Although after hearing the way this tuorney will work I think it's pretty fair. My reasoning for disliking battle points is that some armies can crush another utterly, Brettonian knights as one. Some armies rely on prolonging the battle and grinding down, like dwarves. I stil don't think it's right that you can win all of your games in close hard fought battles, and lose out to a person you beat, just because they hit the right scaven unit and it caused the whole army to flee.

We are actually full at 70 players. I will start a waiting list and if anyone cancels, those on the list will be contacted asap.
CONGRATS! I will get on Nick's case to work on his Dwarves, they might be done in a year with daily torment. At that point if it's just us I will rent a car and drive up there.

So please let us know again next year. Thank you for all your effort Jeff.

First, you seemed tohave glossed over the fact that I stated if people enjoy these kind of things, then people should play them. I spoke to my friend, he told me I was wrong about the tourney. He won all, 5 of his games, with a well painted army and he is easy to get along with, but he placed 11th. The only other player who won all their games placed 8th. The winner won 4 and lost 1. As far as golf goes, in the game, yes their are handycaps, but I have never seen a handycap in a golf tourney. I could be wrong, but I don't think so. Lastly, I enjoy fuff armies, I have played them in the past, but when I do, I don't expect to be given a advantage just because I don't want to build list with no thought to its ability to win. I go in expecting to lose but have fun doing it. Since we are degrading to the point were we are saying things like "put the crying aside", this is sliding towards a flame war instead of a good discussion from differing points of view. I apologize to those of you who took it as a personal attack, it wasn't.

Oh, I will admit that calling it legalized cheating was a poor use of words, I didn't think it would cause this much of an uproar. Either way, those of you who are going, good luck and have fun.

We actually have 1 spot open right now, and possibly 2 more due to some upcoming family issues.

We award a sword and plaque for best overall. how that score is calculated is known in advance, so everyone knows what they need to do to score highly. Overall is an overall achievement on all aspects of the hobby and gamesmanship, not just can you make a crazy list and crush all your opponents. If thats your thing, then GW has the events for you...or did til this year. The Indepentent GTs have grown very popular due to players requesting some sort of comp whether player scored, scenario driven, judge scored, band/tiers, or whatever and those events are popping up all over as well as growing in size.

We award a Best General Warhammer and plaque to the person with best overall battle points (ie not including sports, painting, but sports is a tiebreaker).

We award a best painted and a players choice with a plaque. These have nothing to do with battle points.

so players can focus on 1 thing or overall and try to win. If youre a good painter, but not a great player, then generals choice and painting score are great.

@crobar there are also instances every year at GW events as well as Indepentent events where there are scoring errors or just bad scoring design. So its possible you guys just ran into one of those events. Let the organizer know what you thought went wrong, and if he cares about his credibility or popularity of his event, he will listen. Maybe even make changes.

If lodging is an issue, I can ask anyone at the club if they will host. We even have a Montgomery Inn in Worthington, and Skyline Chili is available in most parts of town. cheers Just none near my house Suspect

I thought I was ready but after playing 2 games the other game after a long Hiatus so i could play 40K I still have some relearning and not take too long between games of 40K... Sheesh I even forgot the Orc animosity rule as did my opponent... Took almost 4 hours to play the small games for all the rules checking and confusion with 40K rules... very embarrassing

we have players that have played over 3 editions, and players that have played 3 months. Tourneys are a great place to learn as you get to apply something within an hours of learning it.

no, we have almost 70 players. the Guard tower is pretty maxed at 24.

We play on the Ohio Wesleyan University Theater on the stage! Its a pretty cool venue. Can do announcements and awards on stage with players in the seats.

http://buckeyebattles.com/ seems to be up and running now.

We always give out an anonamous survey to see what we are doing right and what can be improved on. Im glad to say it was overwhelmingly positive. The cook out was much more popular than I thought, especially since it rained right up until start time.

Mike Marko from Dayton took 1st with Orcs!
Nathan Van Allen from Columbus was 2nd with Tomb Kings
David Bukowski was 3rd with Lizards.

www.buckeyebattles.com for full scores.

Hope you guys can make it next year. We evaluated the venue and think we can hold another 20 people if necessary.
