Dreadfleet has sunk

Alas, we hardly knew ye. Now rot in your watery grave, you unasked for boat game.

It's official.
Dreadfleet sank. In order to deal with unwanted, impossible-to-sell stock (of a 'limited edition' game), GW recalled all its own caches. As you're reading this, they're being chewed apart by industrial machinery, or burnt to lovely crisps of plastic and fancy cardboard.

This might seem strange to some, but destruction of stock is usually a far better solution than cutting prices. Well, if you're selling a luxurious brand. So not 'boats with skulls, the limited edition game.' Yeah.
Let's not question GW's bruised ego, however. It's very likely they did this to make use of some tax evasion trick, because - as we all know - modern GW will never cut prices, hold sales, or heavily discount slow stock that's sucking up space in their warehouses.

3++ Vassal Ladder Season 1 - Launch

Hi everyone, this is Katie Drake bringing you Ladder-related news!

I have a pretty big announcement to make. 3++ has teamed up with Athran from Devgaming.net to present to 40K players everywhere Season 1 of the V40K Ladder!

The official forums are up. To get involved, begin here. You’ll need an account to make posts and join the ladder.

There have been some changes to the rules because of the way that Devgaming.net’s ladder software works, so be sure to read the updated rules post found in the forums. It’s nothing major, just the way points are earned and lost after games as well as a couple clarifications.

The Ladder will open for registration at 12:00AM on July 31^st, Eastern Standard Time. People are encouraged to use the time between now and then to write army lists, read over the rules, ask questions and maybe get some practice in.

I hope to see people signing up to the forum and posting questions, comments and more soon. Looking forward to laddering with you guys!

3++ Vassal Ladder - The Roolz

Hi everybody! I’m back, this time with the rules for the 3++ Vassal 40K Ladder. I read all of the comments and have come to a couple of conclusions on the questions I asked. I’d like to thank everyone for their contributions and input as well as Kirby for help with formatting and technical stuff (I’ve never used blogger before, see?) as well as providing me with a platform to reach all of the readers from. I’d also like to thank VT2, ZJoekov and Mcdmk2 for giving me the encouragement I needed to take the leap to start truly putting my thoughts out there.

I’m not into long introductions, so let’s get right into it!
