The games were fun and the players were all well behaved.  Big Battles was the way of the day.  ePilgrim, Dwarf Surpreme, RonSandt, and myself played 8000 per side (four armies of 4000 each) and that took the better part of 8 hours.  The Skitarii and Minveran Legion combined to fight the forces of Biel Tan and Demiurg.  The game was sliding toward defeat for the Xenos team when we squeaked out a victory with BTS and Take & Hold.  Ron abandoned an objective marker in a strange move and the second objective marker we managed to clear out with some luck.  One more turn and we would have folded.

I think you might have gotten TSNP also. In any case, it was an excellent game. We played on a 12' x 4' table. Mosc's dice betrayed him in the first turn with four (five?) failed activations and quite a few failed saves, but they redeemed themselves in turns 2 and 3.

For me (and Suvarov who was nice enough to go out of his away so that we could travel together), it was about three and a half hour drive from my house. It was impressive to see so many Epic players in one place.

Thanks again to Studdering Dave and Moscovian.

OK, pictures are up on Picasa.

Here's a good shot of Tyranids vs Chaos in the desert:


Here's a good shot of my Orks about to get completely mauled by an air-assault-delivered Terminator squad reinforced with Dreadnoughts.  NEVER INTERMINGLE!!!

Dave was at his cousin's wedding (so far as I've heard, the worst excuse for not playing Epic :devil: ), and others had family obligations or work conflicts.

In my defence the cousin's wedding was 4th of July weekend on Cape Cod of all places (a place I would recommend avoiding at that time of year). I actually couldn't make this because I was in Arcadia Maine climbing 60 foot sea cliffs.

I think there's sufficient interest in another one of these days or perhaps a NEAT 2.5 to put something together for Sept/Oct. I'll start looking into options and see what works for people.

You know I'm in for NEAT 2.5.

I just might be able to make a mid-October NEAT 2.5.

That might be the best excuse for missing Epic ever 8v) .

I don't know about October - it may work out for me or may not.  As the date approaches I'll know more.

I do know that the Maryland fellows mentioned wanting to do something around that time as well.  Hopefully the dates will not conflict.  You may want to put the 2.5 event on the calendar ASAP so people can make arrangements around it.

I've started a new thread for a possible NEAT 2.5.

Last year we talked about doing something in NJ on Columbus Day weekend, we could try for that again.
