I do not understand GW at times.

If they don't want to run a tournament, why do they give such a half-way done effort on 'Ardboyz?

Frustrating to try to prepare and have to travel 8 hours, and seems like its an after thought to GW...

Have you not played 'AB before? The Finals scenarios have always been secret.

Originally ALL the missions for 'AB were secret, but logistically they had to share them with the stores running it, and they realized that a few of the stores were sharing the missions with their locals ahead of time and giving those locals an unfair advantage. That's why a couple of years ago they changed to releasing them a week or so beforehand. But because that's not really an issue at the Finals, Finals missions have stayed secret.

The Warhammer Hardboyz Final missions were listed on the GW Website.

Why not the 40K ones?

Read.

Again.

What.

You.

Quoted.



Edit: Or, as I learned during my military time, the answers for "why" are always the same.
Because that's the way the world is.
Due to the milk.
Since Tuesdays we get Broccoli.
So you can ask why.

etc.

Huh. I did not know that.

I plan on calling GW and emailing the appropriate trade sales people (or whoever else is in charge of 'Ard boyz) to find out if they plan on releasing the scenarios... It is very frustrating to have to travel so far and then get a bunch of poorly thought out missions =(. Well, I guess people had to deal with that the prelims and semis but at least they saw the junk coming!
