Was there no temptation to up the points to 2400?
2000 is very '7th ed'...

Personally I'd rather come down to 1,500, rather than increase the points. Games take less long that way and it stops people from taking multiple copies of the more expensive monsters and stuff.

At 2,400 I've never had a game take longer than 2 hours. The problem is people who play big horde armies and take forever over their turns. I wonder which one of us in this conversation might resemble that remark? In all seriousness, if you can't run through a 2400 point game in a club night (around 3.5 hours) then the problem is not with the system.

True that I have been guilty of this in the past - however its not the case of actually time in gaming - its just the phaffing about before it- I mean starting games at way gone 8.00 is ludicrous so next time it may be a good idea not to socialise before hand, then be called ignorant (can't win either way). I really would like to have all my WFB troops ready on magnetic strips etc as I do for WAB but just can't find the time and money to do so. Still too many rules checks spoil the game flow in this sometimes as its all AoA changes and erratas every so often.
To be honest - your probably correct to point this out and your right that it is not fair on people who I play against. Julie and I have decided that it might be best for all concerned that we do not play in this - so please count us out so you can finish your games in time. This is a memorial trophy for Simon and I would hate to think that he thought we weren't good enough for it and that we couldn't try our best.

That's not what I meant and you know it.

I wonder which one of us in this conversation might resemble that remark? As the only other poster is Stephen who is quick on is game (and doubtful that you would criticise yourself) it is a snidey remark aimed at me, so if that is not what you meant then please be more specific - as from here it is quite clear what you mean. If not please explain fully and I'll apologise for getting the wrong end of the stick.

I am not sure what you are getting at Ben this league is for 2000 pt armies this provides all players with all the various build armies with the best balance to large can favour some armies to small can penalise some armies. so i take it Warren and Julie still wish to take part?

guys; i know i will not be playing in this event, but reading this thread it appears that tempers are getting frayed.
please can this stop as this trophy is a memorial one and as such should be treated with the respect it deserves.
i know each year that someone finds fault(s) with the pack but that is the nature of such things, you cant please all the people all the time. this is the same with GW tournies and others i'm sure.
Darrel has put time and effort into putting a pack together and if you dont like it, simply dont enter this year, and dont forget anyone could have said they were going to run this so maybe people can enter at the total Darrell has settled on, play for the trophy in the spirit it deserves, and you can then put yourself forward next time and run it yourself, and create your own 'pack' for 2013.

As it seems no-one has taken on the role of "Tournament Whipping-boy" yet I feel that I should also take part, if only so that everyone else gets a win!
