The Miniature Building Authority guys were there, throwing down with their 28mm middle eastern modern combat extravaganza.
They also hosted a "Best Table" competition as part of the tournament, prized donated by MBA (thanks, guys!). Kritikalfialure brought his Stalingrad table (below) and I think his frozen Russian table...
While I brought my ghetto table mat for urban fights, even though I can't really fill it. I had to barrow some buildings:
...and of course I brought some of this along. I won "Best Table", which always feels great. And usually comes with a free building when the MBA guys are around! Again, thanks guys! My collection just keeps growing and growing.
There were a lot of cute toys being played with...
...and I got a sneak peak at this year's new release from MBA: The Church (looks a lot like San Marigliese to me...)
The roof on this thing comes off in like six pieces.
Game 1 of the day saw me defending in a Break Through against Sean.
He did well for a new player, and showed a lot of enthusiasm. Good game, Sean!
So I started with a 6-1. Anyone who knows how I tend to do at tournaments can see where this is going to go...
Game 2 of the day for me was a Free For All, again defending, this time against Alec. It was a good game, and I got to try out my new table for the first time in a real game, but I got my ass kicked. I'm going to blame my loss 100% on the distraction caused when Alec's lady friend paid the table a short visit.
my boys tried to hold on hard in the city...
but it was new, unfamiliar terrain, and their enemy was bold and strong.
Alec and I fought it out to a hard 1-2 Tie.
With the onset of Game 3 I met Mitch and his lovely wife. With as much charm and pleasantness as you please they sat me down, set out for a game, taught me a few things, and gently set me down again with a pat on the head and a 1-6 ass-whippin.
It was a smooth tournament, though as always I'm a nervous, bitching wreck at the end of three games.
The next morning DaGrinch laid out a sweet little village for his Kelly's Heroes game. It got all fucked up by a bunch of dumb ass players, and we never really got to finish the scenario before people started leaving. I think something went wrong early on, but I'm not sure cause it was early and I wasn't playing attention, even though I was playing.
