The 40K version of the Bataan death march

Past

July

So here I am in the middle of 40k hell. It started at the beginning of July when I drove out to Wargames Con for 11 games over 3 days. Then I had a couple of weeks off before the Bay Area Open where I got to play only 7 games.

Present

August

Now this is where things start to pick up…last week I broke my bad luck streak at the 'Ard Boyz and I came in 3^rd. Then this week I have a 3 game local RTT for 1750 points I can use to practice for the Nova Open Invitational.

Future

Late August –Sept.

Aug 26-28

 So next week I am working like a manic to get ready for the Nova Open. Not only am I painting like a madman, but I am working 12 hour days to take off of work early next week. Now this where I am going to die by 40k…so the Nova Invitational is 5 games on Friday followed up by 8 games over the weekend for 14 total games. I was going to take a late flight out on Monday, and see some of Washington DC, but I think I will try to take an earlier flight and get myself out of there to crash at home.

Sept 3-4

Then the following week there is the So Cal Smackdown in LA. If they get their act together and some of the better players in So Cal show up I will think about making an appearance.

Sept 10-11

Then it is on to a local GT. I get to sleep in my own bed!!! This is a 30+ player local GT that Empire Games in Mesa is putting on for their 3^rd anniversary.

Sept 17

“Ard Boyz Semi-finals. I am glad this is only one day and then I will be done!!!

Then I get to sit back and relax and work on my 4^th edition army and I do not have to worry about traveling or big GTs until Neoncon in Vegas in early November. Looking back that I would imagine that I am going to be so burned out that I will not pick up a 40k model for a long time.
