Just a heads up - There will be a Steamroller event at the Plainville store probably sometimes in the front half of November (unless you guys think Sunday is a viable option).
I'm sorry for having to delay it so much, but with a Magic pre-release, Grand Opening, and a few other events there just aren't enough Saturdays in October.
Let me know what you think.
-
Hell. Yes.
-
i heard matt and ian talking about this a lot, but what is a "steamroller" event? is it just a 50 point tournament? or is there more special rules or stipulations about it.
question spam aside, id be in for a saturday event with the protectorate.
-
Sounds good to me.
-
The date for this event is November 13th and will be a WARMACHINE / Hordes 35 point Steamroller.
(If the point value should be 50 points instead of 35 points please contact me or post here with your opinion.)
-
most players like 35 point games and there are a lot of new people just starting. also 50 points can take a very long time. however, steamroller is supposed to be 50; im sure you can do 35 though. i personally would prefer 35, since its faster and most people have a real solid list they like, where most people at 50 would just add whatever models they have available to them to make the extra 15 points.
i vote 35, but do not mind at all 50. thats my one cent (my opinion is not valuable) :)
-
Dave doesn't know what he's talking about. 35 points is perfect.
-
I'm quite tempted but may sit this one out. It's not from lack of interest but lack of experience. I'll keep playing and when I can play a 35 point game in a reasonable amount of time, I'll sign up for them.

shh... they know that already. i posted this seeing the opinion part not the top half. i only posted cuz i thought steamroller meant 50. of course id rather play 35 where i have a solid list ::)

dont worry about expirience rich, im going and i suck. theres tons of new players. plus youre pretty good at wargaming anyways :)

I play a real slow game. Like super slow. Like I am again now going to apologize to Ian, Matt and Rick for being like Molasses on a cold New England day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Molasses_Disaster). I'm getting the game more and more just need to speed up my decision making.
-
Don't apologize to me. I am typically slower than you are even with experience.
:(
-
Just a heads up Chase. This event is on the same day as thr DaBoyzGT which has a large warmachine event already. Some of the BG crew has expressed interest in it so just giving a heads up.
Sundays are totally doable btw. For me anyway.
And I am in the same boat as Rich.
-
Matt and I were the only ones planning on going that I know of. We'd both much rather support BG and avoid an 8 hour ride for just a Steamroller event.
-
I second Ian's comment. I would rather play at BG and support our own growing community than go to De-crazies tournament. I may go if their was no conflict but I am in no way attached to the idea.
We might loose Rick but I don't think it will destroy the event.
-
Sounds good then was just giving a heads up. Rick is out for sure because he will be playing 40k in the GT anyway, also just a heads up.
-
What do you mean by;
"go to De-crazies tournament"
??
-
Well, I hope to get more games in and get more painted. Maybe the steamroller is motivation for me to paint and get more games in.
I'll probably sit out the daboyz tournament. Maybe next year.

november is still far away i have faith in you. at least can do a fairly good base coat on everything in that time, keep in mind my idea of base coat is bryan magnuson's idea of primed :P

A jibe in good fun as I see tournaments that knock players scores because they took realistic competitive lists as lame. But I know some people want that kind of game so more power to them. I wouldn't play in a candyland tournament miles and miles away for cash but if people want to go nuts, it doesn't hurt me.
Now see how much fun that was?
-
It's not about the prize's its about the challenge to go out side the normal competitive spam lists that pop up everywhere.
Even if I were to win a prize it would not equal the amount of money spend to get that prize. For me it's about playing people in different area's and seeing if I can win with a comp army, I know I could crush the majority of my opponents with my IG but where's the fun in that?
Not to mention some of the top 40k players in the country are going to be there, and they are ignoring the comp system. It's always good to take your army outside of the local pool and swim with the big fish. If I can trash them with my comp tau list thats a win for me.
