I was tossing the idea around for an Aussie vacay. Any recommendations on places to go/things to do? Hit me up in email bud!<br /><br />RollzyRoland Durendalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08389723800776089633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600589111118264680.post-47570402123800964292010-08-07T15:23:03.954+10:002010-08-07T15:23:03.954+10:00Chumby, asking if Woolongong is a real place is li...Chumby, asking if Woolongong is a real place is like asking if Woy Woy or Wagga Wagga is a real place!<br /><br />GreyIce, I'll get someone to ask your points on WAU and we'll see. Also, the main issue with 5th edition and tabling an opponent in 3 Turns is going 1st and also having the opponent reserve the entire army, it's not as simple in 5th to table someone in 3 Turns as poor reserve rolls mean that they can in effect eliminate that possibility against you.Auretious Taakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09261337221609987048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600589111118264680.post-43322462716835636162010-08-07T10:13:08.260+10:002010-08-07T10:13:08.260+10:00@Zheilt; ya it would be was just highlighting the ...@Zheilt; ya it would be was just highlighting the winner bracket<br /><br />@Wolf's Lunch; as Zheilt said, the 'losers' would still get tournament games in just there isn't going to be any "I won 3 games and lost one but won by 3 hugely so win the tournament compared to the guy who went 4-0 who scrapped by in each game."<br /><br />@GreyICE; aye 40k is never going to be like Tennis or soccer, etc. but it's the easiest to implement. You could do best of 3 series and have winners move on, etc. but time restrictions. If everyone could set aside a week :P lol. We'll see how Nova runs.<br /><br />Also, went and took a look at it and the bonus points do seem a bit eh but oh well ^^. Shall see how thesis goes though only one day is a good thing :P.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07693773850422698445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600589111118264680.post-5410839616487363542010-08-07T08:06:00.466+10:002010-08-07T08:06:00.466+10:00How do they handle things like armies that run no ...How do they handle things like armies that run no heavies, or armies that run no elites? Are those points permanently lost, or are they 'rolled into' a different point total (like if you have no heavies, killing all your elites is +2 or something). Also, +5 for your opponent essentially sucking is kinda terrible for a competitive event (playing a bad opponent is obviously great anyway, adding a 5 point bonus for playing a cabbage is just stupid). <br /><br />Other than that (and hopefully their pairing is not random) they should be good.<br /><br />P.S. Kirby, long experience with other competitive games with a luck element tells me that you do NOT want single elimination as your format. It will NOT select the best player in the room. A good model would be a 3 day event, 5-6 games friday/saturday, cut to top 8 on record, and single elimination there on out.GreyICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16068050095805271795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600589111118264680.post-16422151748699797202010-08-07T07:31:47.150+10:002010-08-07T07:31:47.150+10:00"Woollongong"

If I go it would be with Tyranids again most likely as I prefer to paint then assemble as I hate missing parts of models but will certainly look into it.<br /><br />There's another out in Penrith at the end of Sept that's 100 BP, 25/25/25 comp/sports/paint which is a bit better. <br /><br />Problem again comes to BP though. If I ever run 3++con (or Kirbycon as Ben likes to call it) it'd be straight up pairing with winner plays winner until there's a single undefeated individual. So a 5 rounder over 2 days gets us 32 people :P.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07693773850422698445noreply@blogger.com
