hi

i agree with what the others said on the rulespack/missions, also don't change rules during games. there was some conflicting rulings comming from the different organisers, some even conflicted with the addendum.
i was also a bit disappointed to see some hard lists when the tournament was advertised as a fun tournament.
i'd also ask you when making pairings for the first round : try to avoid pairing people from the same club against each other.

viewing it as a "fun" tournament, i had fun !
looking at it as a more competitive tournament the rulespack and missions were too unbalanced and unclear with some poor different judging ruining it for some players ( how to get a relay operational, how to collect the viruses, the fact that points for whipeouts were not known to all players,...)

i'm looking forward to the second edition, i'm happy to see another group starting to organize tournaments and appreciate the effort you guys made!

I had a lot of fun and it was nice to play a different format then usual.
The location and tables were good and the enthusiasm of the organizers was great.

The downside were the missions. They were confusing and unbalanced the game further. (with 650 pts you don't expect much balance, but the missions made it a lot worse)

All in all I had a good time and want to thank the Thunderbolts for having us.

Excellent tournament idea, I really liked the custom missions idea. The missions still need a fair bit of tweaking in order to use them for tournament play, but a good day was had anyway. The tournament preparation seemed a bit hectic, with some rules changes after the publishing of the rules that made army preparations a bit difficult, but that's a learning curve that I'm confident will be tackled for next years. Tables and space offered were ace, no remarks at all there.
I'll definetally attend next tournaments there!

Very fun tournament, with (mostly) nice players. Really had a blast.
Only the mission pack had to many gaps and unclear things in it. All by all a good tournament, with a good
learning progress for the organisers.
If there's another one, I'll be there for sure!!!
