jchrisobrienA quick report from the first of three tournaments I will be going to in the next three weeks. This was in Waltham at Danger Planet, with my Dark Elf army.
I finished in last place, losing all three games.
One was against a kid who had a cheesy army, and once I accepted that it was a foregone conclusion, I had a small amount of fun.
The second (and best) game of the day was against a guy with a fair but powerful army, lots of knights. I started out strong against him, but he had some many units he was able to swarm around and attack me on several fronts, to which I had no real defense.
The last guy I gave up on turn 4 of 6. A third of my army died on the first few turns, and on the last turn I attacked with three of my units, and all of them did horrible and were run off the field. I could do nothing with what I had left, and quit. It was pretty poor sportsmanship on my part, but I was tired and didn't care.
Half an hour later, I was fine with it. I took my chances and was just very unlucky. I'll have a chance to try again next Saturday. It was only the last game that my dice were hurting me. I'll be trying a different version of it next time, as we will be able to field more points.

noble with blade of ruin on cold one, lvl 2 sorceress with black staff, assassin with manbane and hand of khaine.
It's an Okay list but the problem is everyon sends everything on the cold ones, who invariabley die. The rest of the army doesn't have much punch. I'm working on something for this weekend (2250 at YMG, if you have an army you should come play). But I just got spanked by a Chaos army tonight, so I'm still rather grumpy. The Dark Elves are fragile and hard to win with, and yet the guy who won last weekend's tournament was also a Dark Elf player.
