Salut à tous!
Tout d'abord, un tout grand merci pour les nombreuses marques de soutien que nous avons reçu de l'ensemble de la communauté des joueurs de warhammer belge durant notre préparation et durant le tournoi lui même. Cela a toujours fait plaisir et nous vous en serons toujours reconnaissant.
Pour le résultat, il peut s'expliquer de multiples manières.
Nous avions une stratégie d'équipe bien rodée et bien pensée.
Elle misait sur des armées offensives prenant des points à nos adversaires tandis les autres devaient en tenir le plus possible.
C'est un peu un jeu de domino qui explique notre résultat, les joueurs offensifs ont été un peu court tandis que la défense n'a pas tenu à chaque fois.
Ceci explique notre résultat, nous n'avons pas réussi à tous réussir nos objectifs en même temps.
Je vous mets ici mon débriefing en anglais (celui que j'ai mis sur la partie privée etc vu que je n'ai rien à cacher sur ma contre performance de cette année).
Here i go for my debriefing.
First of all; it was a really fun and enjoyable weekend with the team and i wish to thank you all again for those moment shared with all of you.
+-The hotel was really nice with the pool and other stuff.
-The hall were we play was fresh enough with the hot weather and leser noisy than last year too.
--The global result from the team, i'm really disapointed that with training day, preparation and other stuff during all the year we arrived to the last place. I'm guilty for this at all with my offensive earning playing goal that i don't reach.
-The referee were even worse than in old Mons (Bergen)tournament, changing their advice from one to another game and only choosing one thing without explaining anything...
-Playing on the lastest table, allow us the breaked table ugly scenery and wiith three day accumulation the impression to play in the bigest trash can i've ever seen!!!!
-My personnal result due to i though lack of playing my etc army, training, analyse and focus on "news" army, mistake and wrong choice during my game and lack of hope and moral break down, i had doubt during all my game and i think it was playing against me.
Russia: lizzardmenThe game where i made mistake and i was deceive by my opponent.
I told me "ruins block lign of side" in fact it wasn't the case.... so he can hide his salamander behind and play cat and mouse with one unit of pegasus during 5 turn. This doesn't allow me to clear the left side of the battle field or to send reinforcement while salamander have run away.
This game fails also because i don't manage to put the pression on him.
I don't declare one charge loosing two turn instead of one and being than in bad position.
I was also mistaken by the scaledscale saurus on a flank of a unit of skink +kroxigor and alignement rules (thanks referee, see game 2)
I loose 4-16 but my opponent don't count his salamander so 3-17 on result sheet
Australia : daemons of chaos
First shame on me,i don't play any game against the new book before the etc. It was unforgivable to take place in the biggest warhammer team event in the world
So i take the game with more care than the previous and i though to one plan.
Get stuck in combat while my magic boost me and the reinforcement from pegasus hunting the flank and rear finally arrived. My opponent doesn't have dispell scroll.
I hope to make a big push in a wish to redeem myself for my first failure.
Well not a bad plan but two thing brake it at all.
-One was the wind of chaos such a alternative thing that even my opponnent can not take in care for his strategy. Luckily for him, i lost one unit of pegasus on one flank with a panic test cause by slaanesh effect and in one crucial figth he reicived the +1 ward save. That's the will of chaos like Julk always said
-The other was a bit more annoying. I've put my pegasus general in a unit of knigth for get the magic ressistance bonus from my prophetress and have a change in a combat with a charging unit of beast of nurgle. I though this allow me protection from one flank (model charging me on this particular flank can only be in base contact with the lord) but the judge told: the unit can fight my knigth, one inch and a half away like they were in contact..... he is the judge but against the russian player, this was exactly the opposite!!!!
So my strategy fall into pieces while i get stuck in combat and can only wish to roll heroïc killing blow (1 single rolled on 10 close combat phase) and reinforcement for kill rederecting unit had fled of the table....
I've played my game like in a normal tournament to earn the more poin possiblet, i should have play on my higher mobility take the maximum little unit than try to get the rest if needed by the team. I was a selfish man on this game :oops:forgetting my role.
I lose 6-14 against one opponent that i'm pretty sure i can beat because he doesn't show me any master's degree on his pratice.
Croatia : skavenSkaven army is really good for me to encounter. The list was not too strong and i manage to deploy facing all his army. He strangly choosed to be with troops on all the table
!
This was a big mistake, my opponent doesn't play many and was surprise by bretonnian army and troops.
I issue a charge at turn 2 giving me a good option on an attempt to kill his grey seer general.
He made a big error lauching the spell plague in an unit in close combat with his unit that on the effect of flesh to stone.... By this time his general and magical supperiority crumble.
I carefully choose my combat avoiding the nasty hellpit abomination and rederecting the plague monk with archer.
In turn 5 i'll asked question to the captain to launch another assault on plague monk and furnace unit.
Captain told me to do so i stroke to the skaven mass.
I won the combat but we don't play the turn 6 because of lack of time. This allowed him save his furnace but also permetted me to not crack dow in case of failure in dice roll.
I wom 16-4.
Wales: daemon of chaosWell, the list was "made" for me. Many little unit, few impact one. Playing on magic and redirection but i've got aerian supperiority.
My opponent was really nice, recalling me thing i've forgot and other stuff. I'll go the same way with him. Something really different from Russian hard style!
In the beginning my opponent was really lucky but by the time, the tide changes and i rush into his unit using speed reform to perform charge again and again.
Not a single daemon survive!!!
20-0
Canada beast of chaosI've played many time against Stephane list so i'm sure i can win this game.
The problem was that my opponent win the roll for the side choosing and that in the left flank of the table, there was a building. With his heard stone, i can easyly hide....
So i take all the point that i can with chasing the non hidding troops.
In turn 4, he summoned a Gorghon with his magic, i'll try to avoid the monster and succeeded it.
In turn 5, i was in position to charge the beast: if i killed it, he's got to pass 5 toughness test for his mage general that only have 2 wounds.
The coach seems okay for me to try this. I cast magic to boost my grail knigth with an amount of +1 of strengh and toughness. Misscast; 4grail knigth dies.... the gorghon takes 4 wounds, the mage survive.
I lost my knight and the half of a damsel.
10-10 on a bad luck roll.
the nederlands : dark elvesBy this time, i was six feet under... my morale was really law.
My opponent saw it and taken no pitty to deceive on it!!! A really good player but also an opportunist one.
His list was also made with several thing particulary good against armor save (3 really mobile character equiped with it)
On my left flank a house... that he used wisely to augment the range of his numerous crossbow
In normal way, i must be carrefull because of his light cavalery, shade and other stuff.
I've made several mistake in the deployement and in turn one, i was stuck only to undergo his game and only react to his action... really bad with my agressive list.
Magic was good for him during all the game, always roll of doule 5+5, 4+5 and other stuff.
I put some danger on his level 4 wizard (surviving a cascade in turn one
) by using my silver mirror on it. If he rolls a misscast again,he's gone loose his wizard, he does it but roll a 1 to wound...300 pts saved
I've been cheatten by him, i'm already sure he used two times his dispell scroll. But i don't writte its because of my bad mood and also because i've played again fairplay players for the 4 games before, you're not tune to cheater anymore!
He also used to fart in my table side on turn 2... in a big noisy room you only get the smell, i understand this only now but that was why he came by my side, no other explanation.
He always told me to speed up for him to get more point to put preassure on me and while i could find a plan to renverse the game he rolled a lucky 4 leadership stucking my troop on the center in a combat where i can send reinforcement and won.... My general fleed after 3 turn of combat without any heroïc killing blow rolled.
My opponent tried also with the help of his captain to deceive me on the rules of line of sigth....
Then not enough happy with his won, my opponent tried to steal me things:
-dice, rope in my bad (he said: i used the same! Nearly but not)
-rules book and bretonnian (in french) that we found in his bag, as he told me he is a dutch guy.
I hope, i never play against him anymore!!!
2-18.
Total: 58 points, i've made an average harvest of 9,7 points par game.
My goal was of 78 pts, 20 points are lacking.
Too few for the team that wanted me to bring points.
With the average good pairing i've received, it was a huge waste.
Particullarly while defensive army could flunk to permit my match to have places...
