“EDINBURGH EXTERMINATUS – APRIL 2014”
c/o EDINBURGH LEAGUE OF GAMERS
Greeting
wall-of-text readers! After a few weeks attending the Edinburgh League of Gamers (ELG) on a weekly Wednesday-night basis to get my 40K fix, I found out
that the ELG were holding a 2-day tournament consisting of the following:
- 1750 points, 6th edition “singles” tournament, allies + Forgeworld-allowed, no Super heavies / Lords of War.
- 5 games of standardized 40K games consisting of 5 scenarios from the BRB rulebook with very minor variations per mission, with tournament scores attributable to differences in achieving primary, secondary, and bonus secret mission tertiary objectives.
- Approx. 2.5 hour time limit per game to keep to the schedule. Swiss system tournament setup. 10 tables (20 players) in total, with random allocation to start out with but a designated ‘top table’ (1) and ‘bottom table’ (10) which would give an indication of overall player rankings.
- Lunch, bottles of water and snacks provided, with a licensed bar.
While
having never entered a 40K tournament before and reading of all sorts of
power-cheese lists galore in such circumstances, I thought it would be an ideal
way to spend my weekend meeting up with fellow enthusiasts I might not ever see
at the weekly games night, plus to expand and interact with my ever-growing 40K
social circle, so why not? 5 games of 40K in 2 days, woohoo!
