Had a Phone call last night confirming my place.

at present there's only 14, so a top ten placing is a possiblity

14 eh? Small, but the chances of winning must go up - then again there were 10-12 when I got the call.....

Now all I have to do is sort out accomodation...

1st. Steve McEwan - Undead
2nd. Mike Wilkinson - Amazon
3rd Christian Burnett - Orcs
4th Shane Bradshaw - Skaven
5th Rob Walker - Lizardmen
6th Steve Butler - Orcs
7th Dave Gee - Chaos Dwarf
8th Duncan Railton - High elves
9th Aron Isom - Dwarfs
10th <I forget> - Orcs
11th <I forget> - Orcs
12th Tracey Heywood - Undead

Not bad from memory.

The 32 point system was used - I went 2 1 2 so pretty mediocre. But didnt win or lose by more than 1 TD all weekend...

Last game should hav won - but had 4 casualties in 3 turns done to me

good fun tournie though - and I got a trophy

All my games were incredibly close!.....need rematches against the two steves though...

Only 8th Noodle? That's a bit of a slip from your previous tournament. Well done for best painted though!

I must say I'm very disappointed that a blackshirt didn't well. Ah well 2nd, 3rd and 4th will just have to do

Congrats to McDeth I suppose

Morph> The competition was a tad stronger than at the student nationals - but I was pleased to see it was nothing I couldn't handle...

I lost 2 games - and they were ALL very close...

Lessons learned? Drop a lion warrior, drop a FF by 3, GET A THIRD REROLL

(teach team how to GFI)

Well done McDeth mate!

Thought it was gonna happen sooner or later, usually there or thereabouts (I made Steve's record at Spiky and the BB a combined W7 D3 L2, with the only 2 losses being by a single TD in all-Undead games, to Grumble and Sputnik).
What's the record now, and how many NAF guys did you play? (Top Undead coach I reckon.)

Grumbledook · Post by **Grumbledook** » Mon Jul 07, 2003 4:30 pm

ah i remmeber the days when i was top undead coach and 2nd in the rankings

ah well ;]

Pulled of some narrow last turn victories to do it, every game after the first was a nailbiter.

Beat Christian, Rob and Noodle all by 1 TD.

drew with Mike 1-1, and won 2-0 againts Steve Butler.

I know Steve wasn't NAF, rest i'm not sure about but as there were no NAF presence at the event i'm not sure if it'll go towards final rankings

Game with Mike in particular was lucky as i equalized in turn 8 of the second half, with a 4+ Dodge, 3+ Dodge then 2 gfi's.

However that made up earlier in the game where i needed a 4+ pick up with Surehands for a TD, (Due to Blizzard ), failed it then after mike failed the same roll, the next turn failed the pick up again with Sure hands. After that thought i was a goner, but managed to fightback. That game more than any really won it for me i think.

I'll do a better write up tomorrow.

Dave

1st question : Resounding no, i cant play those damn things

2nd question : yes, but only after Block, and in the final game it despatched a Krox and two saurus
