This last weekend me and some buddies went up to Antioch, CA for the Bay Area Open. I ended up in 8th place after losing on the top table in the finals. Wah wah....
I did a quick write up of my matches and the overall feel of the tourney here http://www.3forint.com/2011/08/drunken-master-bay-area-open-and-me.html

Take a look if you are interested and let me know how you did if you were there!

Yeah when I saw what was at the top table I knew it was going to be an uphill battle. It was nice to see 2 completely different grey knights builds at the top 2 tables.

Nice write up.

Congrats for placing in the top 10. Annihilation is tough on most armies.

Hey Dok!

I was your round 4 opponent, and that was quite a game! Hope I get a rematch some day!

It's good to know that the list I've had such a hard time with, was a top ten finisher at a GT. #8 no less.

Heh. Yeah, it's nice when the guy that beats you ends up on table 1.

What about when the guy you beat ends up on table #1.

I'm honestly not sure how I'd feel about that!

I should have my batrep of our game up on my blog on Friday. I will post a link here.

@Blackmoor: Well, you still placed above me so kudos on that! I'm sure your opponent wasn't thrilled to sit across the table from a 5kp army on the last game.
@Monster rain: I'm down for a rematch whenever man! Let's do this!
@Brothererekrose: Thanks man. It was a tough couple days but a lot of fun.

@Alan
You should have gotten more bracket points! Haha!

Great reports though, and I am glad you guys had fun. We're already making plans for next year and hope you guys can join us again.

@Dok
I thought you had a good shot at taking James down due to the huge KP discrepancy between your lists. When you told me you had NEVER played against IG I couldn't believe what I was hearing! Haha, you made it to table 1 at a big GT with some top level players and you had NEVER played IG. That is crazy!

I am glad you had fun though, and like the post on your blog said, take I5, 101 is a nightmare. It's only 5 hours on 5.
