I agree that people spamming massacres over and over, just to achieve a high place on the leaderboard, is pointless and annoying ... especially the orc with 22-0-0.

I've played a total of 3 games so far for this campaign - 2 massacres of regular opponents and 1 solid victory against my local GW manager (which we both reported so it came up twice :? ). Thats put me, Syneri Gaunt and the Black Host, just top of the Barren Hills zone .... but its nothing compared to people who've reported 15 or so games of 2k+ in under 3 days.

However I do fully expect to get get beaten soundly in my game tomorrow, so that'll even it up a little ..... damn brettonian airforce!

I'm not really that big on fluff writing, but I'm aiming to focus on Tor Thana and will try to incorporate the ideas from the thread if possible

22-0-0 with orcs, eh? What, does that cat only play against 8 year-olds?

Seriusly, I can't believe it's possible to win 22 straight games of warhammer with ANY army, let alone orcs. If so, I want to take that guy to the casino and get him on the craps table.

While I have no idea how someone could get 22 straight wins, my suspicion is that some folks played the game before the website opened and agreed to post it once the site went live. Which I have no problem with.

But 22 straight wins? Man, if what goes around ever comes around for that dude, he's in for one long losing streak!

Maybe he has been playing only Last Stand being the attacker :roll: Or some other "unfair" scenario.

But still it's suspicious. Has he been inventing the BatReps just off his head?

I don't have any hopes for me getting even to the top10... I live in middle of a forest with sixty kilometres to the nearest GW. So, my only possible opponents are my brothers' Empire and O&G. The lists are horrible opponents (since I helped to write them, actually the most parts, my little bros don't know anything about listmaking) So it's my own fault if I lose games.

Well we are far from wining in the Barran hills :(

But no one doing better than us is particulaly interested in Tor Thana (that I know off) :) So it looks like early on we are wiping the Asur soundly in the ruins, first games tomorow so I can finaly get some battles reported.

Tommorow there is an event at my local GW so im not sure how ill count it if I win (it will probably be a multiplayer game so if the other team win they can sort out how to register it) hopefully will give a good show for the Druchii.

I should be able to post quite a few wins during the course of this campaign as 2 40K players have started playing fantesy and are still learning. They should be an easy target :twisted:.

Yhea but I just looked at the board, how can we possibly have gone from about fith to being third from last in a day! (Shakes head) Ah well, no matter, now that I have found a place to play I can at least lend a hand.

Sadly I've came up with no victories yet, sorry about that. My brother as surely gotten good and keeps defeating me and the only other person I battled was orcs but they got lucky.

We're also not doing good in the barren hills I may add, the other places are having to carry us.

We're now in second place. We were only 0.1 rating away from dem Dwarves, but they've shook another 0.2 ahead of us. I also can't believe how far we're down in the Barren hills. Though with the luck we're having we might grab the lead's tails and yank them down. Although I don't like how are other kins behind us. The Asari are 0.3 behind us and Asur are 0.4 (And they are second today)

Also sorry that I haven't won any victorys yet, its hard to find someone else other my brother at this time (Next week could change though). You can read the details of my defeats on the leaderboard at my account. However I am still enjoying myself and having fun in the campaign, the only reason why I'm feeling bad is that I represent the druchii (As well as every druchii player) and my defeats are horrible, because they have been screw ups of me mucking about and not focusing as I make my army lists (I have new corsairs and Cold one knights which I love to use)

Unfortuanately I lost a 1000pt game against Vampires on saturday (though he has an empire account so it will be recorded as a loss to the empire). The guy is very good and I was a bit unlucky at the start of the game which probably lost me it. My cold one knights chargesd into the front of a skelliton unit and if the rolling had been a bit more average I would have wiped the skelliton unit out and overran into the zombie unit with the three necromancers in it and most likly won but it wasn't to be.

Sorry guys, I let the team down.

Heck right now I don't mind since you've won a victory. I lost three to empire and one to orcs. But I've now designed a non-friendly gaming army list that is finally competive and has been made to put my brother's gun line to less use.

Solid victory against my bro. Man though, he has gotten better. He's getting hard to beat. That one was down more or less to luck. If i'd rolled that bad, I'd probbly have been masecared.
