Title: Who won??
Post by: KingElthur on March 21, 2010, 12:45:26 AM: I had to leave because I needed sleep before work, so I wasn't able to stay for the end of the MegaBattle. Can anyone tell me who won? Overall and per table if possible. Also, who won awards and/or prizes?

Post by: Jonathan on March 21, 2010, 02:30:33 AM: I have shared pictures of the event on my blog. I need to preface the link by saying I used a different camera than usual and ended up with a lot of crappy pictures. I got rid of a bunch and have 180+ left. A chunk of them are blurry or poorly exposed. I'm really sorry about that and hope Photoshop will help.

Needless to say I won't be using that camera again. Shiny new thing fools me again. :(

If anyone has any pictures of the event they are most likely better than what I have. Would those with these pictures be willing to send them to me so I can share them on my blog with all the other content?

For those with Facebook you can find an album on my profile page with the pictures and people in them tagged. Please tag yourself and those you know.

I also live-blogged the event at 3rd Annual BG 40k Megabattle (http://wargamingforums.com/2010/03/20/3rd-annual-bg-40k-megabattle/).

Pirate Titan for the win!

Post by: Jonathan on March 21, 2010, 02:47:58 AM: I'm looking into some things in PSD to hopefully fix that...or at least make it not as bad. /sigh

Post by: Chase on March 21, 2010, 01:34:32 PM: Here's the breakdown:

   Table
   Moon Planet Surface Sewer
   Order Disorder Order Disroder Order Disorder
Round 1 - - - - - -
Round 2 10 20 30 10 7.5 0
Round 3 10 30 30 10 17.5 0
Round 4 0 35 38 20 17.5 10
Round 5 0 35
Round 6 0 53
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Totals: 4.0 34.6 32.7 13.3 14.2 3.3

Final Scores:

Order: 50.9
Disorder: 51.2

As you can see, it was incredibly close. Every single claimed and contested objective mattered. Failing to claim or contest any one of them, on any table, even on just one round, would have been the difference between winning and losing. Literally everything that had to do with the scoring or contesting of every objective every round was critical.
