*neek neek* the clans are gathering !

[Lex]

to once more visit havoc on the empires of man, dwarf and elf!

EuroGT 2011 will start in less then 2 weeks time, and the clans are gathering for their march on the Empire city of Kahrlsruhe!!

EuroGT format, for those that dont know, is an team-based event, and features pitched battles as well as scenario driven games during the weekend long campaign. This year we provide a 1600pts and a 2000 pts list. Scenario may dictate which force to use, for pitched battles opponents agree on the army-sized used.

Below is my 2000 pts list, and yes, that is a LOAD of units

Skaven 2.2 EuroGT 2011 2000 / Skaven 2.2 - 2000 of 2000 points - breakpoint : 16

2000 points - breakpoint : 16

Woa!!! that break point is very high for a 2,000 point army. Scary. My break point is 9 for my 2,000 point Dark Elf army. 

How many units are you going to have in your largest brigade? 

[azrael71]

That is going to sit on the start line all game 
Be nice to see what others are planning on taking too.

Not the highest achievable even ......    

Skaven wont have a brigade as such, and I never play with predetermined composition. In general I will see what I want to move in a next turn and place commanders accoordingly to cover those areas. In previous EuroGT's when playing Skaven I have managed 12-16 units on one order.......

No it wont !!   

It may stall somewhere halfway down the table......

Beware some other euro GT players are not lurking here to spy your skavens regrouping

The Power of the 13 fears no opponent! *neek neek*

We just sometimes find it ore opportune to be back home in time for dinner......... 

[Jurisch]

@Lex: When I see your huge number of units. I'll think I have to make a time limit for builing up the armies to avoid delay within the tournament. 

[Lex]

Dont worry, I generaly just plunk them down and sort it out during the first movementphase   
I even might use the QDDS (quick deployement delivery system)

[Claus]

@Jurisch

No time limit needed....just do a massive attack with all you have and you kill 12 units Rats in on turn  

@Lex

Nice list....I like the attempt of having massive units.

@Marell

No Spy actions neccessary as Euro GT is an Empire based event and you never know who´s your next opponent or which scenario you have to play......and ....it´s pure fun event with lot of games in 2 days and nights  


The challenge is to find an army set up for 1600 and 2000 pts that allow you win each scenario.
I´m playing with the thought to bring my "Daemon Army" to Karlsruhe, or the Undead, or the Lizzardmen...or....well I guess I have to take the decission this weekend

See you then in Karlsruhe.

Claus

Did you have the tournament?

If so, how did it go? 

[Lex]

Yeah !!  EuroGT was last weekend, and as always very good fun, it is always nice to meet old friends from far-away places and to meet people from the forums and be able to put a face to a name (in this case BlackEd made his way over to Germany from the States to join us!)

The event itself is not a proper tournamentas such,but a campaign-driven teams event, so winning or losing games may be hard depending on circumstances. That said the ratz did nice winning 2, drawing 1 and losing 2 (altough I claim one loss as a moral win, because the scenario is almost impossible to win, and I DID get to hold one and content another objective which means that the only UNIT lost in the entire game (one unit of gutterrunners) made the difference    )

The massed approach did work well, and several opponents where phased when gutterrunners appear all over their zone, and two consecutive orders from the general then move 24 units !!! to the midline of the table..

Oh Yeah .....  the Ratz could have clinched the team the event win in the FIRST round of sunday, but due to some miscommunication (there is on average 4 languages spoken at any EuroGT   )  I ended up defending in that game, instead of attacking. If I HAD played the attacker and won that game we would have overrun the oponents capital city

reports and pictures, please

[calmacil]

Sounds like a really good event Lex, I'm always put off tournaments because most of them are too serious.

I like the idea of all the games having scenarios and leading up to an overall objective.

[Lex]

EuroGT is started just to make for that social gaming environment. When we started this in 1998 !!   <----  I fancied the ideas tthat Jervis published in 1997 in WD, bragged a copy of that set off him, and we started with the 1st European Get Together with people from the Mordheim and the Direwolf (WHFB) Yahoo groups. After the first one we expanded with Warmaster, and since then it has been a Teams Campaign weekend with the focus on friendly games. Sometime we dont have enough local players to fill Mordheim or Whfb, but we also had 1 EuroGT that incorporated MoW.

We also often have non-european players that find a way to plan their visits in conjuncture with the EuroGT, this yeah BlackEd managed a weekend-permit from the warden !

Join us next year        EuroGT is normaly held around the 2d or 3t weekend of March...
