Just wanted to plug these guys real quick. draxtargames.com/I was in the 'burbs a few weekends ago and stopped by. Owners were super friendly and actually play the games they sell. They've got a bunch of tables and terrain, and host a monthly 1,850 tournament. It's a bit of a hike out, like an hour from the city, but if you're hankering for some tournament action it might be worth a look-see.

I'm always down for tournament action! If we could get a group together to drive out there, I'd gladly throw in for gas/beers/etc
**EDIT** Just saw they are hosting this month's tournament on Feb 28th. Anyone down to clown?

Let me know, Jen has plans all day on Saturday and I'd love to ride along and get some competitive games in.

Hey guys, Saturday is the Learn to Play Event at Cat & Mouse. If you guys are gonna head out to the tournament, that's totes cools, but I know Dex at least wanted to offer up a couple dudes to help fill out the army offerings. If you guys go, any way I could grab those from you?

I am putting together 4 500pt lists I can meet up to drop off at some point this week or just drop them at CnM? Looks like Tau, SM, IG, Eldar

Great, thanks man, but you won't need to go that far. We won't be doing balanced lists or anything, just running two squads at each other to learn the super basics. Don't want to overburden newbies with too much minutiae out the gate; that never works too well.
One fullish squad of each of the base troop would be awesome. I got SM covered.

Cool, I will throw as many as I can together. But for kids that sort of get it some small 500 point ones may be fun. Plus then you can show them the big cool models. We all know the dreadnought got more of us hooked than a tactical squad.

Yeah, that's definitely true. Hopefully we can get to that then. I'll happily bring whatever you think will help. Thanks a bunch duder.

I think Dex and I are heading to this - anyone else interested? Daniel, Russell? Mike?
Also, maybe I'm dumb but I couldn't find a starting time on the site - anyone have an idea of when the tournament kicks off?

NVM I saw the registration time, I was looking at the wrong forum post originally. Should be a lot of fun, they look like they've done a decent job of limiting the amount of stupid non-fluff army lists like Eldar + Daemons, Tyranids + Knight, etc.

Yeah that sounds about right, it should be a 50 minute drive from the city. I know Daniel and Russel have cars as well, which is why I was checking in. I think I'm bringing my DE with double farseers, to just spam guide/prescience all day. See how that works out. Time will tell!

No can do, not this time. But if there's a one day tournament in the future I'm down.
