Also make sure wolf sends out an email reminding us when we need to turn in our lists. I got an email in january or february saying he would send out reminders when lists were due, then that email never came and I forgot about it until it was too late.
I had an absolute blast this year, it was by far the best WGC experience so far.
The venue was absolutely amazing. Having the whole "basement" dedicated to wargaming gave the whole con a great "feel". I personally enjoyed it more than Adepticon (this is true for the entire experience I had, not just the venue).
The only complaint I have is probably due to butt-hurt, but here goes: in the team tournament, make the kill points total actually be the total accumulated by the team. Not every army is going to excel at killing things, especially in the team tournament -- and if you're playing as a team, then your totals should be as a team, not hamstrung by the team member that just couldn't kill as much as the other. I've tried hard to wrap my head around why you wouldn't do it that way...and I can't (which is probably due to my limited understanding), but I'd like to, if someone can explain it to me then maybe I won't even have a complaint. :)
Yeah, I feel the same about that mission. It was a fun game but the scoring is a little wonky.Quote:

Kingsley was born the year he died! (I kid).
No I didn't understand that either, some lists were built for synergy not for equality. Mike and I got lucky on one kill points game, weakening squads then sharing murder responsibilities. But in our first game, my army was basically destroyed on turn 2 to the point we knew I couldn't get enough kill points to compete for the win even though we had all of Mike's Army to wreck face. It took the wind out of our sails.
I think a solution is to score team tournament the way you score the main event, three equally weighted objectives. That way, you can throw those team twists in there, and still have winning solutions.
And then throw in one 5 point bonus objective if necessary for tie breakers, though I think you have enough side **** in the TT as to not need it (Display, theme, name, story, costumes, whatever, etc.)
I'm surprised anytime I encounter someone who doesn't know who bill hicks is...
