Hi everone
Well today was Conflict Scotland event. Apart from some issue the tournament side was a good laught with some great oppents. I should have a report up soon over on Bolter & Chainswords.
Winner from GW Falkirk/Stirling
40k, MrMiller, Iain Skinner would double Ork Nobz biker list with warboss (12 models in 1000pts)
WFB, Gus & Neil McKay came 2nd overall??
LotR, Dave & Widdle
For me.
Round 1: table 35, Chaos & Daemon, draw. Was a bloodbath with no troops alive apart from Nurgle once. I loss a Squad of Grey Hunters. I also Lascannon Kharn
Round 2: table 21, felt sorry for my oppents. Great gamer's just we had to finish the game by turn 4 due to a mess up which resulted to "ment to be" 12.45pm start to after 1pm, we (40k player) had to finish by 2pm & hand result by 2.15pm.
Me & Graham Won. Lot of Moster in the army
Round 3: table 7. Oppents where great & enjoy the game. Though I hated the table & me/Graham did complain to the ref's about this.
It was done because there was only three bit of terrain on the table.
Loss by 2 Kill points was Eldar & Tau to armies I tend to struggle against.
Got Courage & Honour as well as Hero of the Space Marine books, also got a free Courge & Honour posted which was cool.
Report to follow with photos

Had a great day at conflict today as Jamie said managed to win (yes joint winners count before you say anything Chris  ) LOTR with Liddle, but well done to everyone from Falkirk/Stirling was cool coming back on the bus with all 3 winners tropheys and the 2nd place WFB. Bit crappy about the 1 trophey per team but there seems to be a good chance that will be fixed. Apart from the tournament side it was also a good day for purchases, got the Dwarf background book Grudgelore for £2, a small limited edition short story from the Malekith series by Gav Thorpe, an old Cold One Knight model to use as a DE BSB for 50p and best of all the metal covered Storm of Chaos book Darkness Rising. Breif tournament report Game 1: played two guys from Newcastle using Dwarves and Wood Elves, it was claim the centre of the board and a random game ending that once one side had suffered 50% casulties the game wound end on a 1 or 2. We managed to pick of almost all the Wood Elves before the slower Dwarves made it to the objective and our opponents rolled a 1 at the first opportunity so we 13 models on the objective to our opponents 2 giving us a major win. Game 2: up to table 1 for this one against a double High Elf army which was pretty hero heavy, this was basically a straight pitched battle only one half of your force came on from one of the two board edges. Probably one of the best games of LOTR I've had, both opponents were great and although we managed a major win in the end it was a back and forth game which could have very easily been a draw. Game 3: after the first two games there were only really 3 teams in contention ourselves and our opponents on 6 points and a team on table 2 with 4 points. What added to the closeness was that not only did we both have 6 points we both had 31 victory points. We pretty much dominated our opponents Gondor armies but the objectives were to kill opposing heroes and get your heroes within 6 inches of enemy models at the end of the game and they cleverly kept there heroes well away from our shooting. However I did have the chance to kill Cirion and win the game but some awful rolling over 4 turns saw me fail to get either the 4 or 5 required to do it. This meant the game AND the tournament ended in a draw. Overall really good day no real complaints (other than the aforementioned 1 trophey per team) I wasn't too bothered about missing out on lunch my Mixed Korma Calzone from Saturday night kept me full all day.  Hopefully this isn't the last Conflict but if it is atleast it went out on a high note. |

Sorry, cba signing in. You drew with another team for 1st place? aye identical victory points aswell, would have told Jama had he not been such an ignorant... (I'll let you fill that with one of his many adjectives), although we did make a mistake in game 1 as we were due two more victory points which would have made us 1st on our own. Happy with joint first though as it's still first in a tournament. |

I still think you should have arm wrestle (sp?) with the team for first place. Or that least fight to the death between you's. |
