Lots of stuff.

Counted about a 12 people who made it.
Couple of new faces.

From what I did.
Played a huge game Red Dragon Inn....Very fun, a blast to play with good friends; Jack and Coke.

Several games of warzone.

First was against Coil.
My Capital against his mishama. Coil won with 2 models left standing. A very good game.

second was against DoomPup. Captial vrs Captial.
Doompup wanted to learn so we played. Showed the basics but man was I rusty on the rules.
Doompup if you read this read the Morale rules...might of gotten that a little wrong.
Fun game none the less hope he comes to TAL 5 as he is a fine chap to play against.

3rd game against Jeff
his cybertronic against a new captial list ( able to call down 3 fire missions a turn in a 750pt list)
As always Jeff is a blast to play against. Do to dice going my way it was soild win for captial.

for the record I heart sea lions and light infantry.

Played Phill in 1000pt chronopia.
My Blackbood Goblins against his Firstborn.
battle went back and forth alot. Just when I thought the Firstborn had the win the Goblins played though and won the game. Damn good game.

Bill ran games of Monster Apocylspe
made a great trade.  Urbercorp got a win barely against Bills Chuthllu thingy. Yeahhh ubercorp

chariot race was awesome.
With Thom winning 1st ( sweet model)
my goblins takeing 2nd
swamp goblins 3rd

wish you could have made it timmy fun games all a round.
Next time I make it a point to re read the rules before next TAL

I got in 3 games of Warzone; I was glad as the new guy for everyone helping me out and teaching me how to play. I also played a game of Space Munchkin (pretty funny) and Red Dragon Inn.
I had a blast and hope to go again next year, with a more intense play schedule now that I am back in the game.
My one regret is that i didn't get to try Siege of the Citadel; I've been wanting to play that for years.

T4 was a blast.

I can't remember all my games in now since there were so many of them but I had a number of really hard fought battles.

Steve in our game you were hit a lot more with the environmental stuff on the board than I was. If the mines hadn't helped kill off a quarter of your army I am sure you would have kicked my ass.

I am still undefeated against Josh (Crystal Lotus FTW! :)). It too was a close game though and I felt really hard pressed when Josh's wolf totem ate both my dragonbanes early in the game. So then Josh and I teamed up to take on the Devout forces led by Dylan and Thom. A fun and hard fought game where we in the end managed to win.

Another really good battle was the last one I had against Dylan on the last day where his Devout faced off against my CL. At the end he had his Warped Lord and a Dark Eye against my Crystal Knight. A vortex template deviated in a good direction for me and took out the Dark Eye and then the CK managed to kill the Warped Lord. If the vortex hadn't helped me I am sure Dylan would have killed the already wounded CK.

I also got to try a couple of new games, MonPoc, Munchkin and Memoir 44. All three very fun games so thanks for teaching me those (Bill, Brian, Jeff and Dave).

I was Coil's first victim with my 1000 PC Ilian list (including both a Behemoth and a Maculator).

We fouhgt in the Mercurian caverns, and Coil's Mishima was as comfortable wihtin the confines as the proverbial "bug in a rug."  I could not get range with the Maculator, and had to settle with flinging a few of his Ashigaru, while Karak and Val D'redd succumbed to superior numbers.

A fun battle, and, also, one I would love to re-visit (after a bit of tweaking of the list).
