I don't expect to get any points for sportsmanship..."<br />Bluntly, if you want to win the GW ToS, you have to pick an army you expect to be under-represented or not do well, and then do very well with it, preferably in an entertaining and enjoyable way. The amount of "meta" considerations to take into mean that winning deliberately ToS is going to be a lot of gaming the _system_ and not gaming the, well, game...theresponsibleonenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640217576313519402.post-19039795152685125432012-01-30T16:14:14.469+00:002012-01-30T16:14:14.469+00:00It's a bit of a farce when you can be the only...It's a bit of a farce when you can be the only player to go 5-0 and not win...ClawsandFistsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640217576313519402.post-15515829541302614962012-01-30T09:01:54.666+00:002012-01-30T09:01:54.666+00:00Well done, guys!

And I bet you're glad you took Orks now, Andy?! <br /><br />As for how the tournament was scored, well, I guess it does help to get older codexes represented on the tournament tables, as you're really competing against your own army/codex, which prevents that mythical 'codex creep' from effecting an army's effectiveness. Still, it would be nice to know your final standings in the whole thing! And as for 'niceness' scores, I'm all for them - it helps to keep things friendly in what can be quite a competititve environment. <br /><br />G.Grazer_Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640217576313519402.post-69442199170423552692012-01-30T04:46:30.105+00:002012-01-30T04:46:30.105+00:00whats so shocking?
