[Abington MA] 2500pt 40k Tournament - Double FoC - Double Fun - 11/16

[Grimwulfe]

Over/under on the Abington regulars?

[Chase]

There's a few.  We've lost ~3 Abington guys over the last two weeks due to some things.

There's very few Plainville people going to this one, which is both good and "bad".  A bunch of new faces are trying it out.  It's not going to be a huge event, but it should be a good time.

[Grimwulfe]

Always good to see new faces more meat for the grinder.

My list is soft and fluffy, not spiked and hard.  I swear.

I only used like....half a FOC.  Not even two!   

[andalucien]

So sad I can't go to this, this type of event is really more my speed these days I think   stupid real life.

Love to hear the results, but I'm hearing feedback from people who really enjoyed the laid back atmosphere and fun matches.

I'd like to thank the Abingtonians for a warm and friendly welcome.
It was a blast.
Thanks to Cody, Jo and Alan for excellent and memorable matches.

I'll track down the results sometime on Monday and post them up.  I think I heard that John won (Tau) and Alan placed 2nd (IG Armored Company).

I'm very interested in people's opinions on the flow of the game, the time limit, and the duration of the event as a whole.  It was NOT a short tournament.

It was NOT a short tournament.

This is not shocking to me.

It was not a short tournament.  This is not a deal breaker, but something to keep in mind when planning multiple long events, or if another GT is around the same time.  Would be nice on my feet and back to have a smaller point tourney following this one for example and keep it mixed up. 

Ran smoothly, games were fun atmosphere was fantastic, though I find this typical with a smaller crowd.  It is a little more intimate and I think this results in more people talking to each other since there is space to mingle and a little more relaxed.

This is Joe -

I had a blast as well. I want another crack at that farsight bomb!! Great games! Great Atmosphere! I'm a little confused on the scoring, but that is my lack of understanding, not a criticism on the event.

This was my first event at the Abington store, and I really enjoyed the experience. I will definitely be back. Maybe next time I can grab some brews with the fellaz afterwards!

My buddy Dan (Tau) won third place, which was great since this was his first event outside of our few stores in the western mass area.

Awesome Sauce!

I don't think that will be possible, I cut Farsight for a Farseer on a Bike, 3 Jetbikes, and a Night Spinner.

You're advice was too good!

But I'd be up for a Tau-Eldar vs Eldar match up.

Glad you had a blast.

[Achillius]

Thanks to Derek and Chad for running a smooth event on the day. But most of all, thanks for everyone who made it down to play. It was good to see some big ol' games going on and get the chance to play against some armies I don't normally run into!

All in all a fun day with a couple of beers to cap it all off.

Cheers,
Alan

Awesome! I hope you enjoy the changes. I look forward to our next encounter!
