It's a tough life doing the math and playing toy soldiers
Just this past Monday was Auckland anniversary weekend and I took the opportunity to run DanCon again however this time I though lets make it different....I went for 700 points and it was going to be a random partner for the whole event however one genius said "Why not a random partner every round?" and with that DanCon II was solidified and the days began to countdown to the event.
Initially I had set up for 24 players however 2 where no shows and this would mean we'd be stuck with 21 players until I stepped up to the plate making it 22 players (although this would mean two folks would be playing each other on a 4x4 table each round).
I didn't go in with the intention of doing super well having this list made off the cuff by the same chap who suggested random partners each round but hell I got a King Tiger and Jet Fighters in my list.
YOU...SHALL NOT...PASS!!!!!
We played 4 rounds and by all accounts everyone had fun I was partnered with 4 great players over the weekend it was also a real learning experience for the newer players a lot of the time being partnered up with a National Champ or a 10 year veteran would help them learn the game and the rules (One of the rules was if your partners army broke so did yours, so protecting your partner was essential)
Oh you pass motivations on a 2+? Here have some 1's
With all being written it was also important to note with all this going on there would only be a first, second and third place so basically what could theoretically happen is a non-power gamer type could be carried to victory but that couldn't happen now..could it? *ahem* Scary Biscuits: Carried to Victory pictures were also stolen from Scary Biscuits Studios & the T.C.O.W blog page T.C.O.W : DanCon II
