It's a great venue and central to the city with ample parking. If you are new to the Tournament scene or just beginning in the Hobby please let us know. We will endeavour to match you with an experienced gamer to show you the ropes.

Cool, can’t wait to see the player pack. Hope it is as thoughtful as Fob09 player pack.

[Lazarus]

i would probably be up for this.

[Fujin]

Excellent news lads. Good to see a positive step being taken by Auckland's largest wargaming club.

I will promote this through my email contacts and send out the player's pack when it is published.

[Philfy]

Good work.

Remember that if you are intending on advertising the event in the White Dwarf (IMO about the best way of letting those potential players out of the "loop" know about it) then you need to get the info in 3 months in advance IIRC - printing deadlines n all.

Cool, can’t wait to see the player pack. Hope it is as thoughtful as Fob09 player pack.

Na, no thought at all 

[Fujin]

I hope it's way shorter than the FoB player pack. That guy didn't know when to shut up... blah blah blah - pages and pages of it!

[Lazarus]

any idea of amount of points???

[Simon]

met Phil at Rion's place on monday, he told me the player pack is like 1 or 2 pages long??

player vote tier + hard cap comp system??

[Josh]

PP fits on 1 A4 page... just the way we like it!

[richardbarby]

re fujin is there any compertition to being auckalnds bigest wargaming club?

[Lazarus]

dont think there is but we have been around at least over 10years and are the main CBD club

[Sectiplave]

Cool, I'm keen for an excuse to take a weekend off work and try out the tourney scene.

More motivation for me to finish painting my army

I'll sign up once my leave is confirmed

[Hausdorff space]

Warmachine? 

[NeckFace]

any idea of amount of points???

guess it depends on whoever is organising the 40k side

can the 40k tournie be called Ekanwox?

[Philfy]

No, I believe it'll be titled "Ewoknox" 

[NeckFace]

costumes are mandatory

[daemion]

I cant run the 40k. sorry boys. Any one else want to step up to the plate?

[juiced]

this could be my first ever tourny.......p oint size would be good. so i can aim to finish things up

[Simon]

Have you been on the Burbon Rion? Good on you if you have but I still don't know what that sentence means?

*Players pack is getting ironned out at the moment. Sorry I have just got back from competing in the masters and am unaware of anyone bar the committee and possible other helpers having access to the WIP. I really don't see it as being an advantage however as the pack will be released at least 4 months before the tournament. I will guarantee to make everything transparent and there will be no unfair advantages taken in this tournament just like any other. If you have any problems please email myself or Nick and we'll deal with it.


@Haydn

I have been in touch with Chris and Nick has been in touch with James. I have heard nothing back from either source. Tables have been offered to other systems and I have none spare to offer to Warmachine now. If you do want to be part of this you will I presume have to rent more tables at your expense and I'll try my utmost to accomodate you in the space plan.

i:P to you to Woodstock breath

[Antony]

FYI the pack is heading towards
peer judged tiers which give VP bonus
hard caps which fit within the rules (but look like ETC)
- comp, no double rare, one double special, one triple fancy core...
- magic, PD and DD limits
- army specific, for most armies have special limitations, like max size of a unit of shades is X models, ring of hotek counts as Y DD

The tourny is ages away. There is Christmas and at least two other tournies before it. Don't stress 

[Glenn Patel]

Yeah. Really, it's just extra work for us; I for one feel like I need to review my lists in light of those rules - and my margins of victory, too.

Remember, it's not finalized, so for now it's not about practicing abuse, it's about seeing what's broke and what's not.

[Philfy]

What in particular seems to be the issue with no double rare's?   I can't for the life of me think where this IS an issue.

(I'm assuming no double rares means no two rare choices the same)  Given that HE's seem to be allowed it anyway, whereelse exactly does it become an issue?  If using tiers then its unlikely we'll see two Steam Tanks or Two Hydras etc anyway?

Not ALL rares are actually cheesy or OTT (and in fact there are many that see hardly any use whatsoever).  

Please enlighten me.

[Vaul]

Double Screaming skull catapults, double units of flamers, double steam tanks?  Not sure if that last one is allowed with the terror causer restrictions but I think the no double rares can stay.
