I've always liked the format of your reports. Highly professional and very clear- the statistics are also a plus.

Thanks for sharing, and congrats on the Tau sweep.

I second BlaxicanX' comment. The format of your reports are very clean and there are enough pictures to make following the battles easy.

I love seeing the statistics at the end laid out in such a reader-friendly way. Makes it obvious.

Well done! I didn't feel like you were challenged much, but it seemed enjoyable.

I enjoy the statistics as well. It quantifies what you see played and adds an extra factor to the outcome helping show how close/how one-sided a game really was or how effective/ineffective a player handed the opponent.

Regarding the challenge, I have been playing for a while and hosted the event. I would say all of the players have at most 20 games under their belts and some were a month into the hobby. Everyone had fun regardless, especially with the Swiss pairing.

Great battle reports, I really like the format.

It was a hair-raising first game, but then the rest of them were a total cakewalk. The amount of firepower and durability you can pack into 750 points with Tau is pretty scary!

Thanks! I actually expected the CSM player to do better since he, my brother, has played me the most. Unfortunately, the game type, dice, and distance were not in his favor. Also, as the tournament went along, my third round ended up being someone that was 1-1-1 due to him giving up the fewest battle points at that time and being in the winners bracket. Things may have been different had I faced the Necrons player earlier.

Would echo the other comments, great reports and nice photos too - good to see some mild stats in the mix too for the stato's amongst us

Thanks! Glad you liked it. It was a fun tournament. And yes, the stats tie it all together! Numbers don't lie!
