I never really think to use Marcu so you’re good to go on that borrow.

Great! Sounds like a plan.

I know exactly how you feel.

Excellent! Well, as it turns out, we had a last minute "no" turn into a "yes" ourselves, so now we're looking at a possible 13+ attendees. Which is pretty amazing, all things considered.

We should have enough maps, but we are getting a little tighter than I typically like to see. @Detrimentalman , if you do come, would you be able to make a map? I would suggest Savage Corridor (that was the next possibility on my list). Except I'm not sure if you have any castle sets ... my notes say you don't. So either plan on borrowing castle terrain from wnfb (who doesn't need any of his for any of his maps), or, if that seems like too much hassle, just skip Savage Corridor and go with the next map on my list, which would be Ice Blossom. But either way you have to handle the instructions part yourself, because I just got back from the printer.

But, hey: too many people showing up sounds like the most excellent problem we could possibly have. Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!

(And I'll be checking in at least one more time before I leave the house.)

My terrain is all in one bucket as well so I can totally manifest another map. It’s weird for me only to be doing one this year anyhow. Hahah.

@Xotli I think I have 3-4 castle sets, but not sure if I’ll have time to dig stuff out tonight. I can always bow out if there is an odd number of not enough maps.

Yeah, I was going to assign you two maps, but everything I tried didn't work for what I have you down as your collection. Not sure why. But e.g. my spreadsheet says you can't build both April and Savage Corridor (because you only have 1 TJ), and you can't build both April and Ice Blossom (because you only have 1 TT). But of course my spreadsheet might be wrong.

No, don't be silly. Like I said, having more people than we expected is the best kind of problem to have. Way better than if like 4 of us showed up and just sort of stared at each other glumly. We can work it out; we're a resourceful lot.

Anyways, still building armies—now I have 14 to come up with. At least. Then a quick tile count on the maps I still have in boxes ('cause, you know: Guilty and Iskra could have taken some of the terrain with them when they took off), maybe a last check on the food packing, and then try to get everything into small enough containers that it will actually fit in the truck. Then maybe I'll get some sleep too.

Packed and ready for tomorrow! Can't wait to see you guys! Bringing my A game army since I want to take the gold for a third time!

[Xotli]

I think I'm ready. People are starting to arrive at my house, so I guess I better be.

See you guys in like an hour!

[Leotheanimal87]

Running a bit late. Hope to be there before 1130

Make it noon traffic :/

Great seeing everyone and thanks to wnfb for being such a great host!

Until next time!

[Xotli]

It was so great to see everyone again this year! I think everyone from my car had a blast—I know I did, despite coming in dead last in the tourney.

Say, does anyone (@warriorneedsfoodbadly or @hivelord , I suppose) have the completed tourney sheets? I've been trying the last few years to keep better track of who came in what order, and what their armies were. Obviously I know all the armies on my side—I pretty much built 'em all —but I didn't get to play Leo or hivelord or wnfb or hivelord's pop or Dman, so I don't even have a vague idea of what you guys had.

Looking forward to the next time we get together, and hoping it's not a whole 'nother year this time.

[hivelord]

It was a fantastic day! Thanks to everyone involved!
As is tradition, the pops and I finished within a place of each other and in a reversal of last year, I won!

My army was 5x Stingers, 2x Death Chasers, 1x Ogre Pulverizer, and Isamu.
Pop’s army was 3x Minions, Krav Maga Agents, and Atlaga.
