be doing something that weekend before this event so I should be able to make it this year. That is my plan so far.

@MVB

Well since the Bugeater mysteriously isn't on your list of qualifier events I'll just have to take Adepticon, The Indy Open, or WargamesCon (assuming I make it). That doesn't sound to hard so maybe I'll just win all three

AH! Bugeater should be on there

I'm a forgetful freddy.

Well if I can't win one of 4 of those events I shouldn't be playing in it this year anyway

Hey, as long as ya'll and others are GOING to all these events, I'm a happy camper. All tournaments doing better makes the tournament scene as a whole better.

The less GT personnel compete with each other, the less divisive our hobby becomes.

Well Hulk there is a lot of good compentation coming down for Wargames con so might be tough. You have Ben Mohile, Wyatt Traina, Marc Parker, Paul Murphy, Greg Sparks, Da boyz crew, some from Blade and bolter, a very strong group from Germany and of course Shaun Lowery who won last year.

You will need to bring out the big guns none the less.

Nick, definitely looking forward to the event. I know that Shaun, Jay, and Eric of DaBoyz will be in attendance as well as Marc Parker. Should be an awesome time especially with the new venue. It’s been a while since I’ve played in a seven game tournament, all the better!

@Goatboy – we’re running out of room on my bag, we’ll have to squeeze in a new one or two somehow.

The atmosphere of this event is amazing. The seven round format is the best anywhere in the country. It takes a tiny bit of pressure off of every single game and gives you a 'smooth' feeling the whole weekend.

This event is truly worth the expense and time. You get 7 to 10 games of 40k against the best in the country and even if you have a rough game in the mix you are not out of the running for best over all.

It is awesome to see how the field shakes out on day two with at least 40% of the filed still in the hunt for one of the top spots.

DaBoyz will be attending. This will be my first time in Texas I hope the locals are nice to us Northerners.

Oh I have no doubt of the competition level there. I was 100% kidding. One of the main reasons WargamesCon is on my list this year is the quality of the field that generally shows up to attend. Much like Adepticon and the Nova it's top notch competition which is what's truly fun.

Honestly I'll be lucky to pull a win at any of them but for me it's the chance to get out and play a bunch of games generally against awesome and fun people. Normally with a list I designed and painted within the last month or two

@Jay

It's the rudest state in the US!!!!!!!! I'm kidding. We lost my little brother to Texas....He's never gonna move away! Damn you Austin!!!

Hey Guys, Ben Mohlie here. I'm definitely planning to go to Wargamescon again this year, it is honestly my favorite 40k event. The hotel is awesome, comfortable, with great general spaces to hang out and tell war stories after a hard day of wargaming. The competition is of the highest possible quality, with most of the major names in US 40k in attendance. I love the seven game format too, since it allows for their battle point system to pick a clear winner and yet still enables someone to lose a game and still be in contention. Last year the mirror match tournament was a lot of fun, so check that out too. Or if tournaments aren't your style, the narrative events looked like a blast. I could hear the cheering from across the hall last year. So whatever your style is I'm sure you'd have a good time at this event. And if all else fails you can come down to heckle Goatboy and Darkwynn!!

It is shaping up to be a good event.

Last year I did not do well on the first day and had to crush 3 guys in the lower bracket on day 2.

I hope you are going to play in the Mirror Match tournament again Ben. You beat me last year playing your Space Marines, now with the switch to chaos it is an army that I have played before!

Yea I am really looking forward to this. How hot is going to be in Texas that time of year. Do I need to bring my speedo? I hear the hotel has a pool.

@ blackMoor I would love get a rematch. it been along time since we played. I remember it was a GW GT.

Jay, you definitely do not need a speedo. In fact, you should never discuss you and speedos again. The pool is awesome though, and a wonderful place to relax and swap war stories.

Allen, I forgot they were doing Chaos Marines this year for the mirror, now we'll be in your territory instead of my own, uh oh!

The longer time limit this year will help a lot too. I don't think I ever ran out of time last year myself, but being able to have a little more cushion is sure to improve everyone's experience.

If all works out, Team Zero Comp will be coming in force this year.

We look forward to coming home with all the awards, muahahaha!!

You'll have to get past Mephiston...

At this point I have no idea what I'm bringing though.

blood angel wrote:You'll have to get past Mephiston...

Haha, well then, I'm screwed!

It's up to the rest of the team, now!

Ok, so speedos are in this year? Good, cause I don't want to be the only guy sporting one again.

Seriously though we're coming down in full force, circuit training and cross training has just begun and were taking lots of liquid vitamins (beer) to prepare... Can't wait for another awesome
Weekend!

Chandler

Duke,

I don't know if drinking that Coors banquet beer will work. I mean from Honeybadgers response it is a marginally accepted party beer!


That won't fly in Texas

@Jay

I have pictures of Rodney Dangerfield coming back in that speedo swimmer movie. I don't think I will be able to get rid of it ever now.

Well, part of the issue is that he simply just doesn't give a **** (Cause he is honey-badger). I have warned him about the dangers of peddling more of that "beer." All I can say is that spiced crap is all yours bud!

Duke
