Re: Kings of War tournament - Saturday 3 October

So $31.50 in total. Not bad.

Twinlinked Tue Sep 08, 2015 1:57 pm

yeah i think it is pretty reasonable,

especially for folks that get a chance to walk around and see the other events that are happening, the KoW schedule should be laid back enough to make that possible

I am actually at a real loss regarding how long 1000 point rounds should be, i think 1.5 hours is sufficient eh..

Matt Varnish Tue Sep 08, 2015 2:46 pm

Maybe go 2hrs, but this inludes setting up, all that stuff...

Twinlinked Tue Sep 08, 2015 2:57 pm

if we start at 10 (registration at 0930) and allow 2 hours per game we could play 4 rounds and be done at 1830 with a 30 minute lunch,

is that too long a day?

That sounds good to me.

PhantomRescue Tue Sep 08, 2015 11:49 pm

Two hours per game of KoW? That's crazy long. It's a game with a turn limit and I think Tristan and I played two games in an hour and a half.

It will also be our first tourney with the game system.

Worst case, we can always start new rounds if all finish well ahead of time.

No one has a dwarf blunderbuss to your head ))

I'm sure if we are all done with 45 minutes to spare we can move.tje schedule up

Twinlinked Wed Sep 09, 2015 7:18 am

I think it would be best to reduce the round lengths to 1.5 hours,

We wanted to give people time to walk around the event maybe go shopping etc. We could do 1.5h rounds and a 1.5 hour lunch to give people time to grab food and check out the event

Does that sound reasonable? I would like the tourney to be laid back enough that people aren't rushing.

Tentative schedule

0930 registration

1000 - 1130 Round 1
1130 - 1300 lunch/time to tour CGX and GM
1300 - 1430 round 2
1430 - 1600 round 3
1600 - 1730 round 4
1800 awards and recap

Thoughts?

Sounds great.. but its your tourney in the end.. Smile

Now.. how do I model up a French Napoleonic monster?

Twinlinked Wed Sep 09, 2015 9:12 am

that is tricky.. maybe a french dragon..

as for the schedule i prefer that it not be Go Go Go so if the one proposed sounds reasonable i think we will go with it,

A.

Matt Varnish Wed Sep 09, 2015 10:08 am

Your call. 20$ says someone runs out of time, in which case I break one of Phantoms models Smile

(as they were mine originally ) Smile

Twinlinked Wed Sep 09, 2015 10:12 am

I would like to get a few more games in at that point level to see how long the run, we are going from 750 to 1000 which is basically 1-2 extra units, not sure how much time that will take

maybe Friday?

A.

Twinlinked Mon Sep 21, 2015 8:46 am

hey guys,

just a reminder to buy your event and tourney pass before October to get the "early bird" price

A.

**CA$H** Mon Sep 21, 2015 11:05 am

Whats total cost?

Twinlinked Mon Sep 21, 2015 11:56 am

$21.50 - for the Saturday Day pass

$10.00 - for tourney registration

$31.50 - total as long as you register online and not at the door.

its an extra $10 to get a full weekend pass if you plan to come back on Sunday.

Schedule looks fine, like it was mentioned, as soon as all the results are in, roll right into next game.

Twinlinked Mon Sep 21, 2015 12:32 pm

That is my thinking, and with a nice big break to go check out the market at lunch i think it should make for a pretty good day,

Den,

i believe have a solution, for your French Napoleonic warbest i believe you should model an ode to Napolean Dynamite namely a "Liger"

I mean a Napoleonic army without a Liger fighting in its ranks is a bit of a missed opportunity i think,

Smile

Well... It turns out Ligers are a real thing...

Just a cross of a tiger and a lion. But they're incapable of producing compatible offspring of their own, and typically before being born. Though interestingly enough, they grow bigger than either.

I'll stop derailing the topic now... =P

**CA$H** Tue Sep 22, 2015 10:02 am

Silly question :

Why is KoW $10 when Warmachine is $5?

I don't care about the $5 - just looks odd on the registration page....

Twinlinked Tue Sep 22, 2015 10:18 am

Not sure.. it is just what was agreed, i am hoping to work with Shah to get all of the tournament entry fees normalized

A.

Matt Varnish Tue Sep 22, 2015 10:24 am

I expect the better tables for KOW than for WM.. even though it will be the opposite of that.
