| | It would be a good idea I think if we all brought some kind of small tray to roll in. Something to keep the dice in order. I know I've been guilty of rolling off the other guys side. [:I] | |

Welcome zenthrus,
This event will be using the current rules as they are going out the door. Tiles and 12 activations. This is the last event to be held that will be using the tiles and 12 activiations.
Hope to see you there.
Also we do have events held every Thursday at the Blackrose 7-9 pm and every other Saturday at the Game Den (soon to be changed to Hasturs) Next event is 2/11/06 at 12:00pm. Come and practice before the Utah Open. | |

| Thanks for the warm welcome. I've been around gaming in Utah for about 20 years or so. I don't get out to the gaming stores. The only one close to my house is Game Night Games and while it's nice to find people willing to play Axis and Allies (not the minis) they're not a good place for DDM/D&D/AAM/etc. I recently got into skirmish based on the fact that I use minis for D&D and decided I ought to consider the 'other' aspect. I've been following metagame/warband online discussions for about a year and have played the odd game on VASSAL.
My time is exceptionally limited this semester, however, (25 credit hours) and I have classes on Thursday nights so casually stopping by to play is not often an option. Saturdays are very hit or miss as well since I play with one of the local symphonies and Saturdays are concert nights.
Well that's it about me. I'll try and show for the Utah Open. If I can't make that I'm definitely planning for the Wardrums Release at Game Den. | |

Both should be fun. Out of curiousity, what faction do you like to run? Just trying to figure out what might show up at the Open. [:D] | |

Hey Raton,(hope you don't mind me calling you that, I just like the sound of it)you'll have to come to Game Den on the 11th so you can destroy my new band and crush any thoughts of bringing it to the Open. [B)] At least that would make the decision easier. [:p] | |

| I'm most familiar with either a Couatl/Marut (or Iron Golem) band or a variant Dark Flames band. I'd actually like to play my LG band against Dark Flames since it almost always has favorable matchups. I've also played around with FB/AoK/Inspiring Marshal bands, Greenfang Druid bands, and 3xOrc Champ beater bands. Currently I'm working on a CE band that I'm dubbing "Titanic." It'll either be impressive or sink just like it's namesake.
It's looking grim for the Open, unfortunately. I have a mass of papers due right around that time frame (plus a major concert the weekend prior). I'm still hopeful for the War Drums release.

| I actually stopped by yesterday and it seems they are doing a halfway job. They had a small pile of fliers on the desk by the cash register but it was covered by some other ad or promotion. So I moved the other thing to the side and let our flier be seen, also propped one up against a corner so it might catch more attention. Oh and they had two of the fliers taped so they are hanging down from the shelves that they keep their minis on. So it's looking okay....
I really like what Blackrose does. They have a ad taped onto the bottom of every booster in the store to promote thursday night DDM. I think that's a great idea. | |

I like the blackrose also, but for some reason (well I know some of the reasons) some people in the gamming community have a problem with the owners.
As I told someone last week, with all the stereo typing our community gets I do not know what the store owners have to fighter with each other about things that do not matter. | |

I know what you mean. There are two gaming stores in this town. One goes of its ways to accomodate any game, and will willingly schedule game room time (there are only a few repeat times a week, so this is pretty easy).
The other? Total let down. They even charge $15 per Saturday session of Warhammer. All they do is play on tables and use cheap terrain. The owner can be surly and I've heard of times when she ordered products the people really didn't want unless "it happened to be there" (non-critical purchases).
Care to guess which store I go to? | |

| | Depending on how the Utah Open will go, we will decide on where we will be playing next. We have problems with players not showing up to events and support from the store. The owner of the Game Den wants to keep us there and asked me what he needed to do to keep us there. I do not know what it will take to get players comming back to the Game Den, put please let me know what you need (other then more time in your life). I know support has been the problem, but that support has been run by the second owner who give his attention to his southern store, so they me be able to improve the support that they are currently giving. | |

| | Had a blast. I'm somewhat surprised that I went 2-1 (only lost by 2 points, too--Stupid Duergar and their Stupid conceal and my inability to roll higher than a 5 against it). I have a greater appreciation for both Xorns and the Mounted Paladin in skirmish. Both showed great promise. | |

| Alas, the glory of the almight Xorn reduced to nothing all because of a lousy 5. [:D]
On a more serious note the Xorn did surprisingly well. I think it's an overlooked piece.

| | I have narrowed it down to three warbands to choose from. Hopefully I will get enough practice on Vassal this week to know what I want to play. But whatever I choose to go with I just can't wait to play. I really like the bigger competitive tournaments like this and I hope it turns out really well. Good luck to everyone! [:)] | |

| Well, I had it narrowed down, but now I'm wavering. Looks like this event will be like the last couple I've played...bring 3 warbands and randomly choose one.
Only a few days left. Putting the dice through two-a-days to get ready to roll. [:)] | |

the event is now listed on the wizards site (DCI event locator). I am getting nurvious about running the event. most of you guys already know me so that I am not worried about, but the new location and hope of new players is what is causing it. | |

I too am really hoping we see some new faces there and can gain more players in our group. Fingers are crossed that all goes well. See you all soon. [}:)] | |

I will try to post warband of each player later.
Winner: Corim Danex. I hope he posts something as I watched too many games to have watched everyone.
We were hoping new payers and some older players would turn up, but many who I hoped would show, did not. | |
