Missed seeing you there Jason but I guess only the best players ever make it to Toronto, so we understand... ;D

In regards to Patrick's list, you are correct that he did have about 9 FP. Normally that isn't an issue because you start running low on any prolonged, dragged ot combats. Where Shaun had problems was that his oppenent dropped the FP's during the phase rather than at the beginning of the phase as specified by the rules (yes, I know divine gudiance is used during the phase...). It makes it easy to conserve points when you wait to see if you get wounded by PWs or fists before dropping the invunerable save, etc. Also they only made it into turn 4. Shaun started to get over the top when the round ended. As you know most Sisters don't do well in CC especially against that army (death guard). Patrick did have a beautifully painted army (except for the guard units that have no place in a Sisters army, 2 melta guns in a 5 man squad=cheese) and was a decent enough guy, but given that matchup again Shaun crushes him 9 out of 10 times with his army.

Again Mate, sorry not to see you there. Next year perhaps?

with GW not being my flavour of the month (and it is reciprocated!) I'm not sure when I'll make Conflict TO again - I'll be at GD for the GT, as I will have earned that spot.
Now that I have a pay rise (!) and some stability in my job, and with the kids getting more manageable for Abigail I may be traveling more next season (I've actually been tempted by the talk of your GT!). TO would be on my list for sure.
But GW needs to fix the scoring system a little more!

Congrats to Shaun on the results - I wish I could have been there...

As for the SoB list - well I'm not overly impressed by 9+ FP armies - I find them a little too much. But if the player is abusing the rules of FPs... hmmm... kick his ass!
Ironically my army I'm building right now looks almost identical to the winner's - but then I'm planning on going an kicking ass in the future to try to win Biggest Dic... errrr... Best General award

Jason, I hope you will consider coming to our GT, it should be alot of fun. Courtney, Shaun and Jay are working on a fair scoring system to help eliminate the usual problems. Nothing has been set in stone yet so if you have some suggestions on what to improve or eliminate based on the Toronto system, please post them. Again, hope to see you here next month.

It probably won't be THIS year's DaBoyz GT - but if you hold one next year I will pencil it in!
