Sorry i forgot to tell anyone

Hello,

Sorry i forgot to say but i'm having a month off. I've played thirty odd games with the sons in about two months so its been a bit intense and thought a rest would do me good. I'll also be able to get some more units painted up leaving me with a bit more choice and basically more stuff to kill when i get back to it. So once again sorry for the delay but i'll see you in October

Just a quicky

So I came 6th over all which would sound good if there were more than 14 players, still not terrible. Great fun weekend though and like I say great venue etc. But on that form I wouldn't qualify for the GT so I'd better buck my ideas up. Sorry I've been brief but not had much time and pretty busy trying to sort out Starsmash now. Any way I'll be in touch later in the week.

Many Thanks,

Charley

X Legion Taurnament, Langford 18th 19th August Game 1

This was a great little taurnament that turned up out of the blue, myself and Dave were planning on heading up to London to see Dan for a couple of days when Dan saw this on the web and signed us up. Well worth the trip and hats off to Rob for running such a good weekend. It was a small group but all were very nice players and most of us went off to have a couple of pints and a nice meal on the saturday night, the venue was great and extremely spacious with Rob providing some top class scenery.

Anyway down to the games.

Yeah sorry I've not written anything for a while but as I said I've been pretty busy with films and stuff so here we go. It'll be brief as I've got seven games to update so no long battle reports I'm afraid but I'm sure you'll enjoy to see the ammount of losses I've had recently.

Speaking of which:

Sunday 5 August 2007

What next, or rather who's next?

So with twenty or so games played with just slightly better than a 2:1 win loss ratio and the Chapter down to around 70% fighting strength where do I go from here?

Two possibilities I've been looking at are either Drop-podding but that means getting or making drop pods. Or a large infiltrating force with a couple of tanks to try to pull my opponents deployment in my favour.

The other worry is at this rate i wont have anything left to take to the GT in November? Or not anything like a competitive army, so do i work one out now and play around that list or take it slow for a bit or just go hell for leather and hope my recent poor form improves?

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

I'm working on a film set all next week so will be unable to play a game but I will post any other ideas and of course look forward to seeing if you've got any.

Cheers

Charley
