[jus]

kojibear, fantasy game in the morning is cancelled, ah well, next time eh. Sorry Ten, looks like I won't be able to make an afternoon game. cheers

Well, today's Joshin event was pretty sparsely populated to say the least. Although there were 4 free tables (could've even had a fifth) there were a grand total of 3 games played over the course of the day

Game 1:
Underdweller (Tau) vs Mike_the_Pike (Eldar)

A bloody draw over 7 turns.
Both used generic HQs.
Normal mission
Game Highlight: Not a single assault in the whole 7 turns.

Game 2:

Asch (Grey Knights) vs Mike_the_Pike (Eldar)

The Gk's spanked the Space Elves silly in only 3 turns!
Both used generic HQs.
Normal mission
Game Highlight: A bladestorm from 6x Dire Avengers killing a 5 man GK squad and an Inquisitor in one go!


Game 3:

Auxryn (Tau)vs Iida-san(?) (Ultramarines)
A victory for the Tau

Despite the lack of warm bodies it was a good day out. Cheers Asch and Underdweller for the games. It was nice to see some new faces too (Mr & Mrs Auxryn and Iida-san).

Sorry I couldnt be there. Instead I spent the day at home spending some quality time with the wife. She read a book and I painted models....

Indeed, Prim. I too, was at home when the plumbers arrived. They were not as scary as I assumed my Mrs. believed them to be. They also did their business...hmm poor choice of words for plumbers...they finished their job in ten minutes

Hope to see you all at the next Joshin

[The Other Dave]

Same here. I'm itching for game after so long, but had to go out of town.

Next month (fingers crossed) I ought to be able to make it out.

[The Underdweller]

Well, it was a fun day, even if there weren't many people there!

It was my first real game against Eldar. They are actually quite Tau-like in a lot of ways. I also attempted my first (and probably last) tank ramming attack in 5th edition-I can see why it is not a popular option...

I also enjoyed "GMing" Auxryn and Iida-san's game, although I actually spent 95% of it talking with Mrs. Auxryn; which was fine as Mr. Auxryn knows the rules better than me, despite it being his first game!

Thanks to Mike forthe match against my GK!
It was rather a close match despites the outcome.I supposed my dreadKnight would be fried by fire dragons after he clippeled their transport.

I also had an opportunity to talk with Kondo-san about our strategy in coming Storm of Magic game.
In July, Joshin will be available for two days ( 28th Sat.and 29th Sun.) We will play SoM in 28 with a guest from Okinawa.
