I have a question. Not trying to be a doosh but most of you guys are from the UK and have epicUK used at tournaments? why does it matter so much to you guys if it changed to try and balance the australian scene? Are there other places that have a large scene that are posting here and have an interest?
Not trying be a doosh pointing that out again just asking a genuine question i could be wrong.
Some of us in the UK play using Net-EA lists when not at tournaments and UK players have been instrumental in developing many if the Net-EA lists, so it's not clear cut. Plus there's the European tournament, run in a different country per year which has mostly been run using Net-EA lists but where the UK has always sent a team, so there is more interaction then you might think.
I think the differing interpretation of the terrain and scout rules have a small effect on the Australian meta, but that lists played in the UK that counter Eldar well here could do well at your tournaments too if played well, such as the air assault with spacecraft builds people are suggesting. There's some minor differences between the two versions of the Eldar lists but overall they play similarly. I'm only an occasional and not that strategic a player, so trend to score low at tournaments myself, but I have lived in Oz for a couple of years and so experienced tournaments in both
In the so close to zero probability chance I ever win the lottery I'd love to run an international epic tournament, paying for top players from across the world to fly to wherever and play, it would be interesting to see the results and cross pollination of players and tactics.
