Ha! I think my Space Marines are BS6 and have a 2+ re-rollable invulnerable save. Do you agree? You don't?! Better dice it off; 4+ I'm right!

Thanks again to everyone for coming! Stay tuned for the next one in September on the 8th! I spoke with some of the guys after the event about the possibility of upping the points level to 1750 and there was some reticence to increasing the points, with the rationale that we're still ironing out the kinks in 6th and more points could cause games to have a harder time reaching a conclusion. I'm not necessarily convinced that we need to stay at 1500 for another month... I've talked to a few guys who are starting to look ahead to larger games and have implored me to increase the points. What do you all think?

Congrats to all winners.
Thanks for hosting Dis.

Regarding the points, in my opinion, maybe giving it about a couple or months more until all kinks have been straightened would be a good idea before increasing to 1,750. But that's just me. Maybe you can get a survey as to how many people finished the games before turn 5 and base it on that. The more people struggling to finish the game, the less of a priority it is to increase max points. Unless game duration is increased by another 15 mins.

Then again, I'd always wanted to field more stuff. But as of right now, it is what it is... please let us know at least 2 weeks before if you decide to bump it up to 1,750 pts.

Thanks!

More points would definitely increase the possibility for allies. I'm looking at running a BA/DA AngelBros list that kinda needs more points to work effectively. But I won't be at the next one anyway most likely. I'm gonna have a mouth full of blood and a head full of Vicodin.

My position is that it seemed like a number of tables kept finishing late. This is mostly due to all the pre game shenninanigans that 6th requires, but until people become acustomed to it I recommend keeping the game at 1,500.

If you do decide to increase it I echo the previous request to give a few weeks heads up.

I agree with keeping it at 1500 for the moment. My rationale is simple. There were games, including some of the "top table" games that did not reach completion on time. Until that is rectified at 1500, or certain players learn the rules and stop slow playing (you know who you are), then we can't really move on to higher points levels. Had the "slow" players who were "unfamiliar" with the rules not finished so highly in the BP standings I wouldn't care as much. I was firmly in the camp of let's go to 1750 or 1850 but Saturday changed my mind. I think 1 more month at 1500 is necessary. Just my $0.02, if we do go higher then I would also appreciate several weeks heads up to play higher point games in 6th since I haven't played a single game past 1500.

I don't even know what 6th edition is and I finished all my games on time. I was trying to tap my dreadknight for colorless mana!

So that's what you were doing!

I have to cast my sol ring somehow...

I talked a bit about my impressions of the tournament format and how my Grey Knights held up here http://www.3forint.com/2012/08/my-first-6th-edition-tournament.html
As always, it's tough to field grey knights at 1500 points. If the dice go cold, you start losing effectiveness really fast.
