Aubrey, I wouldn't mind taking you up on a game or two Monday again. Would earlier in the day work for you? Warpriest, I wish I could make it Saturday but I'm going to the Stormville flea market during the day. Do you have any weekday availability?

I work in Wilton every day. Next Wednesday and/or Thursday night I might be able to make it up after work and have time for a game.

Got two great games in today, with Vlad3!
Aubrey and I played a 50 point match (my first game at that level, but the scale wasn't too crazy). It was a really bloody attrition game, Aubrey using his excellent infantry clearing tools to remove swathes of my 1-wound infantry while I played catch up with some devastating Khador heavy hitters. I kind of derped around with my Nyss and IFP, leaving them in stupid positions to be easily blown away... the piece trade was really the turning point for our game, however: my Spriggan charged (and failed to kill) his battle engine. His Bomber charged my Spriggan, but critically fluffed lots of big damage rolls and left me largely unharmed. Drago (who should have been damaged/engaged by a cavalry dude that I had luckily killed with a free strike) charged the Bomber, and with hot dice wrecked it by himself! This gave me a leg up in the attrition game. Still, it took Vlad himself charging in to try and kill Grissel... she had too many transfers for me to kill her in one turn, and if I failed she would probably beat Vlad on her own turn. So I bought a few attacks and sat at def15 arm22 (thanks to some blood tokens!)... Vlad weathered a turn of attacks from Grissel, and then put her in the dirt on my following turn (but it was a close affair even then!). Thanks for the great game Aubrey, and thanks for your patience/help with my noob-ness!
Mullane and I got a 25 point game in afterwards. I kind of went on autopilot, shoving all my infantry down his throat to overwhelm his lower model count army. However, good use of his feat and some key tramples really helped him thin the ranks. One fun moment was having Vlad finish off a Carnivean by himself, and then sprint to the side... Drago charged through the hole Vlad opened and walked through three Ogrun Warspears with Side Step, before finally sprinting over next to Lylith and then exploding! If I had rolled my damage backwards, I would have killed her in one shot, but instead blew up a Shredder and did 10 points to Lylith. I thought I had the game in the bag at that point, but Tom trampled a Carnivean over to Vlad and came close to assassinating me! I survived with one damage box left (the horse lord is one tough customer!), and Cylena managed to do the last 5 points of damage that I needed to Lylith for the win. Thanks for the game Mullane! We have to get you some new casters to try out.
I've updated the scores above (adding an extra one to Mullane's score for his separate thread about the game, which I counted as a batrep). Hoping more people can get some more games in before next week's round starts!

I was there Saturday with my fully painted 25 point army for about 4 hours, but no opponents. I played a few boardgames with my daughters and walked them through a battle box game.
I'll be in NJ this weekend, so it looks like the first round is a bust for me.

Bummer about Saturday war priest . I would love to get a game in when you are back from your trip. Thanks for the sweet game Brian, it was excellent fun! I will likely be free for more games with anyone who can make it on Sunday or Monday. I'll check in here to se if there are any takers. Thanks! -Aubrey

Bob and I got a Vassal game in tonight, both of us bringing are huge bases to the table! Bob moved his Mammoth .3" too far forward the first turn, so I jumped on my chance to send a focus-laden Conquest rocketing 15" across the board with Vlad's feat. I managed to smash his Mammoth in one round... Bob was on the back foot and poured all of his resources into trying to assassinate Vlad, but came up 4 boxes short (phew!). I used some attacks to force off his transfers, and then Vlad hulked out with BoK for the kill. Bob is on board for the league, and looking for Vassal opponents!

I can't really commit to a game tonight, but if you two are playing I can load up Vassal to watch in/help you guys with technical stuff while you play! (I also don't need any more games this week, so would rather you guys get more opportunities)
