Overall, the mixture of armies is decent and about what I would expect. I am surprised to see no dwarves or empire, but between the undecided player and another month before the event, a couple of those armies may slip in. I am also impressed to see two wood elf armies, as the general internet scuttle about them has not been positive since the release of 8th edition.
Looking at the actual list of players, you have some of the best that Wisconsin has to offer attending this event. Eric Lenz and Dave Bednarek are well known in these parts for their skills on the battlefield. In the case of Eric, I am surprised to read that he is bringing WoC to the tournament, as he is usually known to field dark elves.
Between the list of players and armies, I am glad that I have decided to forego magic, as I feel it would have been a waste of my points trying to construct any kind of list that could actually accomplish much in the magic phase. This means that most games will be a race against the clock to get my forces into the enemy’s lines before the big nasty spells wipe them out. On the positive side, the lack of magic should garner me some extra sportsmanship points.
The challenge at this point is getting prepared for the tournament and playing a few games with the tournament scenarios. I have to admit that the tournament being a two day event is starting to weigh heavily on me. Tony, the TO, really puts a lot of effort into his events, so I am certain that it will be a good show. That said though, I have been traveling a lot for work and school, and don’t really know if I want to spend another weekend away from the family. I’ll need to decide soon whether or not I want to invest the time, till that point though, I will continue to prep as if I am going.
