I remember you said that Gunpla wasn't as popular in your area, but at least it looks like 40k certainly is! Do you live in or near Istanbul or did you have to drive a long distance to attend this?

100? That's still better than around here, which is maybe 20 or 30...? Orlando is much smaller of course, but one would think it would be more since we have a huge comic/ gaming store and an official GW store. Ugh. At least the new house is where GW's Gameday USA is, so many more players (hundreds?) than here. Of course, that's scary because I'll be terrified to stick my noob playing ability on the line. lol

it's not as bad as i led to believe maybe then >_>

but it's still hard to get more than 15-20 people in for a single event.

lol Ah, I see. I understand about distances though. My surgeon when I broke my elbow was 45 minutes away. lol In Florida, this is common. In Maryland, such a drive would make people think you were going to another planet!

Who won ? Where can I find the battle report ?

HobbyV In reply to ChromiumAngel [2011-12-29 22:27:39 +0000 UTC]

there's no battle report...

imperial side won. due to the time constraint, in 2nd turn, after orks move, and tau shooting, there was not enough time to resolve all the assaults. it was kinda stupid. "evil alliance" conceded after 3rd imperial turn.

a game this size should be played in 2 days and without time constraints i guess >_>

In the first pages of codex apocalypse they say a game take like a day at least, so I guess it was unavoidable.

But this is not over, we shall strike down the weak empire, For the Greater Good.

By the twelve hells, Orcs are great allies but their vocabulary is pretty limited.
And it's pretty hard to negotiate when all they ask for is war.
