What a fantastic day today with all places sold and taken. A great turn out.
Thanks ever so much for Carl, Paul W, Jack for getting all the tables sorted in the morning and for everybody putting them away.
Special thanks to Paul Wilkinson who did a tremendous job in doing the scores today! Spot on!
It was hilarious to see all the Phoenix players playing each other in round four all on the bottom tables!
Still a few managed at least a win from this to make their scores a little more respectable. However the seasoned tourney players showed their metal!
So scores etc.. I will only put up the Tournaments and the VP differences if there is a tie to show why one is placed higher than the other.

Bloodiest General - George Tysoe - with 9780 vps for and against!
a failure in the system programme initially gave this to someone else until I eagle eyed it when I checked the results. The bottom half of the entrants formulae for this was wiped - don't know how and why? However it was fixed and the praise to Jim Cockburn who showed honour and integrity in shipping the award back as it was incorrectly awarded to him no thanks to the glitch.

I would also like to thank James Wicks for Pit Gaming Shop for his generosity with the Prizes - everybody that I have talked to thought that was awesome - so Kudos to you James and thank you so much!
Also thank you Mantic Games who also gave prize support which were used for the best painted armies.
We will be doing a doubles tournament in March and its a corker. Usually the books go out of the window and we make our own scenarios. Not too elaborate though. If you liked this you will be in for a treat in March 2018!
