Templecon Recap, Day 1

I can't remember enough about the weekend to give a full Batrep on each game...especially the team drinking charity event, but there were some great moments I wanted to include and summaries of each game.

Double event.  Game one is a total blur, I remember we played Marcus and Kevin and a couple of other guys rented some super heavies and started playing on our table.  Probably should point out for those unfamiliar with the event that the rules for the whole day are more of a guide.  Judges can be bribed, you can pay cash to re-roll dice or orbital bombardments to place on any table in the room at any time...you don't need to even be playing in the event to buy these and use them.  In fact we there was such a crowd around our table first round with people paying to help each side that it raised the most money for the first round.

Anyway our opponents were playing...New Dark Angels and Chaos Marines. John and I brought Ravenwing and Tau.  It was the usual I sacrifice my whole army while John shoots stuff the whole game.  Worked out pretty well and we got the win.

Game two involved beer, I recall very little else other than that we won.

Apparently Titans use these templates?

Game 3 we were on table 2.  Depending on how things went on the main table we could pull off first place...that didn't happen, but I can tell you what did.  There were no less than 20 orbital bombardments used during this game taking out 50% of each sides models before the first player turn was even done, and we drank beer.  A stompa showed up and started shooting anything in front of it and we drank port.  I realize that our opponents are so drunk they have no idea what is going on and I sip whiskey for the rest of the game and we mop them up nicely.  Turns out the top table was a blowout so we didn't snipe first, but we drank very heavily and had a great time for charity.  Tons of money was raised for the RI Food Bank.
