Sheffield Slaughter 2012 - 28/29th Jan

I'll just never go to any event with SLOS.

Doubt that'll happen. Team England have been arguing for TLoS at the ETC.

As for the lists, its an interesting one. I mean on one hand, given how much work TOs have to do for the players, is it really that hard to get your list right so they don't have more work to do? But on the other hand, and more importantly, it's just Toy Soldiers...

The really interesting thing for me, is that seeing how many of these errors are cropping up with this current wave of Open List tournies, makes you wonder just how many illegal lists are being used accidently in closed list tournies...

I will with my double dragon list!

[Steve H]

My problem wasn't that the TO would deduct points (it's in the pack so absolutely no problems)... It's the other players popping up on threads saying it should be enforced when it's none of their business! Just the TO's decision...

It's a bit like running after the referee waving imaginary cards at him to try and get an opponent sent off!

Anyway... Leggy's a nice chap so he wont do it!!! :)

You'd be suprised at how bad some people are. I've been marking lists for events since about 2004 and in 7th some of the mistakes were so evident it had to be deliberate - I think for the CC in 2007 near enough 40% of the lists were outright illegal, usually overpointed, so it makes you think about the more competitive events such as GT's.

As for this year, I dont intend to penalise people for submitting a list in the army builder format, and few enough people did it so that I couldnt really be bothered in sending them back. Will announce this formally shortly though.

[Tom Loyn]

Um, excuse me Lee, could not refer to 'Warhammer Fantasy Battle' as 'toy soldiers'? I happen to take it very seriously as a pastime and will dock you 30pts from your life if you make that mistake again.

[Dave]

I think there should be a penalty system in place for people who complain before events, automatic yellow card.

[Tom Hale]

Save under your own system give yourself a yellow card 

[Annie]

Well that were good.
