WAAAAGH!

The RTT came and went, and all of us had great fun during this one-day event held at the Rydges Plaza, Dubai!

I'd like to start by thanking the hotel's management and staff for their awesome support and making it affordable to use their premises - we couldn't have done it anywhere else as it was a first in the Middle-East. I would also like to thank all the players, the parents and the users of this website who showed up at the event, 20 of you decided to come over to play and it was YOU who made it possible. To all those that pre-registered: we can never thank you enough for letting us know upfront that you are coming - next time we'll include more goodies in the pre-registration raffle! Thanks James for animating your painting section - we'll include a painting workshop next time! I'd like to thank the awesome camera crew covering the event for us - they did it for free and they deserve to be praised. Last but not least I'd like to thank our sponsors - Bishop's Trading and Nimble Distribution - who brought us the event!

The spirit of gaming was with us during the whole day and the first rule was enforced by all: ALWAYS HAVE FUN! It was great to see adults and children alike playing together and it really worked out - the younger generation actually placed quite well in the tournament, taking the 1st place in the Best Sportsmanship and the 3rd, 4th and 5th place Overall.

The event was the first of this genre in the region and certainly not the last. The awesome success we had will let us turn it into something even better next time. Stay tuned for more info!

Without further ado, here are the results.

Best Overall: Amir Hassan

Best General: Omar Sharif

Best Sportsmanship: Joel

Best Painted Army and Favorite Opponent: Aleks Stejpanovich

which owen is ahead of me? coz me  and the not-small owen counted points and i was 1 above him. or is this including sportsmanship points coz james gave me a 2 which (i know this is gonna start some whining) i did not deserve. i was on time, i did explain simply what my army had, i exxplained my rules to him and showed him my codex,i had all my own  tape measure and templates and dice...thats at least 4 points! he gave me 2 because we argued and he was annoyed that he lost.(which by the way has now happeneed twice, so we're even now james) i gave him a 5 sticking stricktly to the critera. atleast we wont have to deal with him at the september one....maybe ill do better next time and not start to go death company on everyone coz of the damn kid.(yes noxy, i know what you said but i am asking several questions that require answers, besides, this isnt really worth its own thread so im putting it here.) also, i had great fun(mostly) and enjoyed getting covered in mountain dew half way through and thoroughly look forward to the next one :)

Shme what was your player number ;) remember names were not relevant for just this exact reason. 

OmarLK just make sure you and your opponants have fun. As you can tell the RT event focuses on fun, not uberness.  My recomendation is bring the fun list to the RT and save the strong lists for the GT we will be running...oopps did I just reveal something?

i liked the event but i thikn that it took a bit long to set up at the beginning,  but given that there wer like only 4 of you you did quite well.

some of the games were very enjoyable and some were not. 

the most epic game was between me and kharn he betrayer  at the begining we both had 50+ models on the feild,  and byt the 5th turn i had 4 left (encluding ezikeil) and owen had two chaos marines and one obliterator.   i won by victory points but there was only like 20 pts difference.  two of the best moments in the game wer when 5 veterans and 12 khorn bezerkers masacered all of each other in one assault phase  and when i charged a daemon prince with 5 tactical marines and held him up for three turns!!!

 

thanks kharn for a great game
