Tank Aces Demo *Flames of War*

DESCRIPTION
Join us for a demonstration of the Tank Aces format for the Flames of War Miniatures game.
You, the Tank Ace, are given command of a tank platoon and you must fight against other Tank Aces to increase your renown and fame.
No experience necessary. Miniatures will be provided by members of the existing Flames of War community.
This is a great opportunity to see Flames of War in action by taking command of a tank platoon. Also a good showcase of the game system if you just wish to drop by and watch the action from the sidelines.

I will give all the attendee magic players the option to draft tomorrow.  I know there are two (total as of right now) that I know of that want to draft.  But we'll see.

I will look into the format for next week.

I'm sure Chad wouldn't mind paying me overtime for that.  If he doesn't, then I'm game. I myself have no say in when the tourney starts as I am going to be there at 10am regardless.  So, game on!

I found a pic of said Tectonic Edge.  It looks pretty sweet foiled up.

Accordsing to the Facebook page, 9:30 deck registration and 10:30 start.

So, seeing as this is the weekend after next, what is the plan?  I think we should at least plan out what is going to be happening.  Who is getting a ride with whom... times... stuff like that.  I would like to know so I can plan out next week.

Road trip!

They just posted the results of the first 6 rounds on the page.  I went through and found wojo's name in each of the pages and currently he is 2-4.

Unfortunately dude, the writing was on the wall so to speak for this one.  That tournament a little while ago with 32 Jaces in the top 8 and 60 in the top 16 is pretty gross.  Caw-Blade has been slowly and consistently putting a stranglehold on the standard game.  I know that it is not the case here where we play.  Here we are more aggro-y.  But, just think, in 4 months time, Jace would have rotated anyways (this does not soften the blow of trying to get rid of them now than in 4 months time).  I don't know.  It is up in the air now and this will definitely be interesting to watch.
