Quick question:

For scenario 2, when does the objective scatter roll occur (before or after deployment)?

Objective scatter comes before deployment.

In addition to Best General, Best Sportsman, Best Painted, the Snake Eyes Award, and the various Army Domination Awards there was a raffle that included many nice items (Dark Eldar Battleforce, Games Day Miniature, Storm Raven with ??TRU scale Conversion kit, and a Necron bundle to name just a few).

I would just like to say that this was a really well done tournament.

Games started on time and held to the time committments.

Good prize support as well as extra raffle prizes.

Plenty of judges available to make calls.

From my perspective, all the players were friendly and cordial.

Well done.

Thanks for the positive feedback on the event!
