SA Comp And BCBSA.

Warmachine Breast Cancer Brawl SA.

This is something I am really looking forward to. Not only will it be my first Warmachine tournament but it will also be something that I can really be proud of myself for if it runs smoothly and raises a lot of money.

I will be running the Tournament at my local Scout Hall on the 10th of October 2009. I have drafted up the ruleset and will put it up on our local forum. I have already got a couple of people interested in playing and might have a sponsor in the pipelines for pizes.

I am hoping to get my Pressganger-ship by October so that I can get some PP prize support. I just need to get moving on my Cygnar....I promise I will start in the next week.

South Africans and Comp for Warhammer.

This is one of the touchiest subjects that you can post about on our local forum. The guys from the Liberal Cape have no issues in trying to fix the game system that GW themselves do not see as broken. But the people from the North (i.e. Johannesburg) are a little less open to the suggestion. We have been having a debate about implementing a Comp into our local Warhammer scene for the last year. Next month is the South African National's and if nothing is done to balance out the silly "Power Tiers" that seem to be present in the game I do not see myself having a good time. It looks like one of our locals has done his homework and decided to post a "SAComp" on the local site. So far it has had many praises and of course the normal criticism, but hopefully we will see some direction very soon.

I do not have the money to start a new army every 6months when GW release a new army book. I have sold my Beasts of Chaos and put my Tomb Kings away so that I can focus on what I see is a more balanced games system, Warmachine.

Warmachine might be the game of the cheeses but at least we know that there is a equal level of cheese for each faction. Warhammer seems to be the game of "Who ever got released last and was really loved by the mentally challenged play testers" has the advantage.

On a side note:
I am taking part in a study between the link of MMO gamers and their Avatars/Characters. It is being run by a friend of mine who will be doing his honours in Social Antropology. I will let you all know what his findings are and how messed up us MMOG's are.

Also I will be attending the South African ICON 2009 next week. I will take some pics and let you guys know how it went. I will be roleplaying and helping out at the Warmachine stand trying to get more converts to the cause.

Until next time....
