Pizza for food and beer to drink. Perhaps even some steaks if j would be so kind to cook for us.

3 Rounds based on scoring. Score is based on w/l/d with objectives and kill points for bonus points. Round one is objectives, round two kill points and round three random.

Round one: six players in three games. Round two: four players in two games. Round three: two players in one game. Or everyone plays three games and the winner is based on points over all three games. Opponents are drawn randomly by drawing from a hat with no duplicate matches. 1500 point list? Over a whole day?
Or 1.5 hours per game. That might be a better idea. Or I could sit out and officiate.

Saturday, March 12

Last night saw a short 2 vs 2 game, Jeremy and Andrew vs myself and matt. Shortly put, matt and I slaughtered them. Dawn of war deployment, three objectives. First turn when matt and I rolled onto the board we took out the vanquisher (my storm raven), and the vindicator ( matts predator). That was the two big guns there. Next turn saw the end of the attack bike (my Baal predator), the punisher leman Russ (storm raven), and the Valkyrie (my painted razorback). For a 55 point razorback to kill a 130 or so point heavy support unit...oh yeah. It was on. Every damage chart roll was a 5 or 6.

They ended up conceding the game at the end of our shooting phase in turn two! Didn't even get to turn three! It was a complete rout as matt and I didnt lose a single model. He lost one wound on his daemon prince and I lost a twin linked lascannon on one razorback that was also immobilized. It was a total rout.

The legend of the storm raven grows. It has yet to be destroyed an has wreaked insane amounts of havoc. I really should name it.
