Thread: 2000 vs 1850

That's a good point; the 150 point handicap could provide a bit of a balancing edge. That way, there's not as much need to hold back, and a newer player can actually benefit more from seeing full-out tactics rather than pulled punches. EDIT: That and a few of us aren't good at pulling punches either. I may not be a pro-tour player, but I'll club a baby seal pretty badly with the footdar mallet before I realize how far into overkill territory I've gone.

In the short term, that tournament in Dallas is 1850, and a few people wanted to start Adepticon practice 6 months and two codex launches in advance. While I'm not sure I agree with the latter goal, I don't mind playing games at a different point value every now and again so hey, why not. And as an immediate goal... I need to test the modified Eldar list to see how it does before I submit it.
