PanzerHarris Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Paid up. No idea what I'll be using yet - suspect it'll be a case of confirm on the Sunday morning! Might be a couple of others from Warzone's Own, depending on who's free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psientologist Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 I've paid up as I believe also have a couple of others I'll be coming with. Looking forward to it! Though, I do have a restraining order on Paul (Tapdancer) so if you could make sure he doesn't speak to me that'd be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reservoir Dog Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Payment sent, can't wait. Just for my own clarity, does that mean the strats (I made sure it didnt autocorrect to straps this time) are: Round 1 - Guard The Stash, Corner Deployment Round 2 - Turf War, Standard Deployment Round 3 - Reckoning, Flank Deployment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallenspirit87 Posted June 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 yes those will be the strategies for the three rounds, schemes will be predetermined in sealed envelopes opened at the start of each round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommenRamos (MarcusRose) Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 The "Terrible Twosome(Marcus Rose and Ross Baker)" are booked into your event, we may only just make it for 11.15am as we arrive into Lichfield station at 11.00 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerHarris Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Are you absolutely sure we have to play Reckoning? It's a bit... well... Rubbish. Collect the Bounty or Headhunter are way more fun! And I'm always happy to bribe the TO with a drink or two... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be fine Ben, just play a bit more agressively, it's only 2 models a turn and it is flank deployment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerHarris Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Just because I'm crap, doesn't mean Reckoning isn't an arse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psientologist Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Enjoyed the tournament yesterday, while I remember I thought I'd put a little "review" here. Shop is lovely, was very nice to visit. Staff are great, locals all seem like lovely people too and all of this resulted in a fun, chilled atmosphere. For a FLGS it was actually quite big and although upstairs was a little cramped it wasn't uncomfortably so, I'm a big ole' fatty and I was fine for most of it though getting to tables did need some planning. However this is the case for a large amount of events in shops I've been to and it was no where near the worst. Heat although usually kind of nice having the sun out did make it a little worse, I'm not sure what I would suggest. Fans + Cards does not = a good idea. Maybe just have the window sill cleared for extra breeze. Water bottles would be great too. A lot of the terrain was great and I already know the staff were away (and apologetic) about some of the "modern" boards. I played on a 40k table round one and with reasonable decisions about height it wasn't too bad. An easy fix though if needing to budget is just getting more "small scatter" and moving a few big clunky buildings away. I appreciate that by the next time I'm at an event in Titan Games they'll probably just straight up have more nice tables but, no problems without answers (or something). The only other thing terrain wise is I'd like to see more "dense" stuff likes trees etc. although maybe it's just a coincidence I didn't play with any. Round times were a little off, I believe Marcus said about getting a clock and although that still never fully solves the issue (especially when are heads are all down and in the zone) it can help. Fixed Master was cool for me, I prefer "vanilla" Malifaux as such but I do enjoy the change every so often. I like the envelope system in essence but I will say personally I think it just takes a little bit of time away unnecessarily and I can imagine it being too much to sort quickly for some. The opposite issue there is the crew selection part eats too much into the round. It might just be my laziness and messiness combined but I'd prefer a little more grid-like score sheet. I (and many others) have a decent one I can send over to use/edit for the future so just ask. And although I'm not too fussed by the envelope system I did like the way the strats and schemes were laid out for everyone to see. I have cards for my schemes but not everyone does and the reference is very good, perfect for people's first few events and still good to check even for tourney regulars. Hope this didn't seem like a rant, just little pointers here and there to improve what was a really fun and really well run event. Oh lastly... Tin cups (or whatever) for trophies, I was sad not to see that even I wouldn't have got one anyway. Again budget etc, I understand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallenspirit87 Posted July 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 thanks for the feedback, it is always appreciated. alot of the points you have made are already in my diary for the next one im planning ( hopefully early october). layout of tables is something im looking at for october, cutting the upstairs tables to 6, and putting two in the back room so that there is more space to move around and more airways aswel. More small scatter is already on my paint station, with more ordered, and more buildings from TT combat are on the way too. i looked at trophies but simply ran out of time, it is something that going forward will be available in the prize pool. id be very interested in the score sheet you have, i did attempt one on excel but my knowledge of excel is limited, the guys at titan had one for the 2nd and 3rd round scores which was already an improvement to mine, so any material on this would be very welcome. very glad to hear you had a good time though and hope to see you at the next one! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
