Those rules are easily broken. I don't think I have bought a single drink at any of the Wargames/Bols Cons; either location.
it only matters if the hotel is serving alcohol in the specific room that the function is in. if they're not serving in that room you can bring anything you want. (been working in hotels a long time)
And they sell beer in the game space.
I got the Wargamescon invitation e-mail today.
I shed a tear of sadness.
Only 1 Warmachine event?? What the **** is this ****? No WM/H team tournament? No Steam Roller tournament? Just 1 Warmachine weekend qualifier event...... So your telling me I have to pay 85 dollars to be able to play 1 lousy event? Who the hell is running the Warmachine portion of this Con? They should be ashamed.
I agree. While I'm cool with people who are focused on the tournament scene, I don't see why there can't be more than one Warmachine event. Hell, the 40K players have four, and their games take far longer. It can't be a space issue, because I was there last year, and there was a ton of unused space, and open tables. I really don't get it.
The one price for warmachine should pay for all the events they are having. Should still be the same amount from last year but haven't gotten the information from them yet.
this is the nicer version of what I have to sayQuote:

I'm just not interested in the Warmachine Weekend qualifier, as I have no desire to goto WMW
ok guys, if y'all didn't go last year, they had 6 WM/H events.
Hardcore / blitz mangled metal
2x qualifiers (50pt steamrollers)
masters / 35pt flanks
Its called "Warmachine Weekend" because its a full weekend of events. As far as I know, they have not approved the WGC application to be an ACTUAL "Warmachine Weekend Qualifier".
AS much as Id like to ala cart the events I will be in (and most of the people from the store I play at are in that boat) It was pretty solid last year. I played way more WM/H than I could handle. Luckily this is early enough that if we WANT a team event, whos the boss, Iron Arena... We could take it to the powers that be. Which is Will Pagani. I"ll post on their forum and ask them to monitor this one.
We are planning on having a Team Tournament this year. It will probably be similar to the Templecon tournament (50 point, 3 player teams). I'm pushing for another old school Hardcore as well. The Masters on Sunday will almost certainly be 50 point steamroller, perhaps with the specialist variant. If there are requests for tournament types this year, PM me or just post them here.
There you go. Nick is a pretty solid dude. Im sure more information will come out in a few weeks to update the main site, everyone take a chill pill, drink your eggnog, Keep Calm and Paint your Models.Quote:

When I read that, I was concerned that every event at WGC would be geared towards qualifying for Warmachine Weekend. No offense to the people who run that convention, but I don't think WGC should be a fluffer for them. There should be a healthy mix of qualifying tournaments, as well as one-off tournaments.
Seems like things are going in that direction though, so that's a good sign.
Lets be honest. the website was made by people who play 40K and only 40K. They don't know all the ins and outs of our community, and have even outsourced it all. From that perspective, they can only put up what they know about and need to be fed accurate information. Ive been emailing the powers that be and am bugging other people to get communication more fluid. (I even corrected the Kotei part on the l5r ticket). If we keep positive and try to help the 40K players understand our world, then things will go better for us.Quote:

I'm in talks with my FLGS to run Who's The Boss (We ran it a few weeks ago, had 90 casters and it was INSANE). If need be, I'll run the ****ing thing myself as after hours gaming in order for people to feel like they aren't being pigeon holed.
Or you guys could just flip out and start cursing. That's cool too.
There's really only one way to settle this.

That would definitely be more entertaining to watch.Quote:
