I hear Uprising: Adelaide had really good air-conditioning, licenced venue with QR codes on the tables, so you can have your adult beverages brought to your table whilst you play, lots of room between tables, with no tables end to end, 2 food trucks, baristas and the venue kiosk. Only 16 players this year but aiming to expand for next year.
Cheers for the callout and details of our game, I had a total blast (hence playing all the way to turn six) even though that dang Illusion caster was a major problem. It was in fact the worst trouble I had with magic over the whole tournament. I wouldn't exactly *recommend* going with no magic, but it was less punishing than I imagined.

great reports dude, we definitely made some mistakes in that last game for sure. the heat and noise were killer. the drones being in a line was mostly because of something you said about the lance faq, I obviously misunderstood XD I thought it was odd. being hungover and cooking in my own juices didn't help :P I only attacked with 4 drones in that first combat (the lance being 120mm wide so I can fit 4x50mm bases in) I shot 1 knight off with a stand and shoot and then made a ridiculous amount of poison rolls after you did 1 whole wound 😂 their movement was 2 at this stage but they only needed to make a 6 inch charge to reach the questing knights. In that combat they didn't even attack, the skull chariot and prince killed them to a man. they then overran into 5 skirmishing archers who failed a fear test and were wiped out easily in your turn... which let me overrun next to the prophetess and kill her in my next turn with a lucky 3w deaths head shot. that let me fly again and not rely on overruns to move. the Duke was a mistake, I was still ranked up from the last combat and you charged into me and I played them as open order rather than skirmish... my bad, I owe you many beers. it was the most fun game of the whole event because of how delirious we both were at the end.
Yeah man, rules get fuzzy day 2 after a big one haha, the heat sounded horrendous. No harm to foul seems to be appropriately here. Just some mid table fun.
for sure, I think we were both more interested in joking around than winning this game. the gap in our scores wouldn't have been that bad except I got the objective by fluke and it was worth 600vp's. neither of us realised this until after the game and it pushed my score into the stratosphere.
@@bobbysgherkin9033 yeah we probably sound a bit harsh during the reviews. Its easy to pick rules apart after the game with 3 people reviewing, but 99% of people make genuine mistakes. The end of the day neither people playing knows every rule and mistakes get made on every game. Sorry if we sounded too harsh on the review.
Ah man, that's embarrassing. I thought they had feigned flight and you pulled them early cause they were gonna die! No, you definitely don't get an overrun from catching a fleeing unit.
Good stuff. The bit where the Duc slaughtered all those hungry hippos in one go was hilariously horrifying.

Sounds delightful. What a venue.

Thank you!! I just couldn't come up with it and it annoyed me so much
can confirm, Josh's tables are the best tables
Congratulations on best painted mate. Well deserved next level painting!!
I think I ran into Josh at the Mordheim (at the Ainslie football club). I was dropping in to catch up with an old club mate from the Slayers.
It was Errantry crusade GRAIL knights with the frenzy banner. Not questing knights

@ all good, I'm not trying to sound defensive either :D
When do I get to play Kieran!!! We need to organise a game. And also, I'm sure you're in for BIV right ;) hahah

Great job on the tournament mate!! Great to see the Vamps killing it!
Ah that makes more sense. It was so hard to hear each other in that hall. Congrats on taking out the event mate!
