Hello All:

After the success of the last tournament and everyones desire to have another within less than a year, I took it upon myself to have a 520 point tournament. GrimFoe Games agreed to host us. Some may recall that Brian (Kinseth) hosted a tournament there a year or so ago and Alex/Tim hosted one there as well in January.


If you think you can make it or might be able to make it please post here on the site so we can begin creating our list of potential players.

If you have any questions feel free to post them here

Lets make each one bigger than the last

My wifes Birthday is April 17th, though I am on vacation that week, SO I think I can swing it.

Can I suggest doing something a little different, perhaps 500 point armies? 520 Point armies... Just something to change it up a little.

[Dankarabinhatesyou]

Absolutely Brian. Guys, lets do a 510 point army for this one.

[Dankarabinhatesyou]

Would love some suggestions for maps. Would like to get 9 or so so we can do a good dispersal of playing and maps. I believe there were 8-10 for the last two tourneys so that would be good. Even still, with that many, we should be able to do this so that you don't have to play the same map more than once

[Kinseth]

Are you planning on using glyphs on maps?

[Dankarabinhatesyou]

I remember they were almost universally hated at the first tournament by most, but I'll leave that one open to those playing. We'll poll some people. Tim? Kinseth? ZK? Any interest in glyphs or just normal maps? I believe Coyote refused to play if there were glyphs so that may be a reason to not. I'm not a huge fan myself but if the demand is there lets do it.

[Kinseth]

I liked what they did with the online tournament. Had a pool of 5-6 glyphs that can be used for each board. Randomly decide at the beginning of games what glyphs are placed. Have like say, 75% chance they have glyphs and 25% chance they don't have glyphs on the map.

Something like that.

I don't like glyphs at every tournament, but I do like them from time to time. Up to you Dan, Id suggest going with what you like for tournaments, if you don't like glyphs leave em at home

[Dankarabinhatesyou]

Ok, then that is what we'll do. This is a tourney for the people. I just wanna play the game and have fun, enjoy, and of course, rig the door prizes so I win them all. I kid I kid. Glyphs it is!

[zombieknight]

Hey there - first - obviously - count me in. I will be able to get my nephew Chris to come if he isn't on maneuvers. As for glyphs, definitely have 'em - I have yet to play a tournament with them, and would love to see how they change the dynamic. I have some other peeps that may be able to attend, but will have to check with them first.

I like the 510 points, challenging to sneak in all my soulborgs. I'd like to see some maps with slippery ice and on them, just because, well, I rarely see them, or am unlucky enough never to play them. Might be fun. But since my record is abyssmal at tournaments, I think I should try to encourage large, open maps that work with my /cough/ ranged army /cough/.

[Dankarabinhatesyou]

Haha, well we'll see how that goes Jer but fantastic. I'll put Chris down and if not, well then, thats how it goes. Steady at 6 now. Just gotta double that and we'll have as many as before and that was great!

[Onacara]

I will be at PAX East the weekend before so this is a no-go for me.
