OK people so I went to the Dutch GT (grand tournament).

I had a blast I’ll try and put up some battle reports in the next week (if I can remember how the battles went).

Anny how four of us went to the tournament but only three of us made it to the finish. The best player of the group ended up whit a lovely lady when he went out after the first day. So he didn’t show up on day two¹ (to bad he had a shot at best general). One of us BOB (yea the guy who went whit me last time) won the great gamer award. That is the award for the most friendly player who made sure that his opponents had the most fun .I think they should rename that award the silver tong award cause Bob did some serious sucking up to his opponents so that they would rate him highly.

Me displaying my dispare at the state of the world because of Bob's win (also i do need a haircut don't i)

But I still think he deserves it more than anyone else. Why? Because not so long ago Bob was considered one of the most annoying players in the whole wargameing club. It even came to a point that some members wouldn’t even play against him any more. (and still don’t) Now that is harsh if you ask me. But Bob has come a long way I since those days. Not only has he become a much better player he’s also much more relaxed. Now I could say that is because of my good advice and exemplary behavior but that would be stroking my own ego (yes it’s a lie I know). Well maby it helped a little bit. But I think it mostly comes because he became a better player. When you know what your downing you are much more secure and there is less need to argue about the rules. Some times you can even let some rules abuse on part of you opponent slide cause you know you are winning. Also he can be a quite charming guy some times and the gods now he does make me laugh (oh and scare the shit out of me some times but let not discuss that on the internet shall we²)

For myself I think I played pretty well all things considered but I should drop the tank fetish soon cause it is starting to affect my army building in a bad way. I am starting to take tanks over everything even if there would be better choices if I give it some more thought. I did enjoy playing whit the stormraven tough. It can be a really effective model. And is also very forgiving to bad play cause it is 12 al round and a fast skimmer so you can get away whit a lot more than you would think since it is kinda hard to destroy³.And the fire power it can bring to bear on a unit is just shocking 230 points well spent if you ask me maybe I should make a second one?

Ill try and put some more pictures up whit my next blogs.

That’s it for now I’ll post some more later this week.

Btw Congrats to you Bob
