GUARDSMAN TROPHY 2010 Results

[wouster7]

Hi all,

The colder months are fast approaching and we all need a coulpa or three games of ol' WarHam to keep us warm. We have 'The Guardsman Trophy 2010'. Last year we held a league like competition where Simon took out the top honours. This year we will be doing a similar league like competition over 5 weeks (game every Sunday at club times or played at your leisure) to decide a champion. We need a result every week so you will need to play one game at least a week. Entry will be $5 for the entire competition with Medals for placings 1st to 3rd and of course the Trophy for the winner.

I will need a list of likely contestants interested who can play 5 straight weeks of games. The system used will likely mirror that used for Tin Soldiers 3.
Start date will be as soon as possible (hopefully next weekend).

[Derick]

7th Edition right?

[Big D]

You're all delusional. It is time for the new kid to shine. I'm in.

[wouster7]

Everyone will be competing with an army from one Army book. Your army list may be different every game at 2250pts. Please double and triple check your list is correct to make it fair for your opponent, and if unable to, get ya mate to check it. Comp will be marked each round by your opponent (yes its Peer comp so any huge swings you gonna have to wear it as it's a Club competition ). I would expect everyone to play fair and no-one has any 'hissy fits'. If prone to 'hissy fits' then I suggest this League is not for you and you should join the ladies at the tea party down the road.

7th Edition right?

Sure thing mate. When you play me you can use any rule set you like as long as you declare it at the beginning of your turn and you own the rule book. Thats only if ya playing me

No paint to worry about?

'Paint' whats dat?

[Glenn Patel]

[Simon]

r we starting this weekend or next?

if anyone want to start this week, i'm ready for a game.

[Antony]

Why don't you make it either:
1. hard caps
or
2. fixed army list and panel comp

[Derick]

Peer comp means no Vetoes, right?

Slann in bunker
lvl 2 w/- EOG
Jag Vet or skink sniper

1 Sallie
2 Razordons

1 unit Terror-dons
1 unit Cold ones

1 unit Asparagus
2 unit Stink/Krox cohorts
1 unit Stink sirmishers

8 PD, 6 DD.
concessions: coldones, Stink/Krox cohorts

[wouster7]

We're starting next weekend so we can decide numbers and draws plus a defined system. Everyone can come talk to me and we'll adjust and fine tune Sunday.

Why don't you make it either:

2. fixed army list and panel comp

Guardsman Trophy was the league to prepare you for the upcoming tournament, in this case TS3. The competition is so you can test different variations in your list and learn to play your army better, hence adjustable lists. Panel comp will require somebody with more time. I think Peer comp will get dusted out for this one. It worked out well last year as there were no nob's giving unusual scores. Who knows about this year

ok, so the cup can stay in my draw for another week.

[wouster7]

Could you bring it so everyone can catch a glimpse at the riches. Of course it stays in your cupboard till the conclusion of the league where it will be handed over to the new champion

you mean I should bring my shiny cup so everyone can envy me, then put it back into my draw for another year?

[Josh]

Not for me this year thanks. I'm playing Warmachine for the next few months.

Is there any more players wanting to take part, please get a hold of me asap. First round starts this week bring ya $5 as I'll be getting the prizes and medals. Draws will be out Saturday. Rules will be clarified later this week for now its TS3 template, Peer comp marking per game. Good luck to all the competitors.

Edit: If for any two games you are marked the maximum negative for your army you will receive no Battle points for those 2 games for your tournament score. Theres a level of trust that you won't be manipulating this to your benefit. You guys will all still have to play the guys after this trophy round so I'm guessing you won't

Cheers,

Phil.

[Vaul]

Damn, I feel sorry for jeff in round 2.

[Argron]

Well after throwing my first game for purely tactical reasons of course. I think iv set my self up nicely to get a top ten position, which I think is a good goal for most tournaments really. Also I feel very confident in my placing at the moment as it gives me the ability to submarine to the finish and since iv used up my -2 in the first game I think iv left ample room for list adaption to suit the rest of my next opponents.
But I to do feel sorry for Jeff, Luke as with the list I took and the about 3000 to 150 point hammering I got things can only improve!! So im sorry Jeff because I could not have lost more points against Phil so if theres something left on my side on the table in our game things have gone well!!

[Big D]

Thom              0*

* Maximum negative comp. If 2 or more then those battle scores will not count for overall total. 

I'm sure Thom will be heartbroken if his 0-20 drubbing ends up getting veto'd out of existence 

[wouster7]

Well after throwing my first game for purely tactical reasons of course.

So thats what you were doing
I think my cunning use of Bretonnians instead of the expected Elf horde dupped you into a false sense of security. Dice was going my way as I was rubber lancing like no bodies biz but those insane ward saves won the game. Of course your generous Slann blowing up your bunker did help to swing the tide.

Hightlights for me.
1. Lord killing blows 'Ancient Stego' and turning him into BBQ chops.
2. Two units of knights and pegasus knights rubber lancing and hitting twice in the whole combat. Only the Pegasus able to do 1wound but killing... go Peg o doom
3. Slaan bunker stubborn and unmoving for 4 or 5 combats. Miscasts trying to pick off a lone KOTR miscasts but has a reroll on the miscast table. Blowing up about six of his retinue.

Cheers for da roll over Thom

Notable moments from the rest of the games?

[Big D]

** One unit of ghouls accounting for a unit of Dryads, a unit of Warhawks, Wardancers, Waywatchers with the remenants then holding the glade riders in place to be smashed by the Black Knight bus.

** Wild Riders + frenzied/hatred Stag o'Doom completely whiffing against lone Wight King BSB only to get slaughtered by my black knight bus.

**Treeman losing combat and running away from my Ghouls+Zombie charge after failing stubborn break test and getting run down.

**The fact that after all that, I still lost 

[Argron]

Well my highlights were
1. Setting up two flank charges on two different units in the same turn and managing to screw them both up to the point were both my units died.
2. Picking the lore of metal vs Bret and getting 1,2,3,5 ie not 2d6 or Forge.
3. The first time iv ever taken reroll on the miscast table in a list and still rolling under 4 twice
4. Failing 5 ward saves from 5 wounds in two rounds of combat on my slann from a Bret lord with a hand weapon!
5. Telling Phil his list wasnt that hard and giving him a 0 for it
Man of the match
My lone salamander who killed 18/20 men at arms, panicked a knight unit away from my line, killed a trebuchet and laughed off the hail of arrows he took every other turn
