Phasestar is not a revelation. I think it's been the same the last 6 years for a tournament. Just hoping you would show up for a tournament you sign up for. Phasestar is a dud for tournaments. That was uncalled for Will. As far as I know, I've attended every one that I've said I _would_ attend rather than might. In this case, I said I hoped I would be able to come but I had to cancel before the army list deadline due to family health issues. Those same family health issues have kept me from being able to attend any tournaments for the last year and a half, but previous to then I attended regularly. I began attending Black Moon tournaments three years ago. I keep hoping I'll be able to resume my previous schedule, but I'm having a hard time predicting when that will happen.

Sorry guys, more family issues this week mean that I can't make it this weekend. Wish I could be there. If any of you are willing to drive a couple of hours and get together on a weekend day in SW VT for some v4 or v3 FOW, please drop me a line. I could host two tables here. Ironically I've been up in Lebanon fairly frequently this year, just mainly during the week as I've been shuttling my mom to the hospital and back so there's never really a chance to do much more than drive by. Hope to be able to drive up there and game again later this year. I'm sorry to hear you can't make it, but there will always be more tournaments and events in the days to come. Keep your eyes peeled on the forum for future activities. -Jeff You can count on that, thanks Jeff.

I agree - and Will has always been great in person, I'm not sure what brought that on.

Jeff- Thanks again for organizing this event. I really had a great time! I think it's re-kindled my FOW Mojo... Already looking forward to the event at Carnage.

I agree - and Will has always been great in person, I'm not sure what brought that on.I am I am sorry for the post Phasestar. It comes down to many years of being a TO and having players sign up and dropping out at the last moment. There is allot of behind the scenes being a TO and organizing the event. I think the hardest is judging how many tables to set up for a number of players that could show up or not show up. Jeff did a fantastic job as the TO. I found myself calling on him for version 4 rules. It was my very first V4 games. I always say if you want to learn the rules. Jump in a tournament. My feedback from the tournament. Since they change that the defender can not win unless any attacking units are not within 16 inches of the objective is flawed if TO's think it's better to shorten the rounds from 2.5-hour games to 2-hour games. It's going to be a draw for both players. Jon and I had a slug fest my last game. That game was my most enjoyable game of the day. I had pack 36 gun crews pushing guns to hit Jon tanks in the ass. The 8 Rads driving amongst Jon tanks to kill Jons infantry platoon on the Objective. Jon had no time to shoot at the 8 Rads because he was duelling with my Marders and tanks. Then I had the Lorraine Schlepper Battery firing point blank range at his tanks. Those guys just kept being bailed and staying on the field of battle with a front armour of 1. That was amazing. That was one crazy game. Will
