It was a good day out! Thanks to Paul for organising the day. It was a great battle, which was in the balance much of the game. And as always with a big game, you get quite focused on your bit of the battle field, while stuff just happens on the other side.
The Chaos cavalry smashed into the middle of my Empire line and caused much havoc - and even though this left them open to much shooting enough stands were left to continue to cause problems for the whole game. My grand flanking move (shown in the photo) started so well, then stalled, and stalled, eventually managing to get the units of mauraders who were their target. The refused flank on the other side allowed the High Elves to sweep round, while the Dark Elves in the middle stuttered forwards in the early turns, but the cold ones caused some problems latter in the game.
WHW is very impressive - but yesterday it was really busy due to the WHFB competition going on, and was really quite noisy, so it was quite hard to chat across the table.
It does seem that more big WM games in the NW would be sensible - as we all came from 30miles of Chorley to play in Nottingham.
Nice to see the prime place of the Facebook page - and the positive comments - seems there are lots of people who like warmaster, but struggle to find opponents. There was also lots of interest from GW staff and other players during the day.
I'll get my photos off my phone later today and post them.
