Warmaster Day, August 21st, Dover NH

[captPiett]

My bad; Must be my sense-of-humor deficit today.

[BlackEd]

I'll be bringing a giant, my armoured worms, a spare War Altar (Empire), Spider Riders (for Orcs), and my handful of wound markers. 

Does anyone want Empire Mortars?

[Haranin]

Incidentally, have you heard from the store owner about 9:30 open or?

[captPiett]

I seem to remember that 9:30 was a 'go' from one of the emails, but I can't quote which one...

Would anyone have an objection to me switching armies from VC to Dogs of War?

[BlackEd]

Thanks for bringing that up.  It is Official: Gary will open the store at 9:30am.

Would anyone have an objection to me switching armies from VC to Dogs of War?

I think I speak for everyone when I say yes. You're not allowed to play anything except VC. It's the NH state motto. "Play VC or Die (if your name is Matt)"

[BlackEd]

Matt,  I have no objection. 

[captPiett]

Matt,  I have no objection.

Excellent - however, after the drubbing I received yesterday* in my 'warmup' game against Dave, can I switch back?
Just kidding - sticking with Dog's of War.   

*The funny highlight of which was the aborted "charge of the dumb brigade"; not so funny was Dave killing outright a unit of dwarves with one round of shooting 

[Dave]

I went 9/9 in hits with a unit of Bolt Throwers and Archers and ended up rolling 5d6 in drivebacks. It might of been made worse by me saying "Oh dwarves, this isn't going to do much..." before I rolled anything. 

[Haranin]

I was shocked by hearing that 5d6 killed an until, until I did the math realized that result is only one standard deviation from the norm.

Still 9 of 9 hits? That is amazing.  While my general opinion is shooting doesn't do shit in WM; HE are one of the few armies that can pull it off.

[captPiett]

Great event Ed! Thanks for organizing it and thanks to Gary for opening early.
Looking forward to the next one!
