OldManMyke Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Time to put the pimping thread up for Spring Showdown II. This is a 3 round 50ss GG2017 based event with a relaxed atmosphere and a little bit of banter thrown in. Plenty of prizes and swag plus a few good games with a nice bunch of folks. Held at Wayland tickets are only £10. Venue opens at 10, first game 10.30 and we are normally on our way home by 6. Strats and schemes will be given out on the day. Painted crews are not required though there is a prize for best painted. This time its best painted triad of Henchman, Enforcer and a Minion Pick up a ticket from http://www.daffcon.info/store/p63/Spring_Showdown_III_-_7th_May_2017.html Participants Ben Harris Nick Featherstone Peter Shepard Joel Henry Tom ???

The key thing for me is that it stays at 3 rounds. 3 round tournaments are great from a "i'm not shattered from playing games" point of view. I'll grab a ticket asap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldManMyke Posted March 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Oh it will definately stay 3 rounds even if we ended up at 60 folks. One we get to those sorts of numbers we (as a community) are going to have to go to 2 day events rather than craming more rounds into a single day 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mean Hands Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Hello, I would like to come along to this event but can't be sure till closer to the time. At what point will the sale of tickets stop? Also this would be my first Malifaux tournament after just getting back into the hobby recently, any tips?

Kieran Hi Kieran, I can't guarantee, but @OldManMyke's events at Wayland games are usually available to turn up on the day itself. Probably best for him to confirm that though. Welcome back to the hobby. if you do go, you'll have picked a great event for your return as it's a friendly bunch of guys playing the same day.

Kieran Tickets dont get taken off sale TBH, you can even pay me cash on the day, though if you could purchase before hand it makes it less messy for the accountant. As said above the showdowns tend to be a very friendly affair with a wide range of player skills - we often get people who haven't been to events before and they always say that they've had a great time. Look forward to meeting you 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldManMyke Posted May 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Well that was another fun event, no real rules questions or issues that i heard about and plenty of new faces - some of whom walked away with prizes. Congrats to Joe for taking the win with a tough Rd3 match against George. I need to get my arse into gear with things like painting slips etc. so will rectify that for the next event as well as a couple of other things that annoyed me during the day. Next showdown is Summer on 30th July and then in October we will have Falldown III which as I said yesterday is going to become a 2 day 5 round event (21-22nd October) If you bought a season ticket and can't do the 2 days then just let me know and I will refund you the relevant portion. Next up for me, ITC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
