1st round of 40K 'Ard Boys Event May 15 or May 16

So are we organizing an 'Ard Boyz practice to get the feel for some 2.5k comp-less 40k?

Just. Curious.

We can; it's just a matter of organizing a time and day for everyone to get together for a practice.

I've got the tourney pack and scenarios from last year's first round. I think it'll be good to get people used to playing a 2.5k game in 2 1/2 hours since our last 2k tourney had some people going over.

The scenarios were also very multifaceted so it would really help to step up the local tourney scene from the ole standby of 1 C&C, 1 seize ground, and 1 killpoint mission.

If you need help running it/setting up - let me know. I'd be glad to help organize.

Sure, plus I have a store copy of the Battle Missions book that you might want to look at as well.

Come by some time when you can and we can try to knock something together; either your scenario packs or the new book or a combo of both.

That is, if the new BM book has some appropriate missions in it.

I should be by tonight for my weekly WFB game. I can I look over it then.

Sounds good

I looked through the Battle Mission book a bit, and all the missions sound fun. However I'm not sure how a lot of them will function in a tournament setting. There's a few that sounded like they would work without hurting specific armies while helping others, but a lot of them seem to benefit CQC instead of Shooting...

I would agree. For a Ard boyz practice I would stick to old Ard Boyz scenarios.

This is no joke.

In a 2.5 hour game, with 5 turns and 30 minutes of setup, you should be able to complete each of your turns in 12 minutes. I know there's people at TSE/ CHG who do good to get a turn done inside 30 minutes.
