So… I’d typed up a fairly lengthy post about ‘Ard Boyz at Game Vault on Sunday and, in a first, Blogger ate it.

I am… displeased.

Because I don’t have the energy to rewrite everything, I’ll summarize.  Fortunately, I typed up the army lists in notepad so I can salvage them, at least.

• Got stomped, hard: Minor Loss, Minor Victory, Massacred.
• Had a great time: three good games against three great opponents, despite the stomping.
• Didn’t play any MEQs, which is a shame, as I’d have done better against them.
• Did poorly against IG, Chaos Daemons.
• Game Vault was, as always, great.
• The guy running the tournament did a lousy job.

My list:
